30s Female Double Chin Escape! Liposound, Buccal Fat Removal & Lifting Review
A 30s female patient achieves a sharp V-line through a combination of Liposound, buccal fat removal, and HIFU lifting, overcoming stubborn facial fat that diet couldn't fix.
Hello 😊
Today, I would like to introduce a treatment case where we resolved concerns regarding a double chin and jawline fat for a woman in her 30s. Double chins and facial fat that cannot be solved by simple dieting... In these cases, the answer lies in accurate diagnosis and an effective combination of treatments!
📌 These were her concerns
- The jawline appeared blunt and dull
- The double chin was severe enough to be visible from the front
- The cheeks felt heavy and saggy, making the face look larger
- She had already tried dieting, but there was almost no change in her face
This patient was deeply concerned about her fat distribution and structural issues, even asking, ‘Is it just my constitution that I cannot lose weight in my face?’
🧠 Recommended Treatments After Diagnosis
As a result of the diagnosis, the issue was not just simple subcutaneous fat, but a combination of deep fat under the chin + buccal fat (deep fat inside the cheeks) + sagging.
Therefore, I recommended three treatments:
1. Liposound
This is liposuction equipment that melts and discharges fat using ultrasonic energy.
- Selectively destroys only fat cells to safely refine contours
- Less bleeding and bruising with a fast recovery
- Equipment optimized for double chin and jawline fat
- Sustainable effects by reducing the actual number of fat cells
2. Buccal Fat Removal
A microsurgery that precisely removes fat located deep inside the cheeks.
- Buccal fat does not go away with general dieting or non-invasive procedures
- Removal lightens the line below the cheekbones for a slim face shape
- Relieves the weight of the mid-face area
3. HIFU Lifting (Shurink, Ulthera, etc.)
A procedure that pulls up sagging tissue and helps the skin adhere tightly.
- Prevents sagging after fat removal + refines the V-line
- Natural contouring and elasticity enhancement effects
📸 What are the changes after the procedure?
💡 The jawline becomes clearly defined immediately after the procedure, and between 2 to 4 weeks, the swelling subsides to complete the V-line!
- The front of the face looks smaller as the double chin disappears
- The cheekbones appear less prominent as the cheek fat is reduced
- The entire face line feels refined due to the sharp jawline!
Most importantly, she achieved a natural yet definite change, hearing people around her ask, ‘Did you lose a lot of weight?’ or ‘Are you on a diet?’ 😊
🧬 Advantages of this treatment combination from a medical perspective
You shouldn't just remove fat. Since the skin remaining after fat removal can sag, it is essential to supplement elasticity with lifting.
Buccal fat is the main culprit that makes mid-face volume heavy and the face look large. Refining this area makes the face much lighter and gives a more sophisticated impression.
Liposound is characterized by fast recovery and minimal bruising because it selectively destroys only fat while minimizing tissue damage using ultrasound.
A customized combination that utilizes the strengths of each procedure creates a much more natural and high-quality result than simple liposuction.
👩⚕️ Recommended for those who:
- Want a smaller face but feel frustrated by a double chin or jaw fat
- Are worried about cheek fat/jaw fat/double chin that doesn't go away with dieting
- Want a natural yet definite V-line effect
- Expect a sustainable lifting effect while reducing the burden of surgery
💬 Closing Thoughts
Many people think, ‘If I lose weight, my face will get smaller,’ but in reality, structural fat distribution and loss of elasticity are more important issues.
As in this case, improving buccal fat + double chin fat + sagging all at once can create a V-line where you can truly feel the change.
Don't hesitate because you are afraid of surgery. With a customized treatment combination, fast and natural changes are possible!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it difficult to get rid of a double chin and chubby cheeks with diet alone?
Yes, it is often difficult to resolve with diet alone. This is because double chins and chubby cheeks are often caused by structural issues such as deep fat under the chin, buccal fat, and sagging, in addition to simple subcutaneous fat.
What is Liposound?
Liposound is a liposuction device that uses ultrasonic energy to melt and expel fat. It selectively destroys only fat cells to safely refine the facial contour, and is characterized by less bleeding and bruising, and faster recovery.
What are the effects of buccal fat removal surgery?
Buccal fat removal surgery precisely removes the fat deep inside the cheeks, making the line below the cheekbones lighter and slimmer. It helps alleviate the heaviness of the mid-face, giving the face a smaller and more sophisticated impression.
How do you manage skin sagging after fat removal?
Skin sagging that may occur after fat removal can be managed with HIFU lifting procedures. HIFU lifting helps pull up sagging tissue and strengthen skin elasticity, preventing sagging after fat removal and completing a natural V-line.
How long is the recovery period after the procedure?
The jawline becomes clearly defined immediately after the procedure, and the V-line is usually completed as swelling subsides within 2 to 4 weeks. Liposound uses ultrasound, which causes less tissue damage, resulting in faster recovery.
In what cases do you recommend this treatment combination?
This treatment is recommended for those who want a smaller face but are bothered by a double chin or jawline fat, those who are concerned about chubby cheeks/jawline fat/double chin that won't go away with diet, and those who want a natural yet definite V-line effect.
