Achieve a Firm Face Shape with the LipoSound & Silhouette Soft Lifting Combination!
A case study of a female patient in her 50s who achieved a defined jawline using LipoSound ultrasonic liposuction and Silhouette Soft lifting.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 50s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be removed effectively through a tiny hole using only a small cannula, making the extraction process highly efficient.
# Since skin sagging was also present, we planned to perform Silhouette Soft lifting simultaneously.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the YouTube video below first ^^
* Treatment Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
# Silhouette Soft Lifting (Jawline)
* Post-Operative Progress
# The blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:
1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery with minimal bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.
# About two weeks after surgery, you may experience discomfort due to the formation of bio-bonds. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching can help them resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve these bonds during the one-month follow-up checkup!
# Even with the same type of thread, the results can vary completely depending on the design and the vector of insertion. Whether the goal is simply to lift or to sculpt a defined jawline, the extensive experience of the medical staff and a customized design for each individual are crucial!
# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft and MINT’ as lifting materials. The proper combination of these two threads not only provides a definitive lift but also induces collagen synthesis from within, allowing patients to feel a firmer skin texture after 2 to 3 months!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE comes from rich experience.

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of procedure is Liposound?
Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat for gentle removal. It allows for liposuction with a small cannula, which means less irritation and faster recovery.
Is there any skin sagging after Liposound treatment?
No, on the contrary, there is less skin sagging, and you can achieve additional skin elasticity and tightening effects. This effect can be expected because ultrasound is applied under the dermis.
What are the effects of Silhouette Lifting?
Silhouette Lifting lifts sagging skin to create a jawline and induces collagen synthesis from within, improving skin elasticity after 2-3 months. The experience of the medical staff and customized design are important.
Why are Liposound and Silhouette Lifting performed together?
When double chin fat removal is accompanied by skin sagging, Liposound effectively removes fat, and Silhouette Lifting improves the elasticity of sagging skin to complete a more satisfactory facial shape.
What should I do if biobond occurs after surgery?
Biobond may occur about two weeks after surgery, causing discomfort. In this case, warm compresses and stretching are helpful, and we may administer an injection to release it at the one-month follow-up.
What threads are mainly used for Silhouette Lifting?
Mainly Silhouette and Mint threads are used. With the appropriate combination of these two threads, you can expect a definite lifting effect and the effect of making the skin firm by inducing collagen synthesis.
