Achieve a Perfect V-Line with Buccal Fat Removal and Liposuction!
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a slim V-line through ultrasonic liposuction, buccal fat removal, and salivary gland Botox.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent double chin and cheek fat despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, we can break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through tiny openings or removed effectively using only a small cannula.
# Since the parotid glands (palpable masses below the ears) were quite large, we decided to proceed with Botox as well.

* Treatment Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
# Buccal Fat Removal
# Shurink (HIFU Lifting)
# Salivary Gland Botox
* Post-Operative Progress
# The blunt appearance of the jawline and double chin has disappeared thanks to liposuction!
# The chubby cheeks seen from the front have become much slimmer through buccal fat removal!
# ‘LipoSound’ is 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 great force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
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. During this time, applying warm compresses and stretching will help them resolve faster. We also provide softening injections during the one-month follow-up if needed!
# Buccal fat is a large mass of fat located deep within the cheeks. If you are curious about buccal fat removal, you can learn more about the surgical methods and results via the link below.
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider deep cheek fat removal and liposuction?
Yes, deep cheek fat removal and liposuction can be considered if you have consistently dieted but still struggle with stubborn double chin or cheek fat. In particular, ultrasound-assisted liposuction effectively removes fat and helps create a V-line.
What are the advantages of LipoSound ultrasonic liposuction?
LipoSound is a device that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat particles and gently aspirate them. This method allows fat removal without applying significant force, resulting in less irritation and faster recovery from bruising or swelling. Additionally, it minimizes biobond formation.
Will there be skin sagging after liposuction?
No, LipoSound ultrasonic liposuction typically results in minimal skin sagging after the procedure. Since the ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and tightening effects, reducing concerns about sagging.
How should I manage biobond after surgery?
Biobond can form about two weeks after surgery and cause discomfort. In such cases, consistent warm compresses and stretching can help it resolve faster. Around the one-month mark, we may administer injections to help release it.
Can I also receive salivary gland Botox?
Yes, it is possible. If you have enlarged parotid glands, combining salivary gland Botox with liposuction and deep cheek fat removal can lead to more satisfactory facial line improvement.
