Achieving the Perfect V-Line with Double Chin Liposuction and Thread Lifting
A 30-year-old female patient achieves a sharp jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction and thread lifting, effectively removing stubborn fat and tightening skin.
* Patient Information
# Female in her 30s
# Stubborn double chin fat despite consistent dieting
# Concerns regarding sagging skin
* Consultation
# By utilizing ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through tiny openings and removed very effectively using only a small cannula.

The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Since it liquefies fat particles—turning them from something like 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 through a very small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and significantly less ‘Bio-bond’ (post-surgical adhesions).
2. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, there is less sagging after the procedure, and you can achieve additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.
# You may experience some discomfort starting about two weeks after surgery as Bio-bonds form. 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.
# If skin sagging is expected after liposuction, we highly recommend combining it with thread lifting! If you desire a dramatic transformation like the case above, thread lifting is a must!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is ultrasound used during double chin liposuction?
Yes, ultrasound can be used to break down subcutaneous fat into smaller pieces and liquefy it. This liquefied fat can then be effectively removed with only a small cannula, increasing the efficiency of the procedure.
What is the principle of the LipoSound procedure?
LipoSound is a device that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency. This allows fat to be gently squeezed or suctioned out without applying great force.
Will there be skin sagging after ultrasonic liposuction?
No, because the ultrasound is applied under the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure. Additionally, you can achieve skin elasticity and tightening effects, reducing concerns about sagging.
Is it good to combine thread lifting after double chin liposuction?
Yes, when skin sagging is expected after liposuction, it is recommended to combine it with thread lifting. If you want a dramatic V-line change, combining thread lifting is even more effective.
How should I manage bio-bond after surgery?
Bio-bond can occur about two weeks after surgery, and consistent warm compresses and stretching help it resolve faster. You may also receive an injection to help dissolve it around the one-month mark.
What is the difference between ultrasonic liposuction and general liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction (LipoSound) liquefies fat and removes it with a small cannula, making it less irritating than general liposuction. This leads to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and less bio-bond formation.
