Buccal Fat Removal & Double Chin Liposuction & Chin Implant
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a sharp, masculine jawline through buccal fat removal, LipoSound double chin liposuction, and a chin implant.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Receding chin and rounded jawline
# Double chin and chubby cheeks creating a ‘turtle neck’ and blunt appearance
* Consultation
# The lower face is too short compared to the overall face length, lacking a masculine feel.
# Due to the receding chin, the neck line is not defined, resulting in a heavy look. No matter how much we reduce the double chin fat, the chin itself is short, so we planned to define the chin tip using an implant.
# You can think of buccal fat as the ‘visceral fat’ of the face. Since it is the last to disappear no matter how much weight you lose, removing it simply through surgery is the most convenient and efficient method.
* Plan
Buccal Fat Removal
LipoSound + Double Chin Liposuction
Chin Tip Implant
* Post-operative Progress
# How does the jawline look now that it’s defined? Not only has a very sharp jawline been completed, moving from a U-shape to a V-shape, but the overall impression has also become more masculine!
# The blunt feeling has disappeared thanks to buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction! Shall we say the image has transformed from rounded to sharp and sexy? haha
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Since it liquefies fat particles—which are like orange pulp—into something like juice, the fat can be suctioned out smoothly like water without applying great force.
Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Post-operative adhesions, known as ‘bio-bonds,’ are also significantly reduced!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
Stay healthy and beautiful today :)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is buccal fat?
Buccal fat can be thought of as visceral fat in the face. It tends to be the last fat to disappear even with weight loss, so surgical removal is a convenient and efficient method.
What kind of equipment is Liposound?
Liposound is equipment that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It helps to liquefy fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for gentle aspiration.
What are the advantages of buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction?
Yes, these procedures help to eliminate a dull appearance and transform a round U-shaped jawline into a sharp V-shape, generally creating a more masculine and sophisticated impression. Using Liposound also has the advantage of faster recovery due to less irritation.
In what cases is chin implant surgery considered?
Chin implant surgery may be considered when the lower face is short compared to the overall length of the face, lacking a masculine feel, or when a recessed chin makes the neck line appear dull, in order to enhance the chin and improve the jawline.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Yes, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery, and these can vary from person to person, so caution is required.
Who should I consult for surgery?
Yes, it is recommended to receive consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon. It is important to discuss thoroughly with a specialist to create a plan that is right for you.
