Buccal Fat Removal & Double Chin Liposuction

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Despite losing weight in other areas through dieting, facial fat and the jawline have reached a plateau.

* Consultation

# You can think of buccal fat as the ‘visceral fat’ of the face.

# No matter how hard you diet, it is often the last to go or doesn’t budge at all.

# This can be easily resolved by removing buccal fat through a simple intraoral incision.

# LipoSound liposuction has the advantage of leaving no scars (as there is no traditional incision or suturing process), and it allows for a quick return to daily life due to minimal swelling and bruising.

* Plan

# Buccal fat removal

# LipoSound + Double chin liposuction

* Post-operative Progress

# The blunt appearance has vanished thanks to buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction! How does the jawline look to you? Not only has the rounded U-shape been transformed into a very sharp V-line, but the face itself also appears smaller.

# As shown in the illustration above, buccal fat exists over a wide area. We only remove the excess fat in the cheek area (the lower portion of the fat pad). Since we use an intraoral incision, it has the advantage of being scar-free.

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. You can imagine it liquefying fat particles—which are like orange pulp—into something like juice. Because it turns the fat into a liquid state, the fat can be suctioned out very smoothly without requiring significant force.

Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to a faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Bio-bonding (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced!

Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Stay healthy and beautiful today :)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is buccal fat difficult to remove?

Buccal fat is like visceral fat in the face, meaning it's often the last to go or doesn't reduce easily, no matter how much you diet. Therefore, improvement through diet alone may be difficult.

Will there be scars after buccal fat removal?

No, there's minimal concern about scars. Buccal fat removal is performed using an incision inside the mouth, allowing the procedure to be done without visible external scars, which is a major advantage.

What kind of procedure is Liposound liposuction?

Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It works by liquefying fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for gentle suction and reducing irritation during the procedure.

How long is the recovery period after a Liposound procedure?

Liposound generally has a faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction. Since ultrasound gently emulsifies and suctions fat, there's less irritation, resulting in less swelling and bruising, and a quicker return to daily life.

What changes can I expect after buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction?

After the procedure, the dullness will disappear, and the jawline will become more defined, potentially transforming a round U-shaped face into a sharp V-shape. You can also expect the face itself to appear smaller.
