Buccal Fat Removal & Double Chin Liposuction
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a slimmer facial line through buccal fat removal and LipoSound double chin liposuction after diet failed.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Facial fat that remains despite consistent dieting for several months
* Consultation
# You can think of buccal fat as the ‘visceral fat’ of the face.
# No matter how much you diet, it is often the last to go or doesn't disappear at all.
# By simply removing buccal fat through a small incision inside the mouth, you’ll likely find yourself thinking, ‘I should have done this sooner.’
* Plan
# Buccal fat removal
# LipoSound + Double chin liposuction
* Post-operative Progress
# The bulky, heavy look has vanished thanks to buccal fat removal and double chin liposuction!
# Fat that simply cannot be resolved through dieting can be easily removed through a relatively simple surgical procedure!
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Since it liquefies fat particles—which are like orange pulp—into a juice-like state, the fat can be suctioned out smoothly like water without requiring excessive force.
Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Bio-bond (post-surgical adhesions) is also significantly reduced!
Always seek consultations and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!
Wishing you both health and beauty today :)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is buccal fat so difficult to lose?
Buccal fat is like the 'visceral fat' of the face, meaning it's often the last to go or very difficult to lose, even with consistent dieting. It's often challenging to address with general weight loss methods.
How is buccal fat removal surgery performed?
Buccal fat removal surgery is performed simply through an incision inside the mouth. The key is to remove only a portion of the excessive fat in the cheek area, which is a relatively simple way to improve the facial contour.
What is Liposound, used in double chin liposuction?
Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It helps liquefy fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for smoother aspiration.
What are the advantages of using Liposound?
Using Liposound allows for smoother aspiration of fat, like water, significantly reducing irritation during surgery. This leads to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and less adhesion (bio-bond) after surgery.
When can I expect to see improvements in facial fat after surgery?
The timing of facial fat improvement after surgery varies by individual, but in the case studies, a reduction in the dull appearance and improved facial lines were observed around 2 months post-surgery. Consistent follow-up observation is important.
What side effects can occur after surgery?
Yes, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after surgery. These may vary by individual, so thorough consultation and caution are necessary before surgery.
