Facial Liposuction (Liposound)
A 30s female patient achieves a defined jawline and slimmer cheekbones using Liposound ultrasonic liposuction at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 30s
# Stubborn double chin fat that remains despite consistent dieting
# Wide zygoma (side cheekbones) but hesitant about bone contouring surgery
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be extracted through tiny holes, and because it can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

* Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Side cheekbones, jawline, double chin)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
# The side cheekbone area is actually not a place with a vast amount of fat. Therefore, satisfaction levels can vary. Some see noticeable improvement if they have significant fat, while others with prominent bone structure and little fat may see less of an effect from liposuction alone.
Principles of Liposound
# ‘Liposound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—similar to orange pulp—into a juice-like state.
1. It is much smoother — fat can be squeezed out like water without applying great force, and it can be suctioned through a very small cannula. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces ‘bio-bonds’ (post-surgical adhesions). 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, it provides additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ulthera, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasonic principles.)
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE comes from rich experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of procedure is Liposound?
Liposound is a device that emulsifies fat using ultrasound. It liquefies fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for smooth fat aspiration even with a small cannula.
Which areas can facial liposuction be applied to?
Facial liposuction can primarily be applied to the double chin, jawline, and lateral cheekbone areas. It is particularly effective in improving the dullness of the double chin and jawline.
What are the advantages of the Liposound procedure?
The Liposound procedure liquefies fat, allowing for aspiration with a small cannula, which results in less irritation than conventional liposuction, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, as ultrasound works beneath the dermis, skin elasticity and lifting effects can also be expected.
Is recovery fast after the Liposound procedure?
Yes, recovery after Liposound is relatively fast because it liquefies fat for gentle aspiration, causing less irritation than conventional liposuction. Less bruising and swelling occur, making it easier to return to daily life.
What side effects can occur after the procedure?
Various complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur after the procedure. These side effects may vary depending on the individual, so sufficient consultation and caution are required before the procedure.
