LipoSound & Buccal Fat Removal

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting

* Consultation

# By using 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 small openings or removed effectively using only a small cannula.

# You can think of buccal fat as the ‘visceral fat’ of the face. Since it is often the last to disappear even with weight loss, removing it surgically is the most convenient and efficient method. Removing buccal fat provides a particularly dramatic effect for those concerned about volume in the cheek area.

The Principle of LipoSound

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles, which are normally like orange pulp, into a juice-like state.

1. It is much smoother—fat can be squeezed out like water without applying much force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘bio-bonds’ (post-surgical adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Because ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.

# Buccal Fat Removal

‘I’ve tried every procedure under the sun for my face shape, but I trusted VIBE more because it actually removes the fat rather than just being a simple injection or Botox!! I also had buccal fat removal done at the same time. Dr. Yoo Young-moon was so kind, and I felt great seeing how hard he worked during the procedure. Swelling and bruising improved so much in just one day that my dad, who I live with, still doesn’t even know I had it done, haha. My jawline has appeared, and I used to be stressed about my side profile because the buccal fat made the area next to my mouth look like a bulldog’s jowls, but now that lump feels gone. Thank you!’ - Real Customer Review

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Liposound remove fat?

Liposound uses ultrasound to liquefy fat. It softens fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, making them easy to aspirate with only a small cannula. This process results in less irritation during the procedure and faster recovery.

How long is the recovery period after a Liposound procedure?

Liposound uses ultrasound to gently remove fat, resulting in less irritation. Therefore, recovery from bruising and swelling is relatively fast. According to customer reviews, there are cases where people felt fine in just one day.

What effects can be expected from buccal fat removal?

Buccal fat removal reduces excessive volume in the cheek area by removing visceral fat from the face. You can see a more dramatic effect, especially when removing volume from both cheeks, and it helps eliminate a dull appearance and improve the jawline.

Is there any concern about skin sagging during a Liposound procedure?

No, Liposound emits ultrasound from beneath the dermis, so there is less skin sagging after the procedure. On the contrary, you can additionally achieve skin elasticity and tightening effects, which can alleviate concerns about skin sagging.

In what cases are Liposound and buccal fat removal effective?

They are effective for those who are concerned about a double chin that doesn't go away despite consistent dieting, a dull jawline, or their face shape. Especially since buccal fat is the last area to lose fat even with weight loss, surgical removal is efficient.

What are the possible side effects that can occur after a procedure at Vibe Plastic Surgery?

It is stated that complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may vary depending on the individual after surgery, and caution is required. It is important to consult sufficiently with a specialist before the procedure.
