LipoSound Facial Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin, Nasolabial/Front Cheek)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline and slimmer face through LipoSound ultrasonic liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent facial fat and undefined jawline despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This allows the fat to be removed effectively through small incisions, even with a tiny cannula, as it becomes liquid enough to be squeezed out.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the video below first ^^
* Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline & Front Cheek)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to liposuction of the jawline, double chin, and front cheeks!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:
1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant 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-operative adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, it provides additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ultherapy, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on the principle of ultrasound.)
# Generally, there may be swelling and bruising for about a week after the procedure. It is important to wear a compression garment (face band) and apply cold compresses diligently.
# Two weeks after the procedure, the treated area may feel tight and firm. This is due to the adhesion phenomenon commonly called ‘bio-bond,’ which occurs as fibrous tissue forms to heal the treated area.
During this stage, warm compresses and stretching are helpful. When you visit for your one-month follow-up, we provide specialized treatments based on VIBE Plastic Surgery’s unique know-how to help resolve these bio-bonds. ^^
# Weight management (diet + aerobic exercise) after the procedure is essential! It is not ‘the end’ just because you had liposuction; rather, you should manage yourself even more diligently starting from the liposuction to achieve dramatic satisfaction. :)
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of procedure is LipoSound facial liposuction?
LipoSound is a device that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat, allowing for gentle removal. It liquefies fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, enabling effective suction even with a small cannula.
Which areas can be improved with LipoSound facial liposuction?
Yes, fat in the jawline, double chin, and anterior cheek areas can be suctioned and improved. It effectively removes dull-looking facial fat, creating a more slender and defined line.
How long is the recovery period after LipoSound treatment?
Generally, there may be swelling and bruising for 1 week after the procedure, and after 2 weeks, a bio-bond phenomenon occurs where the treated area feels tight and firm. While there are individual differences, wearing a compression band and applying hot/cold compresses are important for faster recovery.
Are there any precautions or management methods after LipoSound treatment?
Yes, for 1 week after the procedure, you should consistently wear a compression band and apply cold compresses. After 2 weeks, during the bio-bond phenomenon, warm compresses and stretching are helpful, and weight management (diet and aerobic exercise) is also essential.
What are the additional advantages of LipoSound treatment?
LipoSound has the advantage of faster recovery from bruising and swelling because it gently removes fat. Additionally, because ultrasound is applied under the dermis, you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
