LipoSound Liposuction (Front Cheeks, Double Chin, Jawline)

* Basic Information

# Female in her late teens

# Persistent facial fat and undefined jawline despite consistent dieting

* Consultation

# By utilizing 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 tiny openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the extraction highly effective.

# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin, Jawline, and Front Cheeks)

* Post-operative Progress

# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the liposuction on the jawline and front cheeks!

The Principle of LipoSound

# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—which are like 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 using only a small cannula. Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘Bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can also gain additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ultherapy, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasonic principles.)

# 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.

# After two weeks, 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 dissolve these Bio-bonds.

# Post-procedure weight management (diet + aerobic exercise) is essential! Liposuction is not the ‘end’—rather, you should manage yourself even more diligently starting from the procedure to achieve dramatically satisfying results.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These can vary by individual, and caution is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the principle behind Liposound liposuction?

Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to liquefy fat. It helps to soften fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, allowing for effective aspiration even with a small cannula.

How long is the recovery period after a Liposound procedure?

Generally, swelling and bruising may occur for 1 week after the procedure, and after 2 weeks, a bio-bond phenomenon where the treated area feels tight and firm may appear. Although there are individual differences, the progress is usually monitored for about 1 month.

What are the post-management methods after Liposound liposuction?

Wearing a compression band and cold compresses are important for 1 week after the procedure. After 2 weeks, during the bio-bond phenomenon, warm compresses and stretching are helpful, and consistent weight management (diet, aerobic exercise) is also essential.

Does Liposound treatment also improve skin elasticity?

Yes, it is possible. Because Liposound emits ultrasound from beneath the dermis, you can additionally achieve skin elasticity and lifting effects along with fat aspiration.

Which areas can Liposound liposuction be applied to?

This post covers cases where Liposound treatment was applied to facial areas such as the anterior cheeks, double chin, and jawline for fat aspiration.

What side effects can occur after the procedure?

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry after surgery may vary depending on the individual, so caution is required.
