Ultrasonic Facial Liposuction (Zygoma, Jawline, Double Chin)
A case study of a female in her 20s who achieved a refined jawline and reduced facial fat through ultrasonic liposuction using LipoSound technology.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent facial fat and jawline issues 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 tiny openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the procedure highly effective.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the video below first ^^
* Plan
# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Lateral Zygoma, Double Chin, and Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance disappeared after jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles, which are typically like orange pulp, into a juice-like consistency.
1. Much smoother – Fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces ‘bio-bonds’ (post-operative 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!

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of procedure is ultrasonic liposuction?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction is a procedure that uses ultrasound to break down subcutaneous fat into small pieces and liquefy it, then effectively removes it with a small cannula. It makes fat, which is like orange pulp, smooth like juice and then suctions it out.
Which areas of the face can be treated?
Yes, this procedure can primarily be applied to remove fat from facial areas such as the side cheekbones, jawline, and double chin. It helps resolve concerns about facial fat that is difficult to lose with diet.
What is LipoSound equipment?
LipoSound is equipment that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It helps liquefy fat particles for smooth suction and allows the use of small cannulas, reducing irritation.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction has the advantage of faster recovery, with less bruising and swelling, because it liquefies and gently removes fat. Additionally, by applying ultrasound beneath the dermis, it can also provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
How long is the recovery period after the procedure?
Recovery after the procedure varies by individual, but because ultrasound is used to gently remove fat, there is less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Bio-bond (adhesion) also occurs less frequently.
