Ultrasound (LipoSound) Liposuction
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through LipoSound ultrasound liposuction for stubborn double chin fat.
* 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 tiny openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the procedure highly effective.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principles 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. This results in 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, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.
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 is Liposound liposuction?
Liposound liposuction is a procedure that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat before suctioning it out. Fat particles, like orange segments, are liquefied into a juice-like consistency, allowing for gentle removal even with a small cannula.
What are the advantages of Liposound liposuction?
Liposound liposuction offers several advantages. It allows for gentle removal of fat, similar to squeezing water, resulting in less irritation and faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, it minimizes skin sagging and provides additional benefits of skin elasticity and tightening effects.
How long is the recovery period after a Liposound procedure?
Recovery after a Liposound procedure is faster than traditional liposuction. Because ultrasound emulsifies fat, allowing for suction with a small cannula, there is less irritation, and recovery from bruising and swelling progresses quickly.
Can Liposound liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, it can. Liposound applies ultrasound beneath the dermis, which minimizes skin sagging after the procedure and additionally provides skin elasticity and tightening effects.
Which areas can Liposound liposuction be applied to?
This blog post demonstrates that Liposound can be applied to areas such as the double chin and jawline through case studies of liposuction in these areas.
Who performs the Liposound procedure?
It is recommended to consult with and undergo Liposound procedures from a board-certified plastic surgeon. It is advised to have the procedure performed by a specialist with extensive experience.
