Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction after struggling with stubborn facial fat.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn facial fat and jawline that did not improve despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# Using ultrasound allows us to break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This makes it possible to literally squeeze the fat out through tiny openings, and because fat can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It liquefies fat particles—similar to 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 very small cannula. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. This also significantly reduces ‘bio-bonds’ (post-surgical adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is emitted directly beneath the dermis, you can achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ulthera, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound 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
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses the 'LipoSound' device to liquefy fat with ultrasound. It helps to make fat particles, which are like orange segments, smooth like juice, allowing them to be easily suctioned out even with a small cannula.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction liquefies and gently removes fat, causing less irritation than traditional liposuction, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, there is less adhesion (bio-bond) after surgery, and you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
Can ultrasonic liposuction improve the jawline and double chin?
Yes, it can. Ultrasonic liposuction can effectively remove unnecessary fat from the jawline and double chin, improving a dull appearance and helping to create a sharper and smoother jawline.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity after surgery?
Yes, it does. Ultrasound works beneath the dermis to help increase skin elasticity. This allows for additional lifting effects, similar to other ultrasound-based procedures like Ultherapy and Shurink.
What are the possible side effects after surgery?
Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery. These side effects can vary from person to person, so it is important to confirm precautions through thorough consultation before surgery.
