Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a sharp jawline and smaller face through ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent facial fat and undefined jawline 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 the fat liquid enough to be squeezed out or removed using only a very small cannula, allowing for highly effective fat removal.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look is gone thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction! Now that the jawline is defined, what do you think? Not only is the jawline sharp, but the entire face looks smaller, doesn’t it?
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘juice’—it offers several benefits:
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. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ultherapy, 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 depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasound to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat. It transforms fat particles, similar to orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, allowing them to be effectively squeezed or suctioned out with a small cannula.
What kind of equipment is LipoSound?
LipoSound is equipment that emulsifies fat using ultrasound. It helps to liquefy fat particles for gentle removal and enables the use of small cannulas, reducing irritation during the procedure.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction liquefies and gently removes fat, resulting in less irritation than traditional liposuction, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, the occurrence of bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) is reduced.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction emits ultrasound waves beneath the dermis, which can additionally provide skin elasticity and lifting effects. You can expect similar effects to devices that use ultrasonic principles, such as Ulthera and Shurink.
Which areas are primarily treated with ultrasonic liposuction?
This article primarily explains that ultrasonic liposuction is effectively applied to the jawline and double chin areas to eliminate a dull appearance and create a sharp jawline.
