Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction (LipoSound) at VIBE Plastic Surgery.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent facial fat and undefined jawline despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be extracted easily through tiny openings, making it possible to remove fat very effectively using only a small cannula.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the video below first ^^
* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to 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 like orange pulp—into a juice-like consistency.
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-bonds (post-surgical adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can gain 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 ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat cells, much like turning orange segments into juice. This liquefied fat is then gently aspirated through a small cannula, allowing for effective fat removal.
How long is the recovery period after ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction gently liquefies and removes fat, resulting in less irritation compared to traditional liposuction, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Therefore, returning to daily life is relatively easy.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also help with skin elasticity?
Yes, it can help. During ultrasonic liposuction, the ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, which is said to provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
What is Liposound?
Liposound refers to a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. This device liquefies fat particles, like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, aiding in smooth and effective liposuction.
What are the main treatment areas for ultrasonic liposuction?
This procedure is primarily used to remove fat from the jawline and double chin areas. It is mentioned to be effective for improving facial fat and jawline that are difficult to reduce with diet alone.
