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).
* 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 it possible to literally squeeze the fat out through tiny openings, and since the fat can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the jawline & double chin liposuction!
The Principles of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—like turning orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:
1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying excessive 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 the ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, it provides 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 after surgery. These vary by individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the principle of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction is a procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat, allowing for gentle removal. It liquefies fat particles, which are like orange pulp, into a juice-like consistency, making aspiration easier.
What are the features of the LipoSound device?
LipoSound is a device that emulsifies fat using ultrasound. It liquefies fat into a water-like consistency, allowing for aspiration even with small cannulas, which reduces irritation during the procedure and helps speed up recovery from bruising and swelling.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, it does. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, it is explained that additional skin elasticity and lifting effects can be achieved. This is similar to ultrasonic principle devices like Ulthera and Shurink.
Which areas of fat can be removed with ultrasonic liposuction?
The text explains that ultrasonic liposuction can effectively remove unnecessary fat from the jawline and double chin. It is particularly helpful in improving a dull appearance.
Is the recovery from ultrasonic liposuction fast?
Yes, it is relatively fast. It is mentioned that because fat is liquefied and gently aspirated with a small cannula, there is less irritation during the procedure, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) is also reduced.
Who is ultrasonic liposuction suitable for?
The text mentions the case of a woman in her 20s who has consistently dieted but is concerned about stubborn facial fat and her jawline. It may be suitable for those who want to improve a dull jawline.
