Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline using LipoSound ultrasound liposuction to remove stubborn facial fat.
* 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 squeezed out through tiny openings and removed using only a small cannula, making the procedure highly effective.

* Plan
# LipoSound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt appearance has vanished thanks to jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principle 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 state.
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-operative adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can 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 after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses devices like LipoSound to liquefy fat with ultrasonic energy. It helps to soften fat particles, which are like orange granules, into a juice-like consistency, making them easy to aspirate even with a small cannula.
How long is the recovery period after ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction removes fat by gently liquefying it, resulting in less irritation during the procedure. Therefore, recovery from bruising and swelling is faster compared to conventional liposuction, and the occurrence of bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) is also less common.
Does ultrasonic liposuction for the jawline also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction can also be expected to improve skin elasticity. It is explained that because ultrasonic energy is applied beneath the dermis, additional benefits of increased skin elasticity and a lifting effect can be obtained.
Which areas are primarily treated with ultrasonic liposuction?
This procedure is primarily applied to remove fat from the jawline and double chin areas. It is introduced as effective for improving facial fat and jawline that are difficult to reduce with diet alone.
What are the advantages of LipoSound liposuction?
LipoSound liposuction gently removes fat by liquefying it, resulting in less irritation during the procedure and faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, it has the advantages of less bio-bond and the added benefits of skin elasticity and lifting effects due to the ultrasound.
