Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline & Double Chin)
A case study of a male patient in his 20s who achieved a sharper jawline through LipoSound ultrasound liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Male in his 20s
# Relatively small and short chin
# Concerned about a double chin that looks slightly voluminous, though not severe.
* Consultation
# Although there isn’t a massive amount of double chin fat, the patient wanted to refine his jawline. While he wasn’t expecting a ‘dramatic’ transformation, he visited the clinic hoping for even a slight improvement.
# 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 a tiny opening, and because fat can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

* Plan
# LipoSound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy feeling is gone 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—which are normally 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-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 is ultrasonic liposuction performed?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasound to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat, which is then gently suctioned out with a small cannula. It transforms fat particles, like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency for removal.
What are the main advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
The main advantages are that it gently removes fat, resulting in less irritation during the procedure and faster recovery from bruising or swelling. Additionally, as ultrasound works beneath the dermis, it can provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
Is it effective for improving the jawline and double chin?
Yes, it is effective. By removing fat from the jawline and double chin, it can help improve a dull appearance and create a sharper, smoother jawline.
Can I expect skin elasticity improvement after the procedure?
Yes, you can expect it. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, you can achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects, similar to treatments like Ulthera and Shurink.
Which medical staff performs the procedure?
The procedure is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Yu Young-moon, the head director of Vibe Plastic Surgery, conducts consultations and surgeries based on his extensive experience.
