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
# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This allows the fat to be removed effectively through tiny incisions, as it can be extracted 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 heavy, blunt appearance has disappeared 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—similar to orange pulp—into a juice-like state.
1. It is much smoother – fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned through a very small cannula. Consequently, there is less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces ‘bio-bonds’ (post-surgical adhesions). 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, it provides additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ultherapy and Shurink also 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, varying by individual, and require caution.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat, which is then gently suctioned out through a small cannula. It liquefies fat particles, similar to orange pulp becoming juice, making removal easier.
What is Liposound?
Liposound is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. It helps to liquefy fat particles so they can be squeezed out like water or suctioned with a small cannula without applying great force.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction gently removes liquefied fat, resulting in less irritation and faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Additionally, it reduces the occurrence of bio-bonds (post-surgical adhesions) and can provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
How long is the recovery period after jawline liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction is described as causing less irritation than conventional liposuction because it gently removes liquefied fat, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. The specific duration may vary by individual.
Can ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, it can. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, it is said to provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. It utilizes the same ultrasonic principles as treatments like Ultherapy and Shurink.
