Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline using LipoSound ultrasound liposuction to remove stubborn double chin fat.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists 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 expressed through tiny openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the procedure highly effective.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt, heavy look has disappeared thanks to the 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. Much smoother ~ Since the fat can be expressed like water without applying significant force, it can be suctioned out using only a small cannula. This results in much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, there is also significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions). 2. Because ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can also 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
What is ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction is a procedure that uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy subcutaneous fat before aspirating it. Especially when using LipoSound equipment, fat particles are softened, allowing for effective removal even with a small cannula.
How does LipoSound equipment remove fat?
LipoSound is a device that emulsifies fat using ultrasound. It liquefies fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, allowing them to be gently squeezed out like water or aspirated with a small cannula without applying much force.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction has the advantage of gentle fat removal, resulting in less irritation and faster recovery from bruising or swelling. Additionally, there is less occurrence of bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion), and ultrasonic energy can also provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, it does. During ultrasonic liposuction, ultrasound is applied from beneath the dermis, which can provide additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. This principle is similar to the ultrasound used in dermatological procedures like Ulthera and Shurink.
Which areas can be improved with ultrasonic liposuction?
This article primarily explains the effects of ultrasonic liposuction through examples of jawline and double chin fat removal. Ultrasonic energy can effectively improve the dull appearance of a double chin and jawline.
How long is the recovery period after surgery?
This article does not specify a concrete recovery period. However, it mentions that ultrasonic liposuction involves gentle fat removal with less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising or swelling.
