Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin) + Thread Lift

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Medical History: Multiple previous thread lifts

* Consultation

# The patient wanted to refine the lines around the corners of her mouth and under the chin. The plan was to use ultrasound to smoothly organize localized fat deposits without creating irregularities.

# Using ultrasound allows for the breaking down of subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) This makes it possible to remove fat effectively through small incisions or even by squeezing it out, using only a small cannula.

# To prevent potential sagging after fat removal, we decided to perform a thread lift around the mouth and nasolabial areas simultaneously.

* Plan

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)

# Thread Lift (Silhouette Soft: Corners of the mouth, upper nasolabial area)

* Post-operative Progress

# The blunt appearance has disappeared due to the jawline and double chin liposuction, resulting in a well-defined contour.

# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as equipment 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 significant 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 Ultherapy, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound principles.)

# Even with the same type of thread, the results can be completely different depending on the design and the vector of insertion. Whether the goal is simply to pull upward or to sculpt a specific jawline, the medical team’s extensive experience and personalized design are crucial!

# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft and Mint’ as lifting materials. By appropriately combining these two types of threads, we not only achieve a definitive lift but also induce collagen synthesis from within. After 2 to 3 months, patients can feel their skin becoming firmer and more resilient!

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 ultrasound to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat, which is then effectively removed with a small cannula. This method makes the fat soft like water before suction, resulting in less irritation and faster recovery.

What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?

Yes, there are several advantages. Ultrasonic liposuction liquefies fat for gentle removal, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and less bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion). Additionally, as ultrasound works beneath the dermis, it can provide additional benefits such as improved skin elasticity and lifting effects.

Which areas can be improved with this procedure?

It is primarily used to refine and improve fat in the jawline and double chin areas. In the post, ultrasonic liposuction was planned to refine the lines around the mouth and under the chin, and to improve localized fat deposits.

What threads are used for thread lifting?

The post mentions that Silhouette Soft and Mint threads are mainly used. With an appropriate combination of these two threads, you can expect a definite lifting effect along with collagen synthesis to improve skin elasticity.

What are the advantages of combining liposuction and thread lifting?

Thread lifting is performed concurrently to counteract potential sagging that may occur after liposuction. This helps to create a more defined jawline, achieve both skin elasticity and lifting effects simultaneously, and improve overall facial contours.

Is the medical team's experience important for thread lifting?

Yes, it is very important. Even with the same threads, the results can be completely different depending on how they are designed and in which direction they are inserted. The medical team's extensive experience and customized design for each individual are essential for satisfactory results.
