Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a defined jawline through ultrasound-assisted liposuction (LipoSound) to remove stubborn double chin fat.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# Using ultrasound, we can break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘orange juice’.) This allows the fat to be removed so effectively that it can almost be squeezed out through a tiny hole, and fat can be extracted using only a small cannula.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt look is gone 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 typically like orange pulp, into a juice-like state.
1. 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-bond’ (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can also achieve additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (You may know that 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, and results may vary by individual, so caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to gently emulsify subcutaneous fat into a liquid-like state for removal. Because fat particles, like orange segments, are liquefied into a juice-like consistency, they can be easily aspirated with a small cannula.
Is recovery from ultrasonic liposuction faster than traditional liposuction?
Yes, recovery from ultrasonic liposuction can be faster than traditional liposuction. Since fat is liquefied and gently aspirated, there is less irritation during the procedure, which can shorten recovery from bruising and swelling, and reduce the occurrence of bio-bond (adhesion).
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction can additionally provide skin elasticity improvement effects. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, it can help with skin elasticity and lifting, similar to ultrasonic lifting devices like Ulthera or Shurink.
Besides a double chin, what other areas can be improved with ultrasonic liposuction?
Beyond a double chin, ultrasonic liposuction is effective in improving fat along the jawline. It helps to remove the dullness of the jawline that is resistant to diet, creating a more defined jawline.
What precautions should be taken during ultrasonic liposuction?
During ultrasonic liposuction, complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry can occur, so caution is necessary. It is essential to consult thoroughly with a board-certified plastic surgeon before proceeding with the surgery.
