Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin)
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who achieved a sharp V-line and smaller face through LipoSound ultrasound liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Facial fat and jawline that did not improve despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# 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 small incisions, as it can be squeezed out or extracted using only a small cannula.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The blunt appearance has disappeared after jawline and double chin liposuction! How does the revived jawline look? Not only has the round U-shape been transformed into a sharp V-line, but the face itself also looks much smaller, doesn’t it?
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device 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-bond’ (post-operative adhesions) is also significantly reduced.
2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can achieve 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 depending on the individual, and caution is required.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ultrasonic liposuction remove fat?
Ultrasonic liposuction uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy subcutaneous fat, changing it from a solid state, like orange pulp, to a liquid state, like orange juice. This liquefied fat can then be gently suctioned out with only a small cannula, allowing for effective fat removal.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction gently removes fat by liquefying it, requiring less force during the procedure and thus causing less irritation. Therefore, it has the advantage of faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and less occurrence of bio-bond (adhesion).
Does ultrasonic liposuction also help with skin elasticity?
Yes, it can help. It is explained that ultrasonic liposuction irradiates ultrasound from under the dermis, which can additionally provide skin elasticity and lifting effects. Devices like Ulthera and Shurink also operate on the principle of ultrasound.
Which areas are primarily treated with ultrasonic liposuction?
This article explains that ultrasonic liposuction is mainly applied to remove fat from the jawline and double chin areas, resulting in a sharper V-line from a dull jawline and the effect of a smaller face.
How long is the recovery period after the procedure?
It is mentioned that ultrasonic liposuction, by liquefying and gently removing fat, causes less irritation than conventional liposuction, which can lead to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. The specific duration may vary individually.
