Ultrasound Liposuction (Jawline, Double Chin)
A case study of a female in her 20s who achieved a sharp jawline and smaller face through ultrasound-assisted liposuction.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent facial fat and undefined jawline despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# Using ultrasound allows us to break down subcutaneous fat into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into orange juice.) This makes it possible to literally squeeze the fat out through tiny openings, and because the fat can be removed using only a small cannula, the procedure is highly effective.

* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, blunt look has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction! How does the revived jawline look to you? Not only is the jawline incredibly sharp, but the entire face appears smaller, doesn’t it?
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Since it liquefies fat particles—turning them from something like orange pulp into juice—it offers several benefits:
1. Much smoother process: Fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned 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 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 ultrasound to break down and liquefy subcutaneous fat for removal. It transforms fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a smooth, liquid state like juice, allowing for effective suction even with a small cannula.
What are the advantages of ultrasonic liposuction?
Ultrasonic liposuction gently liquefies and removes fat, requiring less force during the procedure and thus causing less irritation. This leads to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and less bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) formation.
Does ultrasonic liposuction also improve skin elasticity?
Yes, ultrasonic liposuction can additionally provide skin elasticity and lifting effects. Because ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, it helps improve skin elasticity using a similar principle to Ultherapy and Shurink.
What equipment is used for ultrasonic liposuction?
The text explains that a device called 'Liposound' is used to emulsify fat with ultrasound. This device plays a role in liquefying fat particles, which are like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency.
How long is the recovery period after surgery?
The text mentions that ultrasonic liposuction leads to faster recovery from bruising and swelling compared to conventional liposuction. The exact recovery period varies by individual, so it is best to consult with a specialist to confirm.
