VIBE Plastic Surgery’s Egg Face Line 3-Step Set!
Achieve a sharp jawline with VIBE's 3-step approach: Ultrasound Liposuction, Buccal Fat Removal, and Double Chin Muscle Tying for a defined, slim face.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Persistent double chin, jawline, and cheek fat despite consistent dieting
# Stressed because the jawline looks blunt from the side, making the neck appear short and resembling ‘turtle neck’ posture.
* Consultation
# The double chin area is composed of various layers as shown in the following diagram. Let’s look at each component in more detail:
A. Fat
1. The procedure commonly known as LipoSound liposuction targets the subcutaneous fat layer.
2. However, as you can see in the diagram, fat also exists beneath the platysma muscle (subplatysma fat, interplatysma fat, etc.). Since this is deep fat located under the muscle, it can never be reduced through suction alone. Therefore, cases where the area still looks bulgy or blunt after liposuction are often due to this type of fat. This fat must be removed by making an incision in the muscle and directly visualizing it!
B. Muscle
In some cases, the platysma muscle itself may be sagging. This can be congenital or a result of the natural aging process. In such cases, the muscle must be tightened firmly, much like wearing a ‘corset’, to create a tight line. This procedure is commonly called ‘double chin muscle tying’. Since this method has long been used in neck lifts, it is a proven and safe technique.
C. Conclusion
Therefore, if there is a significant amount of fat and the neck line itself is blunt, one must undergo ‘double chin muscle tying for sagging muscles along with liposuction’ to achieve a satisfying neck line.
* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)
# Buccal Fat Removal
# Double Chin Muscle Tying
As seen in the photos, the characteristics of fat vary depending on the location.
(Left) Subcutaneous fat melted into a juice-like liquid using LipoSound ultrasound energy.
(Center) Fat inside the platysma muscle in a granular form, like a bunch of grapes.
(Right) Buccal fat in a large, yolk-like mass.
Therefore, fat in different locations must be addressed with appropriate methods to complete a sharp jawline.
* Post-operative Progress
# The bluntness has disappeared thanks to double chin muscle tying and jawline/double chin liposuction! One of the most significant effects of muscle tying is that it creates a jawline that doesn’t fold even when looking down—just like folding a Galaxy Flip phone! Haha.
# ‘LipoSound’ is a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles (which look like orange pulp) into a juice-like state:
1. It is much smoother—fat can be squeezed out like water without applying much force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.
# Bio-bonds may form starting about two weeks after surgery, which can be uncomfortable. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching will help them resolve faster. We also provide injections to help dissolve them during the one-month follow-up, so please keep that in mind!
# Buccal fat is a large mass of fat located deep within the cheeks. If your cheeks look chubby as if you are holding candy in your mouth, buccal fat removal can be very effective!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Egg Faceline 3-item set procedure?
The Egg Faceline 3-item set is a procedure that refines the dull lower face by improving double chin, jawline, and buccal fat. It includes subcutaneous fat liposuction, deep fat removal under the muscle, double chin muscle tightening, and buccal fat removal.
Can a double chin be resolved with liposuction alone?
No, a double chin may not be resolved with liposuction alone. A double chin can occur due to deep fat under the platysma muscle or the sagging platysma muscle itself, in addition to subcutaneous fat, so muscle tightening may be needed along with liposuction.
What are the effects of double chin muscle tightening surgery?
Double chin muscle tightening surgery tightens the sagging platysma muscle like a corset, creating a taut jawline. It is particularly effective in preventing the double chin from folding when bowing the head.
How is Liposound liposuction different from general liposuction?
Liposound is a device that uses ultrasonic energy to liquefy fat. This allows for gentle fat aspiration, resulting in less bruising and swelling, faster recovery, less skin sagging, and an expected improvement in skin elasticity.
In what cases is buccal fat removal effective?
Buccal fat removal can be very effective for those who have chubby cheeks that look like they are holding candy. It improves the facial line by removing large fat pads deep inside the cheeks.
What should I do if biobond occurs after surgery?
Yes, biobond can occur about 2 weeks after surgery and may cause discomfort. Warm compresses and stretching can help, and you may receive an injection to release it at the one-month follow-up.
