VIBE's Jawline Triple Set: Amazing Results! (LipoSound + Double Chin Muscle Tightening + Buccal Fat Removal)

* Basic Information

# Female, 30s

# Persistent double chin, undefined jawline, and chubby cheeks despite consistent dieting.

# Stressed because when viewed from the side, the jawline appears blunt, making the neck look short and like a ‘turtle neck’.

* Consultation

# The double chin area consists of various layers, as shown in the following diagram. Let's take a closer look at each component ~

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 absolutely cannot be reduced by liposuction. Therefore, if it still looks bulky or remains blunt after liposuction, it’s likely due to this type of fat! This fat must be removed by making an incision in the muscle, retracting it, and directly removing it under visual guidance!

B. Muscle

Sometimes, the platysma muscle itself can be sagging. This can be congenital or a result of the aging process. In such cases, the muscle itself must be tightened, much like wearing a ‘corset’, to create a taut line! This procedure is often referred to as ‘double chin muscle tightening’. Since this method has traditionally been used for neck lifts, you can consider it a proven method in terms of effectiveness and safety.

# Therefore, if there is a large amount of fat and the neck line itself is blunt, ‘double chin muscle tightening in conjunction with liposuction for sagging muscles’ must also be performed to achieve a satisfactory neck line.

# LipoSound can effectively break down subcutaneous fat (from orange segments to orange juice-like pulp). This allows it to be squeezed out through a small opening, and fat can be removed very effectively even with only a small cannula.

* Plan

# Ultrasonic liposuction (double chin & jawline)

# Buccal fat removal

# Double chin muscle tightening

* Fat removed during surgery

As you can see in the photos, the characteristics of the fat differ depending on its location.

(Left) Subcutaneous fat melted using LipoSound's ultrasonic energy is in a juice-like liquid form.

(Middle) Fat inside the platysma muscle is in a granular form, like a bunch of grapes.

(Right) Buccal fat is a large, lumpy mass, like an egg yolk.

Therefore, to achieve a sharp jawline, fat in different locations must be addressed with appropriate methods.

* Post-operative progress

# The blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to double chin muscle tightening and jawline & double chin liposuction! One of the most significant effects of double chin muscle tightening surgery, in particular, seems to be the ability to create a jawline that doesn't fold when you tuck your chin, much like a Galaxy Flip phone! Haha!

# ‘LipoSound’ can be thought of as equipment that emulsifies fat using ultrasound. It liquefies fat particles, like orange segments, into a juice-like consistency, so:

1. It's much smoother – you can squeeze out fat like water without applying much force, and it can be aspirated with just a small cannula. Therefore, there's much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, bio-bond (post-surgical adhesion) is also significantly reduced.2. Since ultrasound is applied beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity & tightening effects can be achieved.

# You may experience discomfort due to bio-bond forming about 2 weeks after surgery. In such cases, warm compresses and stretching can help it resolve faster. We also offer injections to help release it during your one-month follow-up, so please keep that in mind!

# Buccal fat is a large mass of fat located deep inside the cheeks. If you're curious about buccal fat removal, you can find information on the surgical method and results in the link below. ^^

Consultation and surgery should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the effects of a double chin muscle tying surgery?

Yes, double chin muscle tying surgery tightens the sagging platysma muscle like a corset, creating a taut jawline. In particular, you can expect the effect of the double chin not folding when you lower your chin, and it is a method that has been used in neck lifts, proving its effectiveness and safety.

How is LipoSound liposuction different from general liposuction?

LipoSound is a method that uses ultrasonic energy to emulsify subcutaneous fat into a liquid-like state and then remove it. It can remove fat much more gently than general liposuction, resulting in less irritation, faster recovery from bruising and swelling, less skin sagging after surgery, and improved elasticity.

Are there cases where double chin muscle tying and liposuction should be done together?

Yes, if there is a large amount of fat and the neck line itself is blunt, you need to perform double chin muscle tying for the sagging muscles along with liposuction to achieve a satisfactory neck line. This is because deep fat under the muscle is difficult to remove by liposuction.

What should I do if biobond forms after surgery?

Biobond may form about 2 weeks after surgery, causing discomfort. In this case, warm compresses and stretching help it resolve quickly, and we may administer an injection to help it resolve at the one-month follow-up.

What are the characteristics of buccal fat?

Buccal fat is a large mass of fat located deep inside the cheeks. It has a large, egg-yolk-like lump shape and has different characteristics from subcutaneous fat or fat inside the muscles, so it must be removed using appropriate methods for a sharp jawline.
