Ultrasound Liposuction & Silhouette Lifting

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting

# Thin skin with sagging in the jowl area; desires simultaneous correction.

* Consultation

# By using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning ‘orange pulps’ into ‘orange juice’.) This allows the fat to be removed effectively through a tiny cannula, as it can practically be squeezed out through a small opening.

# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the YouTube video below first ^^

# For the sagging in the jowl area, we decided to refine the line using a thread lift with Silhouette Soft.

* Plan

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double chin & Jawline & Front cheeks)

# Thread Lift (Jowl area)

* Post-operative Progress

# The blunt appearance has disappeared thanks to ultrasound liposuction, and the jawline now looks well-defined.

# ‘LipoSound’ can be thought of as 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. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces ‘bio-bonds’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can gain additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (As you may know, devices like Ulthera, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound principles.)

# Even with the same type of thread, the results can be completely different depending on the design and the vector of insertion. Whether the goal is simply to pull upward or to sculpt a specific jawline, the medical team’s extensive experience and personalized design are crucial!

# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft’ as a lifting material. When used correctly, it not only provides a lift but also induces collagen synthesis from within. After 2 to 3 months, patients can feel their skin becoming firmer and more resilient!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!

VIBE that comes from rich experience.
