The Importance of the Line from Nose to Chin! Rhinoplasty for Low Bridge & Double Chin Liposuction (LipoSound)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Primary Concerns:

1. Low nasal bridge and blunt nasal tip.

2. Desires to resolve the dull appearance of the lower face caused by double chin fat and a sagging jawline.

* Consultation

1. After long deliberation, she decided to undergo rhinoplasty due to her concerns about her low and blunt nose.

2. 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 squeezed out through a tiny opening or removed using only a small cannula, making the extraction highly effective.

* Surgical Plan

# Nasal Bridge Surgery

- Augmentation (Implant)

- Osteotomy

# Nasal Tip Surgery

- Bulbous nose correction

- Columellar lengthening (Columellar pull-out)

# LipoSound Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)

Selfie 2 months after surgery

* Post-operative Progress

1. During the post-operative follow-up, the patient expressed great satisfaction as the nasolabial angle was improved and the blunt, low nose was corrected into a sharp, sophisticated shape.

2. ‘LipoSound’ can be understood 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 the ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and additional skin elasticity and tightening effects can be achieved.

# About two weeks after surgery, you may experience discomfort due to the formation of bio-bonds. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching can help them resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve these during the one-month follow-up!

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