Versatile Uses of LipoSound: Resolving Unevenness After Fat Grafting

* Basic Information

# Female in her 20s

# Uneven forehead surface following a fat graft at another clinic one year ago

* Consultation

# The patient visited our clinic complaining of an uneven forehead contour after receiving a fat graft elsewhere a year ago.

# While it is not easy to uniformly remove grafted fat, we planned to use LipoSound to melt the fat and remove it as smoothly as possible. We decided that if the patient felt the forehead volume was insufficient afterward, we would consider a secondary fat graft at that time.

# Since the forehead is home to many fine blood vessels and nerves, the procedure must be performed with extreme care to avoid any damage!

# Using ultrasound, subcutaneous fat can be broken down into fine particles. (Think of it as turning orange pulp into liquid orange juice.) This allows the fat to be squeezed out through a tiny opening or removed using a very small cannula, making the removal process highly effective.

* Plan

# Ultrasonic Liposuction (Forehead)

* Post-operative Progress

# The unevenly settled fat in the forehead has been removed, resulting in a much smoother contour!

The Principle of LipoSound

# ‘LipoSound’ can be understood as a device that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—turning ‘orange pulp’ into ‘juice’—it offers several benefits:

1. It is much gentler. Fat can be squeezed out like water without applying significant force, and it can be suctioned using only a very small cannula. Consequently, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. It also significantly reduces ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since the ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, there is less skin sagging after the procedure, and you can achieve additional skin elasticity and tightening effects.

# The versatile applications of LipoSound! When grafted fat is unsatisfactory or causes issues, LipoSound can be used to remove it smoothly.

Always seek consultation and surgery from a board-certified plastic surgeon!
