LipoSound Liposuction
A case study of a female patient in her 20s who underwent LipoSound ultrasonic liposuction for stubborn double chin fat, achieving a defined jawline.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Stubborn double chin fat that persists despite consistent dieting
* Consultation
# By 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 removed effectively through a tiny opening, even with a small cannula, as it becomes liquid enough to be squeezed out.
# Since the patient had a significantly receding chin, chin filler was also recommended to be performed together.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the video below first ^^
* Plan
# LipoSound Ultrasonic Liposuction (Double Chin)
* Post-operative Progress
# The heavy, dull appearance has disappeared thanks to the jawline and double chin liposuction!
The Principles of LipoSound
# ‘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. Much smoother process – Fat can be squeezed out like water without applying great 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. This also results in significantly less ‘bio-bond’ (post-operative adhesions).
2. Since 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, bio-bonds may form, which can feel uncomfortable. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching will help them resolve faster. Please note that we also provide injections to help dissolve these bonds during the one-month follow-up!
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
