VIBE’s Jawline Trio: Amazing Results! (LipoSound + Double Chin Muscle Tying + Buccal Fat Removal)

* Basic Information

# Female in her 30s

# Persistent double chin, jawline, and cheek fat despite consistent dieting

# Stressed by a blunt jawline from the side view, which makes the neck look short and creates a ‘turtle neck’ appearance.

* Consultation

# The double chin area consists of various layers as shown in the following diagram. Let’s look at each component in more detail:

A. Fat

1. The surgery 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 can never be reduced through liposuction alone. If the area still looks bulky or blunt after liposuction, it is likely due to this type of fat. This fat must be removed by making an incision in the muscle and directly visualizing it!

B. Muscle

In some cases, the platysma muscle itself is sagging. This can be congenital or a result of the natural aging process. In such cases, the muscle must be tightened firmly, like wearing a ‘corset,’ to create a tight line! This procedure is commonly called ‘Double Chin Muscle Tying.’ Since this method has long been used in neck lifts, you can trust its proven effectiveness and safety.

# Therefore, if there is a large amount of fat and the neck line itself is blunt, ‘Double Chin Muscle Tying’ for the sagging muscle must be performed alongside ‘Liposuction’ to achieve a satisfying neck line.

# Using LipoSound, subcutaneous fat can be finely broken down (from orange-like granules into juice-like liquid). This allows the fat to be squeezed out through small openings and removed very effectively using only a small cannula.

* Plan

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double Chin & Jawline)

# Buccal Fat Removal

# Double Chin Muscle Tying

* Fat Removed During Surgery

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

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

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

(Right) Buccal fat is in a large mass, similar to an egg yolk.

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

* Post-operative Progress

# The blunt feeling has disappeared through Double Chin Muscle Tying and Jawline/Double Chin Liposuction! One of the most important effects of the muscle tying procedure is that it creates a jawline that doesn’t fold even when looking down! Just like folding a Galaxy Flip phone!

# ‘LipoSound’ can be thought of as equipment that uses ultrasound to emulsify fat. Because it liquefies fat particles—which are like orange granules—into a juice-like state:

1. It is much smoother; fat can be squeezed out like water without applying great force, and it can be suctioned with just a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling, and 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.

# You may feel uncomfortable due to bio-bonds starting about 2 weeks after surgery. In such cases, applying warm compresses and stretching will help them resolve faster. Please note that we also provide softening injections during the one-month check-up!

# Buccal fat is a large mass of fat located deep within the cheeks. If you are curious about buccal fat removal, you can view the surgical methods and results at the link below.

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a plastic surgery specialist!
