Thread Lifting (Double Chin, Nasolabial Folds) + LipoSound (Double Chin, Nasolabial Fat)

* Basic Information

# Male in his 30s

# Stubborn double chin fat despite consistent dieting

# Gradual sagging and drooping due to loss of skin elasticity

* Consultation

# By 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 small openings or removed using a very small cannula, making the extraction highly effective.

# Since liposuction alone cannot resolve skin sagging, we planned to perform a lifting procedure simultaneously.

* Plan

# Ultrasound Liposuction (Double chin & nasolabial areas)

# Thread Lifting (Double chin & nasolabial areas)

* Post-operative Progress

# The bluntness has disappeared thanks to ultrasound liposuction, and the facial lines now appear well-defined.

# ‘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 great force, and it can be suctioned using only a small cannula. This results in less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘bio-bonds’ (post-surgical adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Since the ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, it provides additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (You may know that devices like Ultherapy, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound principles.)

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

# I primarily use ‘Silhouette Soft and Mint’ as lifting materials. The proper combination of these two threads not only provides a definitive lift but also induces collagen synthesis from within, allowing patients to feel their skin becoming firmer and more elastic after 2 to 3 months!

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

Complications and side effects such as bleeding, inflammation, infection, and asymmetry may occur after surgery depending on the individual, and caution is required.
