Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction (Cheekbones, Front Cheeks, Jawline)
A case study of a woman in her 20s who achieved a smoother facial contour using LipoSound ultrasound-assisted liposuction on the cheekbones, front cheeks, and jawline.
* Basic Information
# Female in her 20s
# Goal: To improve an uneven facial contour
* 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 extracted easily through tiny openings, making it possible to remove fat very effectively using only a small cannula.
# If you are curious about how liposuction is performed at VIBE Plastic Surgery, please watch the YouTube video below first ^^
* Plan
# Ultrasound Liposuction (Zygoma/Side Cheekbones, Front Cheeks & Jawline)
* Post-operative Progress
# The uneven facial lines appear much more organized after liposuction of the side cheekbones, front cheeks, and jawline.
# In the case of the side cheekbones, the fat volume is often low because the bone itself is protruding. However, by melting the fat with ultrasound, it is sometimes possible to remove fat smoothly without leaving irregularities. (Note: This is not always effective for everyone!)
Principles of LipoSound
# ‘LipoSound’ can be thought of 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. Therefore, there is much less irritation, leading to faster recovery from bruising and swelling. Consequently, ‘bio-bonds’ (post-operative adhesions) are also significantly reduced. 2. Since ultrasound is emitted beneath the dermis, you can gain additional skin elasticity and lifting effects. (You may know that devices like Ulthera, Shurink, and Doublo Gold all operate on ultrasound principles.)
Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
VIBE that comes from rich experience.
