Slim, Define, and Sharpen—Customized Plans for the Chin & Neck

A double chin can come from excess fat, loose skin, a weak chin, or a combination. At UE Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, our female board-certified facial specialist maps fat, skin, muscle, and bone to design a natural, camera-ready profile—from non-surgical options to precise surgical contouring.

Who’s a Good Candidate

• Submental fullness in photos or side profile
• Blurred jawline or short chin-to-neck angle
• Mild to moderate skin laxity or early bands
• Healthy skin and realistic expectations (staged plans may be best)

Why Patients Choose Us

• Structure-first planning (fat • skin • muscle • bone)
• Minimal-downtime non-surgical options available
• Hijab-friendly privacy & female clinical staff options
• English-speaking concierge for international patients

Causes We Evaluate

• Fat: submental/paramedian pockets
• Skin laxity: reduced elasticity after weight change/aging
• Muscle: platysmal banding or pull
• Skeletal support: microgenia/retrognathia shortening the angle

Non-Surgical Treatments

• HIFU/Ultrasound Lift: tightens SMAS for crisper angle
• RF Microneedling: firms skin and improves texture
• Deoxycholic Acid Fat-Dissolving Injections: targets localized fat (series-based)
• Laser Tightening/Toning: surface polish + pore refinement
• LDM Ultrasound (add-on): calms swelling, speeds recovery

Surgical & Procedural Options

• Submental Liposuction (Microcannula): precise fat removal; quick contour change
• Neck Lift/Platysmaplasty: for bands or advanced laxity
• Chin Implant or Sliding Genioplasty: improves projection/support when bone is weak
• Hybrid Plans: small-volume lipo + HIFU/RF for skin, for a refined finish

What to Expect at Your Visit

• Assessment: fat distribution, skin recoil, muscle tone, bone projection (photo map)
• Session Time: 20–60 min for non-surgical; surgical varies by plan
• Comfort: topical/local anesthesia for clinic procedures; sedation/GA for surgery
• Downtime: none to 48 hrs for non-surgical; surgical plans discussed in detail

Results & Timeline

• Non-surgical: early tightening/deflation with peak at 6–12 weeks; often 1–3 sessions
• Liposuction: visible improvement in 1–2 weeks, refinement up to 3 months
• Maintenance: yearly for devices; surgical results are long-lasting with weight stability

Aftercare

• SPF 50+ daily; avoid saunas/heavy workouts 24–48 hrs post clinic treatments
• Compression/garment and head elevation after lipo as directed
• Pause strong actives 2–3 nights if reactive
• Report unusual pain, hard lumps, or color changes immediately

Combination Plans for Best Harmony

• Masseter Botox for V-line slimming (when muscle bulk dominates)
• Jawline/Chin Filler (micro-vol): structural balance without overfilling
• Skin Boosters/PN/Exosomes: smooth, hydrated surface finish
• Neck skin programs: lasers or RF for crepe-resistant texture

Safety & Suitability

• Not for pregnancy, active infection, or recent isotretinoin (device/injection days)
• Fitzpatrick-aware parameters to lower PIH risk
• Performed by a board-certified facial specialist using sterile, single-use materials

FAQs

How do I know if I need fat removal or skin tightening?
Your consult includes ultrasound-guided mapping and a physical exam to separate fat vs laxity vs muscle vs bone contributors.

Will injections tighten skin too?
Fat-dissolvers reduce volume; we often add HIFU/RF for tightening and a cleaner angle.

Can I return to work the next day?
Most device/injection patients do; liposuction may need a few recovery days.
