Double Chin Reduction

Overview

Double chin is caused by a combination of subcutaneous fat accumulation, decreased skin elasticity, and skeletal structure. Fat dissolving injections reduce fat volume, lifting treatments and RF improve skin elasticity, and Botox (platysma) may be added as needed for comprehensive jawline refinement. A personalized combination approach addresses the multiple contributing factors.

Mechanism

Multiple treatment modalities address different aspects: lipolytic injections destroy submental fat cells; RF or HIFU devices stimulate collagen for skin tightening; Botox relaxes the platysma muscle to reduce downward pull on the jawline. The combined approach treats fat, skin laxity, and muscle dynamics simultaneously for comprehensive double chin reduction.

Effects

Submental fat reduction, improved jawline definition, tighter chin and neck skin, reduced platysma bands, overall lower face contouring, and more defined facial profile.

Duration

Varies by combination: injection sessions 3-5 times at 3-4 week intervals; lifting treatments 1-3 sessions; Botox every 3-6 months; full program typically 2-4 months

Recovery

Varies by treatment component. Injection: swelling for 3-7 days. RF/HIFU: mild redness for a few hours. Botox: no downtime. Overall social downtime of 3-5 days when injection component is included.

Side Effects

Swelling and bruising from injections, mild redness from energy devices, and temporary muscle weakness from Botox. Side effects vary by treatment combination. Comprehensive consultation is recommended to plan the optimal approach.

Price Range

200,000-500,000 KRW per session (varies by treatment combination)

Target Audience

Those with double chin caused by fat, skin laxity, or both, those seeking comprehensive non-surgical jawline improvement, and those wanting a customized multi-treatment approach.
