A non-surgical procedure that destroys fat cells in the double chin area to improve the jawline.
Overview
Deoxycholic acid or PPC/PCDC compounds are injected into the submental (double chin) area to destroy fat cell membranes, and the destroyed fat is naturally eliminated through the body's metabolic processes. As a non-surgical option for refining the jawline with minimal downtime, it is popular among those who want chin contouring without liposuction.
Mechanism
The injected lipolytic agent (deoxycholic acid or PPC) disrupts fat cell membranes in the submental region, causing cell lysis. The released lipids and cellular debris are processed by macrophages and transported via the lymphatic system to the liver for metabolic elimination. Multiple injection points ensure even distribution across the target area.
Effects
Reduction of submental fat, improved jawline definition, sharper chin contour, reduced double chin appearance, and permanent fat cell elimination with maintained weight.
Duration
2-6 sessions at 3-4 week intervals; results develop over 4-8 weeks per session and are permanent for destroyed cells
Recovery
Significant swelling for 3-7 days (most prominent in the first 48 hours). Bruising, tenderness, and firmness common. Ice packs and head elevation recommended. Social downtime of 3-5 days.
Side Effects
Significant swelling (expected), bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and temporary nodule formation. Rare risks include marginal mandibular nerve injury (asymmetric smile) and skin necrosis if injected too superficially.
Price Range
100,000-300,000 KRW per session
Target Audience
Those with submental fat (double chin) seeking non-surgical jawline improvement without the downtime of liposuction.
