Double Chin Liposuction with Dr. Hong – Expert Body Contouring Across Gangnam, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Myeongdong, Hongdae and All of Seoul

Sharper jawline. Cleaner neck profile.

Double chin liposuction removes stubborn submental fat and refines the jawline–chin–neck triangle. With careful, multi-plane sculpting, Dr. Hong creates definition from every angle—front view, 45°, and profile—so your lower face looks lighter and more youthful.

Why patients choose Dr. Hong for double chin lipo

  • Precision mapping: Targets central submental fat and lateral pockets along the jawline for balanced definition.
  • Tiny, hidden access points: Usually under the chin or behind the earlobes, placed to be discreet.
  • Smooth surface control: Feathered passes to avoid banding, ridges, or “over-hollowing.”
  • Harmony with facial lines: Considers chin projection, mandibular angle, and neck contour for natural results.
  • Revision experience: Options for touch-ups if you’ve had prior lipo or uneven fullness after other treatments.

Ideal candidates

  • Pinchable fat under the chin that persists despite diet/exercise
  • Good skin elasticity (or willingness to combine with tightening options if mild laxity exists)
  • Stable weight and realistic expectations (lipo sculpts; it doesn’t change bone structure)
  • Non-smoker or able to pause smoking around surgery for optimal healing
If moderate to severe skin laxity or weak chin projection is present, Dr. Hong may discuss adjunct skin tightening or chin augmentation for best overall definition.

How the procedure works

  1. Consultation & design — Assessment in multiple angles; marking central and lateral fat compartments and key borders (hyoid–mandible line).
  2. Anesthesia — Local with light sedation is common; general anesthesia in select cases.
  3. Micro-access & sculpting — One to three tiny entry points; controlled cannula passes remove fat evenly in superficial and deeper planes.
  4. Edge blending — Feathering along the jawline, submandibular region, and upper neck to prevent step-offs.
  5. Compression — A chin/neck garment is applied immediately to support the new contour.

Recovery timeline (typical)

  • Days 1–3: Fullness/tightness, mild bruising; keep the compression garment on as directed.
  • Week 1: Swelling improves; most people return to desk work.
  • Week 2–3: Bruising largely gone; definition starts to show in photos.
  • Weeks 4–6: Majority of swelling resolved; garment typically reduced to nights only (as instructed).
  • 3–6 months: Final refinement as tissues settle and skin retracts.

Timelines vary by individual healing and volume removed.

Results you can expect

  • Reduced submental bulge and cleaner cervico-mental angle
  • More defined jawline without a harsh or “over-done” look
  • Neck that appears longer and lighter in profile photos
  • Better fit with hairstyles and collars; makeup contours more crisply

Aftercare essentials

  • Compression garment as directed to control swelling and protect contour
  • Head elevation for the first few nights; avoid heavy lifting initially
  • Gentle neck movement (no aggressive turning/stretching early on)
  • Incision care & sun protection so tiny access points fade well
  • Maintain stable weight to preserve definition

Risks & how we minimize them

Potential risks include asymmetry, surface irregularities, prolonged swelling, numbness, contour bands, or infection. Dr. Hong minimizes risk with conservative removal, multi-plane feathering, careful hemostasis, and close follow-up. Minor variances that appear as swelling resolves can often be addressed with targeted touch-ups.

Double chin lipo vs. non-surgical vs. chin implants

  • Double chin liposuction: Immediate fat removal and shape control; best for true fat fullness.
  • Non-surgical fat reduction: Helpful for small pockets; less precise, typically multiple sessions.
  • Chin implant/augmentation: For skeletal retrusion; often considered when profile lacks projection—can be combined in select cases.

Frequently asked questions

Will it fix neck bands (platysmal bands)?
Lipo targets fat, not muscle bands. If bands are present, additional treatments may be discussed.

Are the scars visible?
Entry points are tiny and hidden; they usually fade and are hard to find over time.

When can I be on camera again?
Light swelling is common for 1–2 weeks. Many patients feel camera-ready with makeup by the end of week 1–2.

Do results last?
Removed fat cells don’t return; large weight changes can still affect the area. Stable lifestyle = stable results.
