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

Sharper jawline, cleaner neck angle—precision you can see

Neck liposuction (submental lipo) removes stubborn fat beneath the chin and along the jawline to refine the jaw–chin–neck triangle. With careful, multi-plane sculpting, Dr. Hong creates definition from every angle—front view, three-quarter, and profile—so the lower face looks lighter and more youthful.

Why patients choose Dr. Hong for neck lipo

  • Balanced design: Targets central “double-chin” fat and lateral jawline pockets for even definition.
  • Tiny, hidden entry points: Typically under the chin and/or behind the earlobes for discreet healing.
  • Feathered, natural finish: Blends borders at the jawline and upper neck to avoid steps or banding.
  • Safety-first protocols: Conservative volume control, meticulous technique, and close follow-up.
  • Revision experience: Options for touch-ups if you’ve had prior treatment elsewhere.

Who’s a good candidate?

  • Pinchable submental fat that persists despite diet/exercise
  • Good to moderate skin elasticity (adjunct tightening may be discussed if laxity is present)
  • Stable weight and realistic goals—lipo sculpts shape; it isn’t a substitute for weight loss
  • Non-smoker or willing to pause around surgery for healing
If you have weak chin projection or prominent platysmal (neck) bands, Dr. Hong may discuss complementary options for best overall definition.

What areas are treated?

  • Central submental fat (under the chin)
  • Lateral jawline fullness (along the mandible)
  • Upper neck blending to sharpen the cervico-mental angle

How the procedure works

  1. Consultation & mapping – Multi-angle assessment; marking central and lateral compartments and key borders.
  2. Anesthesia – Commonly local with light sedation; 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 and upper neck to prevent ridges.
  5. Compression – A chin/neck garment is applied immediately to support the new contour.

Recovery timeline (typical)

  • Days 1–3: Tight/full feeling, mild bruising; wear compression as directed.
  • Week 1: Swelling improves; many return to desk work.
  • Weeks 2–3: Bruising largely gone; definition shows in photos.
  • Weeks 4–6: Majority of swelling down; garment often reduced to nights only (as instructed).
  • 3–6 months: Final refinement as tissues settle and skin retracts.
    Timelines vary by individual healing and treatment scope.

Results you can expect

  • Reduced double-chin bulge
  • Clearer jawline and sharper cervico-mental angle
  • Neck that appears longer and lighter in profile
  • More confident appearance on camera and in fitted collars

Aftercare essentials

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

Risks & how we minimize them

Possible risks: asymmetry, surface irregularities, prolonged swelling, temporary numbness, contour bands, seroma, or infection. Dr. Hong reduces 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.

Neck lipo vs. non-surgical vs. chin implants

  • Neck liposuction: Immediate fat removal and precise shape control—best for true fat fullness.
  • Non-surgical fat reduction: Helpful for very small pockets; less precise; usually multiple sessions.
  • Chin implant/augmentation: Addresses skeletal retrusion; sometimes combined when projection is limited.

Frequently asked questions

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

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

When can I be social or on camera again?
Most patients feel presentable by 1–2 weeks with makeup; mild swelling can persist longer but is usually subtle.

Do results last?
Fat cells removed do not return; significant weight changes can still affect the area. Stable lifestyle = stable results.
