Double Chin Liposuction + Muscle Tightening

A female patient in her 40s with a very short chin, close to a lack of chin, visited the clinic. Patients with short chins tend to develop a more prominent double chin as they age due to the accumulation of fat under the chin, which leads to sagging. In this case, not only is there simple fat accumulation, but the platysma muscle beneath the chin also loosens or sags, making the double chin more noticeable.

For this patient’s treatment, the key approach to improving the double chin was the tightening of the platysma muscle, which was securely fixed to prevent further loosening. Additionally, 60cc of excessive fat was removed through liposuction to contour the area under the chin and effectively improve the double chin. After the surgery, the repositioning of the platysma muscle and the removal of fat resulted in a clearer jawline, revealing a more natural and smooth facial contour.

This patient is a woman in her early 20s who visited our clinic seeking improvement for her double chin. Due to the excess fat accumulated under the chin, her double chin appeared more prominent, particularly in areas where fat was concentrated. To address this issue, she underwent double chin liposuction combined with double chin muscle tightening surgery.

During the procedure, a total of 110cc of fat was removed to drastically eliminate the excess fat under the chin. Special attention was given to the fat clusters around the upper and lower platysma, which were delicately removed to effectively improve the double chin. Since fat removal was the main focus, removing only the fat could cause the platysma to sag, so a platysma resection and repositioning were performed to minimize skin sagging and naturally define the jawline. As a result, the double chin was eliminated, and the previously short jawline became visibly longer, giving her a more refined and well-defined facial contour.

A female patient in her 20s visited the clinic for improvement of her prominent double chin, which developed after chin surgery performed five years ago. 

During the chin surgery, the bone was resected and moved, and as a result, the soft tissues were either not fixed or shifted, often leading to the appearance of a double chin.

In such cases, it is important to readjust the remaining soft tissues and fat layers and appropriately reposition them after the bone surgery. In this surgery, the remaining soft tissues were dissected and repositioned, and 50cc of fat was removed, improving the double chin. Post-surgery, the previously prominent double chin in the chin area was effectively improved.

This 20-year-old female had a sagging platysma and noticeable double chin, which was a concern for her, especially because the double chin was noticeable even from the front due to the sagging muscle. She had an excess of fat in the double chin area and a weak chin line due to muscle sagging, which led to a collapsed jawline for her age. 

She underwent liposuction of 55cc of fat and the removal of clustered fat attached to the platysma. The surgery used IKNOWU's transparent suturing technique for the incision under the chin, eliminating the need for stitches and ensuring minimal scarring. Post-surgery, the double chin line improved dramatically, and the jawline became more defined, with the improvement being especially noticeable from the side.

A 20-year-old female with asymmetrical double chin and a BMI of 17 (underweight) sought improvement for her chin line. Despite her low weight, she had micrognathia and lacked support for the muscles around her double chin. 

A total of 40cc of fat was removed, and the sagging platysma was cut and sutured to help reposition the muscles. This approach significantly reduced the double chin and enhanced the slim jawline.

This 10-year-old female patient with an adenoid face shape and a BMI of 26 had thick skin and severe micrognathia. Patients with adenoid faces often have a muscle-based double chin, requiring a different approach than typical fat removal surgery. 

Fat and muscle layers were carefully separated, and the third fat layer under the muscle was removed. The platysma was reduced to be lifted upwards. A total of 102cc of fat was removed, and after surgery, the boundary between the chin and neck became clearer, improving the jawline.

This patient in her 20s had been receiving contour injections but opted for surgery due to slow results. With a BMI of 23, she had significant fat in her double chin and clustered fat under the platysma muscle.

The surgery involved removing 70cc of fat from the double chin and performing muscle tightening to restore elasticity to the sagging muscles. The key focus was removing the clustered fat beneath the platysma. After one month, both the sagging skin and excess fat were improved, resulting in a sharp and more defined appearance.

A patient visited our clinic to improve their blunt jawline. They had a slightly small mandible with excess fat, making them a good candidate for liposuction and double chin muscle tightening.

A total of 55cc of fat was removed from the double chin and lateral cheek areas. Since the patient’s chin was relatively small, a submental incision was made to carefully remove excess fat around the platysma. The left and right platysma muscles were then tightly sutured to provide better support for the mandible. After surgery, the neck and jawline became more defined, creating a sharper and more elegant neckline.
