Quick answer

What are double chin injections?

Double chin injections use a lipolytic (fat-dissolving) solution, typically based on deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in Kybella, injected into the fat beneath the chin. It breaks down fat cell membranes, and the body gradually clears the fat, refining the jaw-to-neck angle.

The effect on treated fat is long-lasting as long as weight stays stable. It suits people in Seoul with moderate submental fat and reasonable skin elasticity; if loose skin is the main issue, the doctor may suggest tightening such as HIFU.

Your visit

How Double chin injections works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

  1. Consult & assessment

    The doctor checks fat volume, skin laxity and neck anatomy to confirm suitability.

  2. Grid marking & numbing

    A grid is marked under the chin and the area is cooled or numbed.

  3. Micro-injections

    Small amounts of lipolytic solution are injected into the fat layer across the grid.

  4. Aftercare

    Expect swelling for several days; a cold compress helps. Avoid massage and saunas for 2 days.

Before & after

How double chin injections refine the jawline

The solution breaks down fat cells under the chin, and as the body clears them the neck-to-jaw angle becomes sharper and cleaner.

Days 1–7

Swelling and tenderness under the chin.

Weeks 3–4

Clearer jawline after a series.

FAQ

Double chin injections questions

How much swelling should I expect?

Noticeable swelling under the chin for 3–7 days is normal, so avoid scheduling important photos immediately after.

How many sessions are needed?

Most people need 2–4 sessions depending on the amount of fat.

Is the result permanent?

Destroyed fat cells do not return, so results last if your weight stays stable.

Can it tighten loose skin?

Mild tightening can occur, but loose skin often needs HIFU or RF tightening as well.

Do foreigners pay more?

No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
