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.

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.
