Quick answer
What is a double chin and how is it reduced?
A double chin is fullness under the jaw caused by submental fat, loose skin, or both; genetics and jaw shape play a role as well as weight. Non-surgical treatment combines fat-dissolving injections to reduce fat cells with HIFU or radiofrequency to tighten the overlying skin.
At our Seoul clinic in Myeongdong the doctor first checks how much is fat and how much is laxity. Read more about double chin injections, which are often the first step.

FAQ
Double chin questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 2–4 injection sessions about 2–4 weeks apart. If your stay is short, HIFU can be added for faster tightening.
Is the swelling noticeable?
Yes, there is usually visible swelling for 2–5 days after injections, so plan sightseeing and photos accordingly.
Can a double chin come back?
Treated fat cells do not return, but remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain. Keeping a stable weight preserves the result.
Is HIFU alone enough?
HIFU helps when the main issue is loose skin and mild fat. For a fuller double chin, injections are usually needed too.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
