Double Chin Removal Surgery: Redefining the Boundary Between Face and Neck > Plastic Surgery

"I've lost weight, but why is my double chin still there?"

This is a question I hear very often in my office.

The reason a double chin remains even after weight loss isn't solely due to the amount of fat.

It's because the elasticity of the skin and fascia weakens, and the skin sags, blurring the lines between the chin and neck.

At this point, no matter how much you exercise or diet, you won't see much visible change.

That's why double chin removal surgery has become a way to correct these structural changes and restore the face's contours.

What's especially important is re-establishing the connecting line between the face and neck, rather than just getting rid of chin fat.

Today, I'll explain how this surgery works and where its natural-looking results come from.

​

The Structure of a Double Chin

Many people think it's due to weight gain, but double chins often start with an imbalance in the structure rather than just fat.

When the fascia loosens and fat accumulates on top of it, the jawline collapses and the face looks dull.

These changes can come early, especially if you spend a lot of time looking at your smartphone, tilting your head down, or resting your chin on your hand.

This area has thin and thick layers of fat, making it easy to lose balance.

Double chin removal surgery is a process of restoring this balance.

Therefore, instead of simply reducing chin fat, you need to adjust the location and depth of removal.

The results will remain natural for a long time if you carefully refine the fat under the skin without damaging the elasticity of the fascia.

In the end, what matters is not how much you remove, but how you handle it.

​

"Is it better to remove as much double chin fat as possible?"

I hear this question almost every day.

However, simply removing a lot of fat doesn't guarantee good results.

Over-aggressive liposuction can remove the fat that supports the skin, causing it to sag even more.

That's why we prioritize the 'shape and location' of the fat over the amount.

We leave what's needed and carefully refine only the unnecessary parts to restore the lines.

This delicate approach helps the skin contract on its own and reduces imbalances or pulling.

As a result, the outcome is natural yet defined, giving the face a more refined appearance.

​

The Key to Reviving the Jawline: Proportion

Double chin removal surgery doesn't just address the fat layer; it also adjusts the flow of the fascial layer.

By carefully performing liposuction under the chin and along the sides of the jawline, the overall balance of the face becomes smoother.

Adjusting the depth of the fat removal can also prevent the skin from wrinkling or hollowing.

In this process, we use fine cannulas to evenly refine the chin fat, leaving a slight volume where needed.

This softens the facial contours and creates a smooth transition to the neckline.

Immediately after surgery, a compression bandage is worn to control swelling, and the lines gradually become more defined as the tissues settle.

Ultimately, what matters is not the 'amount removed' but the 'proportion achieved'.

When this proportion is achieved, the face becomes much more defined and firm.

​

How to Reduce the Worry of Sagging

What I consider important in double chin removal surgery is preventing loss of elasticity while removing fat.

Sagging is naturally prevented by designing the surgery to allow the skin and fascia to contract together without removing too much fat.

Gradually, blood flow recovers, the skin slowly tightens, and the lines naturally form.

During this period, sufficient rest and compression management are needed rather than excessive movement.

Many patients say, "My chin feels lighter, but there's no tightness."

That's because we've delicately adjusted the depth and proportion of the layers rather than just the amount of fat.

In the end, this surgery can be seen as a 'process of refining without causing sagging' rather than simply 'reducing'.

​

"Will a double chin reappear if I gain weight again?"

This is a question many people have.

The fat cells removed by liposuction usually don't grow back, but the remaining cells can enlarge if overall body weight increases.

Therefore, 'maintenance' is important after surgery.

You don't need special care, but paying a little attention to your posture and habits can make a big difference.

Resting your chin on your hand or tilting your head down for long periods are major causes of a blurred jawline.

Reducing these habits will make the results last much longer.

In other words, surgery is the beginning, and maintenance is completed in everyday life.

​

Double chin removal surgery is a process of reorganizing the lower structure of the face to restore its original lines.

It's important to handle it delicately, only as much as needed, and to design it so that the parts that need to be left are left intact to naturally maintain elasticity.

Therefore, there is no excessive tightness after surgery, and facial expressions are maintained naturally.

As swelling subsides and the lines become clearer over time, the overall impression becomes brighter.

The moment you regain confidence as you see a clearer jawline in the mirror, the inner transformation is completed along with the facial contours.

In the end, this surgery is not about 'creating change' but about 'reclaiming your own facial lines'.

It's a small change, but it contains a great meaning of restoring oneself.

I hope today's story has been a small help to those who are struggling with double chins.
