Songpa Lifting: Why the Treatment Differs Depending on the Fat Under the Chin and Facial Sagging

Songpa lifting,

why the treatment differs

depending on the fat under the chin

and facial sagging

If you are concerned about Songpa lifting, read this article to the end.

"I just want to reduce the fat under my chin a little."

"My face seems to have shifted downward compared with before."

During lifting consultations, we meet people who describe similar concerns about their jawlines.

Although these concerns may sound like the same facial-line issue, the actual causes can differ.

Some people have a substantial amount of volume under the chin, while others do not have much fat but have sagging cheeks and jawlines that make the lower face look heavy.

Some also experience reduced skin elasticity in addition to these concerns.

Therefore, rather than simply choosing a device because it is well known, it is important to distinguish whether there is a significant amount of fat under the chin, whether the cheeks and jawline are sagging, and whether skin elasticity has also decreased.

From now on, I will compare and explain when Onda, HIFU lifting, Ultherapy, and Thermage are recommended for concerns such as a double chin and a sagging face.

Songpa lifting

1. If the area under your chin is thick,

you may consider Onda lifting

Some people say that their face seems to be sagging, but the volume under their chin makes the boundary between the chin and neck look less distinct.

In such cases, rather than focusing only on tightening the skin, it is necessary to determine how much the volume under the chin is obscuring the facial line.

If the fat under the chin is determined to be the cause of the double chin, Onda lifting may be recommended.

Onda uses microwave energy to deliver heat to the subcutaneous fat layer and is used to manage localized fat concerns in areas such as under the chin.

How Onda lifting works

In simple terms, it may be considered when the area under the chin is thick and obscures the jawline, rather than when the entire face has sagged downward.

Conversely, if there is not much fat under the chin but the skin around the cheeks and mouth has shifted downward, it may be difficult to achieve the desired change through fat management alone.

In that case, HIFU lifting may be considered after determining the degree to which the facial tissues have descended.

2. If your cheeks and jawline have shifted downward,

consider HIFU lifting

Some people say that their lower face looks particularly heavy even though they do not have much fat under the chin.

For these individuals, it is necessary to distinguish whether the facial boundary has become less defined because the cheeks and jawline have shifted downward, rather than because of volume under the chin.

If the issue is determined to be sagging caused by loss of elasticity in the SMAS layer, the deeper layer beneath the skin, I would like to recommend HIFU lifting.

How HIFU works

HIFU concentrates focused ultrasound energy at a specific depth beneath the skin to create thermal coagulation points.

Ultherapy Prime is a representative HIFU lifting device that uses microfocused ultrasound to view the tissues beneath the skin through ultrasound imaging.

Therefore, if the main concern is sagging cheeks and a downward-shifted jawline, its treatment objective differs from that of Onda, which manages fat.

If these concerns are grouped together as the same type of lifting without distinguishing whether the area under the chin is thick or whether the cheek fat has shifted downward, the results may differ from what was expected.

3. If skin elasticity has also decreased,

Ultherapy and Thermage may be combined

Some people initially talk only about facial sagging during a consultation, but upon listening more closely, they also say that their skin feels thinner and less firm than before.

In such cases, it is necessary to assess both the sagging of the facial tissues and the decrease in skin elasticity.

Thermage FLX

While Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to create thermal coagulation points at a specific depth beneath the skin,

Thermage is a device that delivers heat to the skin tissue using radiofrequency energy.

Therefore, if reduced skin elasticity accompanies concerns about sagging cheeks and a downward-shifted jawline, a combination of Ultherapy and Thermage—often referred to as a combined Ultherapy and Thermage treatment—may be considered.

On the other hand, if fat under the chin is the primary concern, Onda may be selected; if sagging of the cheeks and jawline is more pronounced, HIFU lifting may be selected. The choice differs according to the cause of the concern.

Check your current condition first before choosing a lifting device.

If you are looking into Songpa lifting, you do not have to compare device names alone.

Rather than applying one device in the same way to every face, it is necessary to identify and explain what is currently making your jawline less distinct.

1. Whether the area under the chin is thick

2. Whether the cheeks and jawline have shifted downward

3. Whether skin elasticity has also decreased

Distinguishing these three factors can make it clearer which lifting treatment you should consult about. ^^
