Hello, this is Woori Plastic Surgery.
Some people are concerned that their face looks larger or that their jawline appears less defined even though they have not gained much weight.
In particular, many people feel that their cheek fat or double chin remains even after dieting.
Because the location and amount of fat accumulation vary by area of the face, the cause may differ even when the concern is generally described as excess facial fat.
Today, we will look at the areas where facial fat mainly accumulates and the situations in which facial fat-dissolving injections may be considered.
Where Does Facial Fat Accumulate?
Facial fat does not accumulate in just one area.
It commonly accumulates in areas such as the deep cheek, cheeks, jawline, and double chin.
Depending on the individual, the area below the cheekbones may look fuller, or fat beneath the chin may make the boundary between the face and neck appear less defined.
In addition, as facial fat increases, the face may look wider from the front, or the jawline may appear less defined in profile.
Therefore, when analyzing facial contours, it is important to first identify the areas where fat is concentrated.
What Changes Can Occur
When There Is More Deep Cheek Fat?
Deep cheek fat refers to fat located deep inside the cheek.
When fat in this area is more developed, the face may look round and heavy.
In particular, even people who are not significantly overweight may appear to have a larger face than they actually do when they have more deep cheek fat.
Therefore, if the facial contours look heavy or the cheeks seem full, it is advisable to also check the condition of the deep cheek area.
The Jawline and Double Chin Are Also
Affected by Fat
Facial fat can also affect the jawline.
When fat beneath the chin increases, the boundary between the face and neck becomes less distinct, and the double chin may appear more pronounced.
In addition, as the jawline loses definition, the face may look wider or appear less refined.
In such cases, it is important to analyze the current fat distribution together with the condition of the skin and establish an appropriate plan.
How Do Facial Fat-Dissolving Injections
Work?
Slim Fit injections, a facial fat-dissolving injection treatment, work by acting on the cell membranes surrounding fat cells to break them down.
They use the principle of osmotic pressure to destroy fat cell membranes and help the broken-down fat be eliminated through the body's metabolism.
As a treatment intended to reduce the number of fat cells, it is often considered by people seeking to improve their facial contours.
Managing Fat Reduction and Skin Firmness Together
With facial fat-dissolving injections, skin firmness can also be considered alongside fat reduction.
This is because the desired facial contours may not appear if the skin does not have sufficient firmness after fat is reduced.
Slim Fit injections are designed to help support collagen production, so they are often considered with the improvement of a double chin and jawline, as well as the maintenance of skin firmness.
People Who Commonly Inquire About This Treatment
✔ People whose faces look heavy because of deep cheek fat
✔ People with an indistinct boundary between the chin and neck
✔ People concerned about a double chin
✔ People whose faces look larger because of excess facial fat
✔ People who find liposuction burdensome and are considering an injection treatment
✔ People who want to manage both skin firmness and facial contours
Facial fat accumulates in different areas from person to person, including the deep cheek area, jawline, and double chin.
Therefore, when planning facial fat-dissolving injections, rather than approaching the issue simply because there is a lot of facial fat, it is necessary to accurately assess the current fat distribution and skin condition.
If you are concerned about your facial contours, we recommend first identifying which areas of fat are contributing to the concern and then establishing a plan that is appropriate for you.
