I lost 5 kg through dieting,
so why is my double chin still the same?
Even when I combine exercise and a diet that others recommend, the stubborn fat under the chin that does not disappear can only lead to stress.

Why a double chin does not go away even after losing weight
Is a double chin simply
a matter of fat?
But if the jawline remains sagging even after achieving your weight-loss goal, it is more likely an issue of 'skin elasticity' and 'retaining ligaments' rather than fat.

In particular, the area under the chin is directly affected by gravity. When the support that holds up the skin weakens due to aging or rapid weight changes, the jawline becomes blurred and the boundary between the face and neck becomes less distinct.
Simply losing weight by starving yourself has limitations when it comes to pulling this loosened tissue back up. That is why improving a double chin must involve not just reducing volume, but also redesigning the internal elasticity.
The Ulthera principle that corrects the core of skin elasticity
When this happens, the first solution that comes to mind for me is Ulthera. Ulthera uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to deliver energy directly to the deep SMAS layer without damaging the surface of the skin.
It works by creating tiny thermal coagulation points inside the skin to contract loosened tissue. It is easy to understand if you think of it as inducing, deep within the skin, the same tightening and shrinking effect you see when you grill squid over fire.

If the treatment is performed uniformly without considering the angle of the jawline and the connection to the neck line, it may cause hollow cheeks or unsatisfactory results. That is why we make it a rule to directly check the skin layers through real-time ultrasound imaging and deliver shots accurately at the most appropriate depth.
When precise handling is added, only then can a natural-looking, firmly defined jawline be expected. We believe that the process of carefully examining even the invisible areas is what makes the difference in results.
How to maintain a smooth jawline for a long time
After the procedure, the body needs time to recover collagen on its own. Usually, over one to three months rather than immediately after the procedure, you may gradually notice the jawline becoming more refined.
During this period, it is good to follow a few lifestyle habits.
| First |
|---|
| Adequate hydration |
| Since this is a time when skin recovery is actively taking place, paying special attention to moisturizing so that internal dryness does not occur can help improve the efficiency of recovery. |
| Second |
|---|
| Avoid sudden temperature changes |
| Right after the procedure, very hot saunas or strenuous exercise may cause the heat energy delivered inside the skin to become an excessive stimulus, so caution for about one week is recommended. |
| Third |
|---|
| Correct forward head posture is necessary |
| A posture in which the head is bent forward weakens the muscles under the chin and accelerates sagging. Simply stretching regularly to open up the neck and shoulder line can go a long way toward maintaining an improved jawline. |
