Hello.
PIAF Clinic
I’m Lim Jin-young, the chief director.
“To get rid of a double chin,
shouldn’t I just remove the fat?”
If you were looking into
double chin liposuction
with that idea in mind,
I’d like to tell you
that it’s a big mistake.
A double chin does not happen
only because of fat,
but because of multiple complex causes,
such as the length of the chin,
sagging skin and muscles,
enlarged salivary glands, and more.

Different causes mean that
the approach to treatment
must also be different.
So in today’s post,
I’m going to cover the following:
✅ What is the cause of my double chin?
3 self-check methods
✅ 3 customized solutions by cause
✅ 1 thing to check
when choosing a clinic
If you focus for just 3 minutes
and read to the end,
you’ll learn what steps are needed
for a slimmer jawline,
and what kind of clinic you should visit
so you won’t regret it.

Double chin?
You must first identify the cause
for a reason
Don’t get it before reading this - PIAF Clinic
For example, let’s say there is
a woman in her 20s with a lot of fat on her chin.
Because she is young,
her skin contains many elastic fibers
such as collagen.
So even if the subcutaneous fat
under the chin is removed,
she can expect a slimmer jawline
without side effects such as sagging skin.
What if the skin lacks elasticity
and only the fat is removed?
The area where the fat is removed
will sag downward by that amount.

That’s because the subcutaneous fat
that had been supporting the skin tightly
is gone.
The result? The jawline may
actually look more saggy.
What about a woman in her 40s
with only a little fat but severe sagging
of the skin and muscles?
Rather than simply removing
subcutaneous fat,
a lifting or a facelift procedure
that also pulls up the stretched skin
and muscles may be needed.

As you can see,
for double chin liposuction,
it is essential to first understand
what caused the double chin
for each person.
3 simple self-check methods
Now I’ll share 3 self-check methods
you can try at home.
These are simple ways to figure out
the cause of a double chin,
so give them a try.
First, gently pinch the area under your chin
with your fingers.
If it feels like a lot of thick,
soft tissue can be grasped,
there is a high chance that
there is a lot of subcutaneous fat
under the chin.
In other words,
you can conclude that the cause
of the double chin is fat.

Second, lift your chin up
and check for vertical wrinkles
visible on your neck.
At this point, some people may notice
prominent long vertical lines.
These vertical lines are called
the platysma muscle (neck muscle),
and sagging of this muscle
can cause a double chin.
Third, while looking straight ahead,
check whether both sides under the chin
are symmetrically bulging outward.

Salivary glands are located under the chin.
This is where saliva is produced.
Sometimes these salivary glands
become enlarged.
Enlarged salivary glands can also
be a cause of a double chin.
Now I’m going to explain
3 customized solutions for each cause,
so please stay focused just a little longer.
3 customized solutions by cause
If the first self-check result
(applies to a fat problem)?
You may need double chin liposuction
that removes the required amount
of subcutaneous fat.

To briefly explain the procedure,
first, a thin tube
(a cannula)
is inserted into the area under the chin
where the fat has gathered.
At this point, a medication
that breaks down only fat cells
is injected as well.
Then, using the tube,
the broken-down subcutaneous fat
can be suctioned out and removed.
If the second self-check result
(applies to sagging skin and muscles)?
Some subcutaneous fat is removed,
and the sagging skin and muscles
can be lifted with a facelift procedure
and lifting.

This surgery is mainly needed
for people in their 30s to 40s and older,
that is, those with severe sagging
of the skin and muscles.
Lastly,
if the third result
(applies to a structurally short chin)?
A chin can be made slimmer
by adding dimension to the chin tip
with an implant.
This is an approach needed
for people with a so-called recessed chin.
1 thing you must check
when choosing a clinic

In fact, I have one piece of advice
for those searching for double chin liposuction.
“Visit a place that suggests
customized surgery for you.”

That may sound obvious.
But I’m saying this because
many people overlook it.
As explained above,
a double chin can arise
from a variety of causes.
Often, it is not just one cause,
but 2 or 3 factors intertwined.
What this means is,
before making an incision on the chin,
you need to carefully examine
the facial structure.

How much fat there is,
what the skin thickness is like,
whether the degree of muscle sagging is acceptable...
In addition, a process
that carefully designs even
how it will look after the bandage is removed
is necessary.
Only with this kind of preparation
can you later,
without major issues,
say goodbye to the double chin
that bothers you when you look in the mirror
or take photos.
So please visit at least 3 places
for consultations.

At first,
you may think,
“Do I really have to go this far?
This is a hassle...”
But after going around to different places,
you’ll begin to understand
what I meant.
A place that suggests
customized solutions through careful examination.
I’ll end the post hoping you find
such a clinic.

This has been Lim Jin-young,
Chief Director of PIAF Clinic.
Thank you.
