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.
