Double-Chin Fat Removal: Comparing Newviju Double-Chin Injections and V-Olet

Were you concerned that your chin looked folded when you looked in the mirror or took photos?

If the fat did not actually disappear even after receiving Ulthera or InMode treatments for double-chin fat removal, Newviju or V-Olet, which directly target fat cells, may be the answer.

If you are concerned about a double chin, read today's post for just 10 minutes and you may find the answer to which treatment you should receive.

Hello. I am Lim Jin-young, Director of PIAF Clinic.

Recently, many people have been visiting PIAF Clinic because of double chins. Since the area beneath the chin is one of the most difficult areas to reduce, no matter how hard you diet, many people look for fat-dissolving injections that directly target the fat.

I would like to answer the questions many people ask before undergoing treatment.

Why do people look for fat-dissolving injections instead of expensive lifting or laser treatments?

People who have gone on a tour of lifting laser treatments costing hundreds of thousands of won at dermatology clinics to remove double-chin fat will know. Even after spending the money, the thick “volume” beneath the chin remains almost strangely unchanged. The specific reason the treatment was ineffective is that the target was incorrect.

Ulthera is a high-intensity ultrasound device that contracts sagging skin. Since it tightens the fascial layer, it is difficult to directly reduce the fat even after paying a high price if the fat mass itself is thick.

InMode may also be less effective when the double-chin fat is too firm or there is a large amount of fat, because the energy may not be delivered properly.

Injection treatments act more directly on double-chin fat removal because they directly break down the fat-cell membranes.

Newviju vs. V-Olet: Which One Should You Choose?

The two most frequently compared options are V-Olet and Newviju. Both products work through the same mechanism of directly destroying fat cells, but there is one difference.

It is pain and downtime.

V-Olet (deoxycholic acid/DCA): As the first product approved in Korea, it has a powerful effect, but it has a significant drawback. As the cells break down, the neck can become extremely swollen and heavy, like a “bullfrog,” for more than a week, with prolonged soreness. This was a major barrier for office workers and people with busy daily schedules.

Newviju (cholic acid): This is the world's first injection containing cholic acid, newly launched by Medytox. While maintaining its ability to destroy cells, it is designed with a pH similar to that of substances in the human body, so pain, swelling, and downtime are relatively limited.

This is also why many people choose Newviju: it offers relatively less pain, allows them to return to work right away, and is intended to produce results quickly.

How to Receive Newviju Treatment for Proper Results

There are often cases in which people visit our plastic surgery clinic again after receiving inexpensive double-chin fat removal injections at a nearby high-volume dermatology clinic. It is unfortunate to see such cases.

Even if a treatment is highly effective, when it is performed in less than five minutes, 1) it can be difficult to verify that the product is genuine and that the correct dosage was used, and 2) if injections are placed roughly by estimation rather than measured with a ruler, the perceived effect of double-chin fat removal may be reduced.

If you want to achieve proper results, check whether the clinic follows at least these three practices.

• Whether it draws guidelines before proceeding

• Whether it has anatomical knowledge

• Whether it adjusts the treatment to the type of double chin

1. Does the clinic draw guidelines before proceeding?

Newviju is a chemical fat-removal injection that dissolves fat-cell membranes. Since fat is destroyed mainly around the area where the medication is injected, injecting roughly based on estimation can cause some areas to become deeply hollow while fat remains in others, resulting in an uneven appearance beneath the chin.

To avoid this situation, the medical professional should examine the patient's distribution of double-chin fat by touch and draw precise guidelines, known as a grid, at 1-cm intervals. This allows the dosage to be injected accurately and evenly.

2. Does the provider have anatomical knowledge?

Numerous blood vessels, salivary glands, and nerves responsible for lip movement pass beneath the chin. If the injection is made into an unintended muscle or nerve layer rather than the fat layer, complications such as nerve paralysis and asymmetry of the lips may occur.

Although the cholic acid in this medication is a safe ingredient, the provider's level of expertise is also important. Therefore, it is advisable to receive treatment from a medical professional who has a thorough understanding of the overall anatomical structure and can inject the proper amount precisely and safely into only the subcutaneous fat layer.

3. Is the treatment tailored to the type of double chin?

The causes of a double chin vary from person to person. Some people have a large amount of fat alone, while others have a bulge caused by enlarged salivary glands beneath the chin. Since there are various types, the treatment approach should differ as well.

Avoid clinics that recommend receiving a large amount of Newviju unconditionally. A truly skilled dermatology clinic reduces volume with Newviju and, when necessary, combines it with salivary-gland Botox or lifting treatments such as Ulthera to improve firmness when treating double-chin fat.

As a plastic surgeon, I help with double-chin fat removal through direct consultations and treatments based on anatomical knowledge. I carefully examine each person's facial structure, explain in detail how the treatment will be designed and performed, and make it a principle to use only genuine products in the proper dosage.

If you have been looking into double-chin fat removal, check the differences between Newviju and V-Olet. You may be more satisfied if you receive treatment at a clinic that meets these criteria.
