How to Get Contour Injections for Buccal Fat and Double Chin in Hongdae

Hello. I’m Dr. Jo Won-jin, and I have been practicing medicine for 10 years.

I got contour injections, but they didn’t work on my buccal fat

I got them for my double chin, but my face actually looks more saggy

When I see patients in the clinic who are concerned about buccal fat and double chins,

there are many cases where injections alone do not solve the problem.

If you undergo treatment without accurately understanding your facial fat density or skin elasticity,

the results may be poor, or your skin may become looser like a deflated balloon.

Today, to help you get treatment without failure,

under the topic of how to get contour injections for buccal fat and double chin in Hongdae,

I’ll clearly organize the three criteria you must check before treatment.

1. Check the density and sagging of the buccal fat first

When you are concerned about buccal fat, the first thing to look at is the density and location of the fat.

Unlike ordinary fat, buccal fat is very dense and sits firmly deep inside the face.

That is why it may not shrink easily just by getting injections.

First, look in the mirror and pinch the cheek fat next to the mouth with your hand.

If it feels firm and thick: it is likely the type of fat that can respond well to contour injections.

However, if there is a lot of fat, more sessions may be needed.

If it feels thin, like skin: then it is not fat, but sagging caused by reduced skin elasticity from aging.

If you try to reduce only the fat when the skin is already loose,

it may look even more saggy, like an empty bag with its contents removed.

In that case, you may need a lifting laser rather than injections, so you should get an accurate diagnosis from a doctor.

2. The causes of a double chin vary

People often say, “My face looks wide,” but the causes are completely different depending on the area.

If you confuse them, you may end up getting the wrong treatment.

Under the chin, it may be due to weight gain, but in some cases the cause is sagging skin.

There are also cases where skin elasticity needs improvement rather than fat-dissolving injections.

During consultation, the doctor should check by touching the area directly and assess both the skin quality and the amount of fat.

In cases with a double chin, there are quite a few where the fullness extends into the side cheeks as well.

If the area protrudes when you clench your teeth tightly, it may not be fat but the jaw muscle (square jaw) or swelling that makes the salivary glands look enlarged.

And there are many cases where a double chin and developed jaw muscles are present at the same time.

In such cases, combining contour injections and Botox appropriately is much better for improving the line of the face.

If the muscle is the problem, use Botox; if loose skin is the problem, use lifting procedures;

and if the real issue is fat, choose Hongdae contour injections.

What matters is identifying the cause accurately and treating accordingly.

3. When to handle it quickly vs. when to want semi-permanent effects

Lastly, consider the purpose of the treatment and its ingredients.

Hongdae contour injections are quick to perform and cause little swelling,

so they are a very good option when you need to refine your facial line urgently before a wedding shoot or an important interview.

But there is something to keep in mind.

The recipe of the medication mixed into contour injections differs from clinic to clinic.

Depending on which ingredients are used and how they are combined, the effect can vary dramatically.

Contour injections containing steroids can give a strong short-term effect, but they are not suitable for repeated treatments.

If you are planning multiple sessions, you should look for a place that “honestly mixes safe ingredients first” to avoid problems.

If you want to permanently eliminate the fat cells themselves,

Violet, which destroys fat cells without steroids, may be a better alternative.

From a patient’s perspective, it is not easy to choose a place that pays attention to details you cannot see.

I wrote about how to choose a good dermatology clinic in the article below.

Hongdae contour injections: a smart way to get them

Here is a summary of today’s content.

• Buccal fat check: if it is firm, injections are okay; if it is thin and sagging, lifting is needed
• Area-specific approach: depending on the cause, the treatment differs between jaw/salivary gland Botox, contour injections, and lifting procedures
• Check the ingredients: contour injections are good when you need quick results, but be sure to check whether the recipe is safe

Contour injections may look simple, but the results vary depending on who designs them and with what recipe.

Please carefully check the density and elasticity of your facial fat, and make sure the treatment uses safe ingredients.

Thank you. This was Jo Won-jin.
