How to Get Rid of a Double Chin? I’ve Had 10 Lifting Procedures, but If They Didn’t Work, Read This

Hello. I’m Lee Seong-jun, the head doctor at the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.

Even if you have few facial wrinkles and firm skin, having many wrinkles on the neck can make you look older.

Also, as you age, the jawline becomes less defined and the skin sags downward along with a double chin. This is another reason the face can look larger and older.

To improve these issues, many people inquire about V-neck lifting, which lifts from the jawline to the neck in one procedure.

I will explain the features of the procedure for getting rid of a double chin, the areas it can improve, and who it is recommended for.

Why does the face look larger as we age?

There are several factors behind the face looking puffy with age.

Among them, the natural aging process plays the biggest role.

The face and neck are constantly exposed to the external environment, so aging progresses faster than in other parts of the body.

Over time, skin elasticity decreases and sagging appears, blurring the facial contours and making the face look larger than before.

These signs of aging tend to appear simultaneously in the face and neck, and improving only one area makes it difficult to achieve overall harmony.

Liting’s V-neck lifting can lift the jawline to the neck in one procedure! V-neck lifting is an effective solution that can improve both the lower face and neck wrinkles at the same time.

Sagging chin fat and loosened neck wrinkles are 대표적인 signs of aging, and the advantage of V-neck lifting is that it can address them all at once.

Compared with a facelift, it involves less scarring and financial burden, which is why many people prefer it.

It is also a lifting procedure that can improve facial and neck aging at the same time while still delivering natural-looking results.

Why SMAS layer dissection is important

The SMAS layer is a fibromuscular layer located between the subcutaneous fat layer and the muscle layer, and it is a major cause of wrinkles and aging.

If you simply pull without properly dissecting the connective tissue between the skin layers, the tissue tends to return to its previous state, so the lifting effect is inevitably reduced.

That is why it is important to lift the SMAS layer and the skin surface at the same time.

At our clinic, double-chin muscle binding can create the effect of contouring surgery without shaving bone, and by binding the muscles within a stable range, it improves both the sagging line and neck wrinkles at the same time.

The following are cases in which double-chin muscle binding may be needed because the boundary between the neck and chin is unclear.

When facial shape has changed due to a rapid weight gain over a short period of time.

Conversely, when rapid weight loss has caused fat between the muscles and skin to sag over a short period of time.

Cases where a person naturally has a small chin or no chin, so the jawline is not clearly visible.

In addition, this procedure may be necessary after facial contouring surgery or other procedures that involve the facial skeleton, or when skin elasticity has decreased due to aging.

Because the causes vary from person to person, the procedure process is not uniform, so a careful pre-procedure consultation is essential.

Of course, the procedure process is important, but to reduce the risk of side effects and achieve satisfying results, it is essential to carry out the operation in a way that suits each individual.

If the skin is pulled and removed excessively, blood circulation can be affected and necrosis may occur, and the facial expression can become unnatural.
