Double Chin Removal Surgery: Essential Things to Know Before the Procedure, Explained by a Specialist

Hello, I’m Lee Seong-joon, the chief director at REETING Plastic Surgery Seoul Branch.

A double chin is one of the 대표적인 elements that make a person look older than they really are, and it is sometimes called a sign of aging.

As people enter middle age, decreased facial muscle elasticity can cause fat to accumulate under the chin and become saggy.

Because it occurs as fat cells and muscles age, it is characterized by not going away even after weight loss.

Today, I’d like to introduce double chin removal surgery, which can help improve these concerns by removing the fat and loose skin that have accumulated under the chin.

What is V-neck lifting?

The first procedure I’d like to introduce is V-neck lifting, which is recommended for people who need double chin surgery but feel that a facelift is too burdensome.

It is a method that focuses on lifting the lower face to remove sagging chin fat and also improve enlarged neck wrinkles.

It is characterized by a natural result because it reduces the sense of imbalance that can occur when only the face is improved and the neck wrinkles remain different.

If you need a strong improvement but are looking for a less burdensome option, V-neck lifting may be the answer.

What is the key to V-neck lifting?

The key to V-neck lifting is that it improves the line of the lower face and neck wrinkles at the same time, and that it dissects the SMAS layer.

The SMAS layer is a fibromuscular layer located below the subcutaneous fat layer and above the fascial layer, and it serves as a fundamental cause of wrinkles that develop with aging.

If only the outer side is pulled up without dissecting this layer, the force of the SMAS layer trying to return to its original position will reduce satisfaction with the double chin surgery.

At our clinic, we address this issue by removing the connection of the SMAS layer and lifting the skin surface at the same time.

What is a facelift?

The second method I’d like to introduce is a facelift.

A facelift pulls up skin that has lost elasticity due to aging and has sagged under gravity.

Because the internal structure of the face is very complex, it is necessary to lift not only the visibly sagging skin but also the key underlying layers.

Since it can produce powerful results, it is also a demanding procedure, so careful technique and extensive anatomical knowledge are needed for satisfactory results.

What is the key to a facelift?

The results of a facelift vary depending on which areas are pulled and lifted, so a design tailored to the individual’s needs should come first.

In addition, when dissecting the fascia and retaining ligaments to remove the connections, the necessary extent must be determined precisely to reduce abnormal symptoms.

The experience of medical staff who have focused on lifting procedures and research can be an important factor in judging this level of skill.

Based on this, our clinic performs facelifts by identifying the areas where practical lifting is possible without damaging surrounding tissue.

Finding the right method for each person

V-neck lifting and facelifts both share the common goal of removing concerns caused by a double chin.

However, they differ somewhat in the extent of incision, the procedure itself, and how long the results last, and each has its own characteristics, so the appropriate one must be selected.

Based on our long experience focusing on lifting procedures, our clinic helps each person find the method they need.

We hope you will experience double chin surgery, grounded in a deep understanding of the SMAS layer, here at our clinic.
