Jawline Lifting, How to Manage Your Facial Line During Summer Dieting at a Gangnam Station Plastic Surgery Clinic

Hello.

I’m Director Lee Seong-joon of Liting Plastic Surgery Seoul Branch.

�a0

Have you ever looked in the mirror recently and thought something like this?

“When did my face get this wide?”

“My jawline seems less defined,

and the fat under my chin feels more saggy..."

If you’ve thought this at least once recently,

you may be at the point where facial line management

is needed.

Especially in summer, when more skin is exposed,

the jawline and neck line become

more noticeable than usual.

�a0

If you feel like your face looks bigger in photos

and your impression seems duller,

it may be a sign of natural aging

and decreased skin elasticity.

�a0

Why does the concern about under-chin fat get worse in summer?

The face and neck are

the areas most exposed to ultraviolet rays.

UV rays destroy elastic fibers in the skin,

�a0

and as aging progresses, the elasticity of the SMAS layer

also gradually decreases.

�a0

As a result,

�a0

even if you diet,

the fat under the chin does not go away,

and especially in summer, when clothing becomes lighter,

�a0

the blur in the jawline and neck line

becomes more noticeable.

When this area loses definition,

the overall impression can also look dull.

At times like this,

one option to consider is

�a0

a jawline lifting procedure at a Gangnam Station plastic surgery clinic.

�a0

Today, let’s take a closer look

at jawline lifting and

summer care methods.

�a0

�a0

How do jawline concerns differ by age?

✅ In your 30s: Even after dieting, only the under-chin fat remains, so the line is not clearly defined
✅ In your 40s: The cheeks descend downward, and nasolabial and marionette lines become more prominent
✅ In your 50s: The boundary between the jawline and neck line becomes unclear, and the entire lower face feels heavy

As such, concerns about under-chin fat

do not apply only to a specific age group.

From the 30s through the 50s,

people of various ages

�a0

struggle with decreased elasticity in the jawline and lower face.

�a0

The key to jawline lifting is dissection of the SMAS layer

Between the subcutaneous fat and the muscles,

there is a SMAS layer (fascia layer).

�a0

This layer is

a crucial structure that supports

facial contours and elasticity.

�a0

It is this SMAS layer that becomes

the fundamental cause of aging, wrinkles,

and changes in facial lines.

�a0

�a0

That is why jawline lifting

requires dissecting both the SMAS layer and the skin,

and lifting both the outer and inner layers at the same time.

�a0

Through this,

the rebound that makes the skin try to return

to its original state is reduced,

so a more stable and natural

lifting effect can be expected.

�a0

�a0

What is the SMAS layer?

To explain the SMAS layer

a little more,

�a0

the SMAS layer is a thin membrane-like layer

located just beneath the skin.

�a0

Simply put,

�a0

it plays an important role

in maintaining the facial contour and elasticity

between the skin and muscles.

�a0

The SMAS layer

firmly supports the skin,

�a0

and helps naturally transmit

the movement of the muscles.

�a0

So in jawline lifting,

�a0

it is important to dissect the skin and SMAS layer together

and pull them up as one.

�a0

How is jawline lifting surgery performed?

STEP 01

�a0

An incision is made in a natural VN (V-neck) shape

along the front and back of the ears and the back-of-neck hairline.

�a0

STEP 02

�a0

After dissecting the SMAS layer of the sagging area

that needs improvement,

it is pulled upward.

�a0

STEP 03

�a0

The skin in the area to be improved

is pulled upward.

�a0

STEP 04

�a0

The remaining loose skin is removed,

then the incision is closed with sutures to finish.

�a0

※ The incision range and dissection depth

may vary depending on the individual’s facial shape,

skin thickness, and degree of wrinkles.

�a0

�a0

What areas can jawline lifting help with?

✔️ Sagging cheek fat

✔️ Prominent jowl area

✔️ Marionette lines

✔️ Sagging jawline

✔️ Loose neck wrinkles

�a0

Jawline lifting at a Gangnam Station plastic surgery clinic

�a0

can be one way to improve concerns about

the lower face, especially around the jawline.

�a0

However,

�a0

depending on a person’s facial shape,

fat distribution, and skin condition,

�a0

other procedures such as liposuction, fat grafting, and fillers

may also be combined.

�a0

One procedure that can be considered together

is face liposuction.

�a0

Face liposuction

�a0

uses tumescent solution, which helps enable safe liposuction,

and injects it into the treatment area using a micro cannula,

�a0

then effectively and safely separates and breaks down only the fat layer.

�a0

After that, the separated fat is suctioned out,

and a resilient suction line is created,

�a0

improving the area into a naturally slimmer line

without damaging the skin.

�a0

�a0

STEP 01. Separation of fat cells

�a0

STEP 02. Suction of the separated fat

In other words,

�a0

it is a procedure that precisely removes unnecessary facial fat

and creates a natural contour. This procedure is especially considered in the following cases.

�a0

📌 When there is a lot of fat around the jaw, making the jawline less visible
📌 When cheek fat or fat under the chin is sagging, making the face look heavy
📌 When lifting alone may not be enough to improve volume

When face liposuction is performed together with lifting,

�a0

it can make the face look lighter

while also creating a firmer impression,

�a0

so a more distinct change can be expected.

�a0

However,

�a0

the most important thing is to determine

the method that is right for you

through consultation with a specialist,

and please note that all changes

vary from person to person.

�a0

�a0

In summer, post-surgery care is also important

After surgery at a Gangnam Station plastic surgery clinic,

�a0

recovery and satisfaction can vary

depending on aftercare. Especially in summer,

because of environmental factors such as

sweat, ultraviolet rays, and temperature changes,

�a0

there are many times when you need to pay extra attention

to caring for the surgical area.

�a0

Of course, in summer,

the body’s metabolic activity becomes more active,

core body temperature and blood flow increase,

so bruising and swelling may subside

relatively quickly,

and tissue regeneration may also speed up.

However, because UV rays, sweat, and temperature changes

can irritate the skin,

�a0

aftercare is very important.

�a0

�a0

How should you protect against UV rays?

Skin that has become sensitive after surgery

may be more vulnerable to ultraviolet rays.

�a0

✔️ Instead of irritating sunscreen,

use physical protection methods such as

hats, sunglasses, and parasols.

�a0

These can help reduce skin irritation.

✔️ If the skin is red or sensitive,

it is best to avoid UV exposure

as much as possible.

�a0

✔️ Avoid going out during the daytime when the sun is strong,

�a0

✔️ and using UV-blocking film or curtains indoors

is also a good idea.

�a0

�a0

Hydration and moisturization to maintain skin condition

Because temperature differences between indoors and outdoors

and air conditioning can dry out the skin,

adequate water intake and proper indoor humidity

are also important. When using moisturizer after surgery,

it is better to use products with non-irritating ingredients,

�a0

and to follow the recommendations of a specialist.

�a0

So far,

�a0

we have looked at

jawline lifting at a Gangnam Station plastic surgery clinic

and

summer care methods.

�a0

Jawline lifting is not simply pulling up the fat under the chin;

�a0

it is a surgery performed based on anatomical structure

through dissection of the SMAS layer. Since it precisely approaches multiple tissues, including the fascia layer,

please keep in mind that the degree of change and the duration of results

may differ depending on each person’s skin condition and the surgical method.

�a0

Also,

�a0

if you pay a little more attention to summer care,

you should be able to recover stably.

Before surgery, please discuss your skin condition,

the area of concern, and your daily lifestyle sufficiently,

and make a careful decision.

May you look more naturally youthful tomorrow than today,

and today more than yesterday.
