Double Chin Liposuction & Platysmaplasty in Seoul, Korea
Double chin removal with muscle tightening goes beyond suctioning surface fat: through a small incision under the chin, deep fat is reduced and the loose platysma (neck muscle) is drawn together in the midline for a sharp jaw–neck angle.

How Double Chin Liposuction & Platysmaplasty works
If the platysma is separated or lax, removing fat alone leaves a soft, rounded neck. Tightening the muscle provides internal support.
The incision is about 2–3 cm and hidden under the chin.

- After intraoral incisions, rinse after meals and eat soft food for 2–4 weeks.
- Avoid pressure or massage on grafted fat for about 4 weeks.
- Sleep on your back with your head raised.
