Double Chin Surgery
The cause of a double chin isn’t just fat. It can stem from a
variety of deeper, structural causes. We identify and address
the root causes specific to each individual for effective and
lasting results.

Simultaneous Correction of
Deep Fat and Underlying Muscle
Double chin surgery is far more complex than simple fat removal.
Without a well-planned, anatomical approach,
the results can be unsatisfactory.
Double chins result from a combination of factors: a short chin, excessive fat buildup,
sagging muscles, or even congenital factors.
Dr. Kirk In-Soo, with 20 years of experience in facial contouring surgery,
carefully resects and secures the digastric muscle, the deepest muscle beneath the chin bone,
during surgery to prevent post-operative sagging.
In double chin surgery, addressing the muscles is just as crucial as removing fat.
At ONUL Plastic Surgery, our team of contouring and lifting specialists perform each surgery
meticulously with deep anatomical insight and a focus on achieving natural facial balance.

Key Points of Double Chin Surgery
There’s a reason we take pride in our double chin and neck contouring procedures.
Experience the difference for yourself.
We develop personalized treatment plans using facial ultrasound and comprehensive anatomical expertise. In many cases, conventional liposuction alone is not enough to fully remove a double chin. We use ultrasound to assess fat thickness and precisely remove not only subcutaneous fat but also excess fat beneath the platysma muscle, and in severe cases, even deep fat pads located under the neck muscles.
Going beyond fat removal, we lift and secure sagging muscles in the space left behind after liposuction to prevent drooping and achieve a lifting effect. Because muscle correction is crucial in double chin surgery, Dr. Kirk, an expert in various types of contouring and lifting surgeries, performs the procedure with meticulous attention to anatomical structure and facial aesthetics to achieve perfect balance. Choosing a proven, skilled surgeon is the key to a successful outcome.
With extensive experience and advanced techniques, we deliver safe and reliable enhancements by ensuring precise dissection and firm fixation. Double chins caused by complex factors are addressed through a three-step procedure, which involves removing fat, tightening the muscles, and if the submandibular salivary glands are enlarged, reducing the glands for a slimmer and more refined jawline.
We perform the procedure with a 2 to 3-cm incision in an inconspicuous area under the chin, along with precise suturing to minimize visible scarring. This reduces concern over scarring and helps patients return to daily life quickly.

Through a minimal submental incision (2 to 3 cm), we remove excess fat, sagging muscles, and
enlarged salivary glands to create a smooth and slim jawline.
We make a 2 to 3-cm incision along the natural crease of the sagging area beneath the chin.
Carefully remove fat from three different layers: subcutaneous fat, preplatysmal fat, and fat under the muscle.
We pull the loosened platysma muscle (neck muscle) to the center and tie it together and then secure the digastric muscle (submental muscle) upward to clearly define the boundary between the jaw and neck.
We reduce enlarged salivary glands and fix the skin with meticulous suturing.
