Double chin injections in Gangnam, Seoul
Fat-dissolving injections that reduce stubborn fat under the chin and sharpen the jaw-to-neck line — no incisions, and fat cells that are destroyed do not come back.
What are double chin injections?
Double chin injections are a non-surgical treatment in which a fat-dissolving solution, typically based on deoxycholic acid, is injected into the fat beneath the chin. It breaks down fat-cell membranes, the body clears the debris, and the chin and jawline become more defined over 2–3 months, usually after 2–4 sessions. Once fat cells are destroyed, results are long-lasting provided your weight stays stable.
It suits people of normal weight with a localised pocket of submental fat. If the fullness is mainly loose skin or a weak chin, lifting or chin filler may be more effective — your doctor assesses this first.

Double chin injections questions we hear most
Can’t find your answer? Message our English-speaking team on WhatsApp.
Are double chin injection results permanent?
The treated fat cells are destroyed and do not regenerate, so results are long-lasting. Significant weight gain can still enlarge the remaining fat cells.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Visitors can start in Seoul and plan follow-ups around return trips.
Does it hurt?
There is a stinging or burning sensation for a few minutes after injection. Numbing cream and ice keep it manageable.
What are the side effects?
Swelling, bruising, numbness and tenderness are common for several days. Rarely, temporary nerve irritation can cause an uneven smile; this resolves over weeks.
How is this different from fat dissolving injections?
It is a specific use of fat dissolving injections focused on the chin; the same principle is used on the cheeks, arms and abdomen.
