Fixing a Chin and Jawline in Korea: Liron's Combination Plan, and What Her Doctor Wants You to Know

The area under the chin is where many people first notice their face changing — often in a photo taken from below. I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, director of Delphic Clinic near Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam; I trained at Korea University Medical Center, and I consult and treat international patients myself. Liron came with a precise goal: fix the chin and jawline. That's one of the most common requests I get from visitors, and it rarely has a single cause. Here's how I read her case, why the plan had several parts, what “instant” means, the cost, and who should wait.

A double chin usually has more than one cause

Under the chin, I look for three things: a pocket of fat, skin that has started to relax, and how the jaw itself sits. The first two respond to non-surgical treatment. The third is anatomy, and I say so plainly when it's the main reason.

Liron began with an AI skin analysis, then sat down with me one to one. The scan doesn't decide the plan, but it helps show what's going on beneath the surface — exactly as she described it.

What each part of her plan targeted

1. 1

   Chin fat-dissolving injection — the pocket

   Injected into the fat under the chin to break down a localised fullness. This is the part aimed directly at the double chin.

2. 2

   ONDA — the deeper layer of the lower face

   Microwave energy that heats the deeper fat layer while the surface stays cool, helping the lower face look slimmer and firmer.

3. 3

   Titanium — the skin along the jaw

   Three wavelengths (755, 810 and 1064nm) warm the dermis to tighten skin, so the jawline reads cleaner.

She also had a forehead treatment the same day, which is a separate concern from the jawline and isn't covered here. For more on the injection itself, see my fat-dissolving first-timer guide.

About that “instant” lift

Liron wrote that she could already see a more lifted, sculpted jawline straight away, and that the treatment was quick with minimal pain. Many patients feel this. Part of it is immediate tightening from the lifting devices; part is the light swelling that sometimes makes skin look taut.

The fat-dissolving part works more slowly. In the first days, the area under the chin can even look a little fuller before it settles. I explain this in my week-by-week fat-dissolving timeline so no one is caught off guard.

The cost of a chin-and-jawline plan

Prices are published and identical for every nationality. The typical first-visit version of Liron's three jawline steps is below.

If fat under the chin is your only concern, the injection alone may be your starting point. I've mapped fat-dissolving prices area by area so you can compare.

The weeks after

• First days: tightness from the lifting devices; swelling or tenderness under the chin.
• Over the following weeks: the chin area tends to slim gradually as treated fat is cleared.
• Around 2–3 months: collagen changes from lifting continue; a good time for comparison photos.
• Stable weight helps keep the jawline result.
