Double Chin Injection in Korea for a Sharper Jawline: Liron's “Emergency” Trip, Explained by Her Doctor
Liron (@myglamtravels) called her trip an emergency: a snatched jawline. Her doctor explains why the chin injection did the targeted work, why two devices supported it, and when this plan is the wrong one.

When a patient points under their chin and says “this,” I already know half of the consultation. I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, director of Delphic Clinic close to Sinnonhyeon Station in Gangnam. I trained at Korea University Medical Center and consult and treat international patients myself. A softer jawline is one of the concerns I hear most from travellers, and Liron put it more memorably than most: her “emergency” was a snatched jawline. This page explains why the small chin injection mattered as much as the devices, what it costs, and who would be better off with something else.

In her own words
Unfortunately I have to go to Korea for an emergency ✈️🇰🇷 The emergency: snatched jawline ✨🔪 … I started with AI skin analysis followed by a 1:1 doctor consultation. I got Titanium lifting + ONDA + chin fat-dissolving injection + forehead Botox. The treatment was quick with minimal pain, and I could already see a more lifted, sculpted jawline ✨
Where a soft jawline actually comes from
A jawline can look blurred for three different reasons: a pad of fat under the chin, skin that has loosened, or both. The fix is different for each, which is why Liron's visit started with the AI skin analysis and a 1:1 consultation rather than a device.
Her plan — a chin injection plus two devices — is the one I build when fullness under the chin leads and some laxity follows. That ranking decides the order of everything else.
The chin injection: small, targeted, easy to underestimate
A double-chin fat-dissolving injection works on the fat pad directly. Devices can warm and tighten a broad area, but a precise injection reaches the pocket that creates the double-chin shadow.
I explain the dosing and areas in my guide to fat-dissolving injections for the jawline, and the honest list of side effects is in a separate piece on what the reviews understate.
Why Titanium and ONDA came along
- ONDA's Coolwaves™ microwaves heat the deeper fat layer along the lower face while keeping the surface cool — useful where the heaviness extends past the chin.
- Titanium warms the dermis with three wavelengths (755, 810, 1064 nm) to firm the skin, so the new contour doesn't sit under loose skin.
- She also had a small add-on injection, quoted at the consultation; it is separate from the jawline plan.
“Quick, with minimal pain” — what to actually expect
Liron's description fits what many patients tell me. The injections take only a few minutes and feel like small pinches with a brief sting. Titanium's sapphire tip cools to around −3°C, and ONDA feels like deep warmth.
Expect the area under the chin to feel swollen or tender for a few days, and occasionally a small bruise. The swelling is the reason early “snatched” photos and the final result are not the same thing.
Pricing her plan on today's menu
Our prices are public, and visitors pay exactly what Korean patients pay. The typical first-visit version of Liron's plan is:
- Double Chin Fat Destruction Injection (First-visit trial)₩200,000≈ $140
- Titanium 40KJ (First-visit trial)₩340,000≈ $250
- ONDA Lifting (Face) 40kj (First-visit trial)₩270,000≈ $200
VAT excluded · the same price for Korean and international patients · Liron's exact doses aren't stated, so these are the menu prices for the typical first-visit version of her plan · regular: Titanium 40kJ ₩500,000, ONDA face 40kJ ₩400,000 · a small add-on injection, quoted at the consultation.
If you only want the chin, the injection can be done on its own. My area-by-area fat-dissolving price map shows how other areas compare.
What happens after the swelling goes down
The fat-dissolving effect develops over the following weeks, while device tightening builds over a couple of months. Some people need more than one injection session for a fuller chin, which I'll tell you upfront rather than after.
Planning it around a short trip
- 1
Before flying
Message us on WhatsApp with a side-profile photo. That one angle tells me most of what I need about the chin.
- 2
Treatment day
Skin analysis, consultation with me and same-day treatment if we agree. English and Chinese interpreters are on site.
- 3
Location
A short walk from Exit 3 of Sinnonhyeon Station.
- 4
Timing
Book early in your trip, not the day before a big event — chin swelling takes a few days to settle.
Is this for you?
Who this combination genuinely suits
Signs it may be time
- You tilt your head up in photos to hide a double chin
- Weight loss elsewhere hasn't changed your chin
- Your profile looks fuller than your front view
- You've had lifting before and the chin was the part that didn't change
A good fit if
- Fullness under your chin hides your jawline in side photos
- You want a sharper jawline without surgery
- You'd like targeted injection and device tightening planned together
- You have a few days in Seoul for swelling to settle
Not the right first step if: your jawline looks soft mainly because of loose skin or bone structure rather than fat, you're pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have a pacemaker or metal implants in the area — fat-dissolving steps won't help there.

“Send me a side profile before you book your flight. I'll tell you honestly whether the chin injection is worth it for you, or whether your jawline needs a different approach.”
Questions patients ask me about this
How much is a double chin injection in Korea?
At Delphic Clinic, the double-chin fat-destruction injection is ₩200,000 at the first-visit price (VAT excluded). International patients pay the same as Korean patients.
Does a double chin fat-dissolving injection hurt?
It feels like a few small pinches with a brief sting and takes only minutes. The area can feel swollen or tender for a few days afterwards.
How long does swelling last after a chin fat-dissolving injection?
Swelling and tenderness under the chin usually settle within a few days, and a small bruise can appear. Booking early in your trip gives it time to calm.
Can you combine chin fat-dissolving injection with Titanium and ONDA?
Yes, when the consultation shows both fat and skin laxity. The injection targets the chin fat pad while Titanium and ONDA work on skin firmness and the deeper fat layer.
How many sessions do I need for a double chin?
It depends on how much fat is there. Some people see a change after one session and others need more, and the doctor will tell you at consultation.
