01 The short answer
What is double chin liposuction?
Double chin liposuction (submental liposuction) removes fat beneath the chin and along the upper neck through a small incision hidden under the chin, sharpening the angle between the neck and the jaw.
At De:light in Gangnam, Seoul, it is performed under local anesthesia or light sedation by Dr. Seonghun Kim with fine micro-cannulas for even, delicate shaping. The incision is closed with the De:MIS internal suture — no stitches to remove. A chin compression band is worn after surgery; swelling usually settles within 1–2 weeks and the defined jawline becomes clearer over the following months.

02 Is it right for you?
An honest answer first — even if it's "no."
We would rather tell you double chin liposuction isn't the right tool than sell you a surgery you don't need.
Usually a good fit
- A double chin that stays even at a healthy weight
- Fullness under the chin in side profile
- Reasonably firm neck skin
- You want a sharper jawline without a facelift
Other options may suit you
- Mainly loose, sagging neck skin
- A recessed chin bone causing the look (may need other treatment)
- Fat under the neck muscle rather than above it
- Expecting a change in face width
Not sure? Send a front and side-profile photo on WhatsApp — Dr. Kim's team will tell you honestly what's realistic.
03 How we shape the chin
Fine cannulas. Fine lines.
The neck has thin skin and delicate structures, so Dr. Kim uses tumescent anesthesia and micro-cannulas to sculpt evenly and protect the skin surface.
Tumescent technique
Fluid is infused first to reduce bleeding, bruising and downtime.
Micro-cannula sculpting
Very fine cannulas for smooth, even shaping of a small area.
Laser-assisted (selected cases)
May help soften fat and support skin tightening under the chin.
Jawline blending
Feathering along the jaw for a natural neck-to-jaw angle.

08 Questions, answered
Double Chin Liposuction FAQ
How much does double chin liposuction cost in Gangnam, Seoul?
It depends on the area and technique. Send a front and side photo on WhatsApp for a personal quote after an online consultation.
Will there be a visible scar?
The incision is tiny and hidden under the chin, and is closed internally with the De:MIS suture, so it is very discreet.
How long do I wear the chin band?
Usually full-time for the first days and then for a period advised by Dr. Kim's team.
Is the result permanent?
Removed fat cells do not return. Keeping a stable weight preserves the result.
Can I combine double chin and face liposuction?
Yes. Many patients treat the cheeks or jowls together with the chin for a balanced result.
Is double chin liposuction better than injections?
Injections dissolve small amounts of fat over several sessions. Liposuction removes more fat in one procedure. Dr. Kim will explain which suits you.
I'm visiting from abroad. How many days should I stay in Seoul?
It depends on your plan and recovery. Share your travel dates on WhatsApp and our team will suggest a schedule covering consultation, surgery and a check-up before your flight. De:MIS needs no stitch removal, so there is no stitch-removal visit to plan around.
Do you speak English? Who will perform my surgery?
Yes — English-speaking staff handle inquiries, online consultation, scheduling and recovery guidance. Your surgery is performed personally by Dr. Seonghun Kim, the same surgeon who consults you. There is no change of surgeon.
