Double chin surgery (Submental Corset Platysmaplasty)
5,000+ successful surgical cases in Facelift, Brow Lift, and advanced lifting
A Facelift in Seoul with Dr. Ki Yup Kim is a highly individualized surgical procedure that rolls back years of aging to help you achieve smooth, tight, youthful skin and facial features.
Genetics play a powerful role in shaping many parts of the body—including the face. It’s entirely possible to be slim, fit, and healthy, yet still carry fullness in the cheeks or beneath the chin. This is not something you’ve done wrong, and it’s not something diet or exercise alone can always fix.
Dr. Kim at Liff PS understands how frustrating this can be and is dedicated to helping patients achieve the facial definition they desire. By carefully removing buccal fat and combining it with refined techniques and complementary procedures developed through his own clinical experience, Dr. Kim is able to sculpt a more defined jawline and chin—without leaving behind the appearance of excess fat.
Double Chin Surgery Overview
What Is a Double Chin Surgery?
Double chin surgery encompasses several cosmetic procedures designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This condition can affect individuals at any age due to genetics, weight fluctuations, aging, or chin anatomy. For those seeking chin liposuction in Korea to enhance their facial balance and aesthetics, Dr. Kim offers customized surgical options to restructure a double chin and create an attractive, youthful facial profile.
Dr. Kim employs various techniques, including liposuction, neck lift surgery, and liposuction. Each procedure targets the submental area from different angles, ensuring the approach is appropriate for your unique anatomy. The benefits of these procedures include a more defined facial profile, enhanced jawline, and a significant reduction in the appearance of a double chin. Because sagging of the glial muscles, the muscles surrounding the neck, can be the cause, fat removal and glial muscle binding must be carried out at the same time for certain effects.

After: Your Road To Recovery and Amazing Results
After the procedure, it’s time to prepare to return home, get some rest, and allow your body to begin the healing process.
Patients who travel to Seoul for the procedure often choose to stay at the Andaz Seoul Gangnam, conveniently located in the Apgujeong area, close to the clinic. Please ask our staff about special accommodation arrangements or recommendations for out-of-town patients. Before you leave the clinic, you will be provided with medications and instructions to help prevent infection. Dr. Kim will carefully explain how to care for the incision site and review any necessary dietary guidelines during recovery. Mild swelling and minor bruising are common after the procedure and should be expected.
Full recovery from the procedure takes around three weeks. The true results takes up to 3 months to set in. It takes this amount of time because once the volume has been removed the tissues need to heal and tighten to create the contours.
It is essential that you listen and follow all of Dr. Kim’s self-care and dietary plans to ensure a complete and fast recovery without complications while also attending all of the follow-up appointments. These follow up appointments are often virtual. If you have any questions regarding the process before, during, and after your procedure, Dr. Kim is highly trained, experienced and ready to answer any concerns or inquiries you have. We give every operative patient a direct line to be able to reach the doctor in the postoperative period.

Before & After Photos
A mini facelift is an ideal surgery for many patients who are experiencing “filler fatigue” and “laser fatigue”. Often in the forties, injectable fillers, Botox, lasers, and facial tightening devices can keep you looking youthful and rejuvenated. As aging continues the benefit of these treatments lessens. You need more and more filler and lasers escalating the cost. In these cases, a mini-facelift becomes the best option for a more cost-effective and longer-lasting rejuvenation.
