Treatment Overview
Submandibular Liposuction is a precise fat-removal procedure targeting the area beneath the lower jaw (submandibular region) to create a sharper, more sculpted jawline and improve facial harmony. This treatment is particularly effective for patients with localized fat pockets below the jawline that make the face look heavier or less defined.
In Korea, submandibular liposuction is performed using microcannula and advanced contouring techniques to remove fat without leaving visible scars, ensuring a natural transition between the face, jawline, and neck. Often, it is combined with chin augmentation, V-line surgery, or skin-tightening treatments for enhanced results.
