Treatment Overview
Chin Contour Fat Dissolving Injection in Korea is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to eliminate submental (chin) fat and refine the jawline for a sharper, more defined contour. Using advanced Korean lipolytic formulations, often containing deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, the injection selectively targets fat cells, which are naturally broken down and eliminated via the lymphatic system.
The treatment is ideal for patients with mild to moderate submental fullness, providing gradual, natural-looking chin and jawline definition without the need for surgery or liposuction.
Korea is internationally recognized for Chin Contour programs that integrate:
- Ultrasound-guided injection for precise targeting of chin fat
- Microinjection techniques for uniform fat dissolution
- AI-assisted facial contour planning for optimal jawline aesthetics
- Optional combination with RF or HIFU for skin tightening and enhanced contouring
- Outpatient sessions with minimal downtime
This ensures safe, effective reduction of chin fat and improved lower-face contour.
