Treatment Overview
Chin Liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess fat from the chin and submental (under-chin) area, creating a slimmer, more defined jawline. This treatment is ideal for patients with a double chin or mild to moderate fat deposits in the lower face.
In Korea, surgeons employ advanced precision techniques and modern liposuction devices to sculpt the chin area with minimal downtime, ensuring natural, proportionate results that enhance facial harmony.
