Treatment Overview
Neck and Submental Liposuction is a specialized fat-removal procedure targeting the neck and the submental (under-chin) area to create a more defined jawline, slender neck profile, and youthful appearance. This treatment is particularly effective for patients with a “double chin” or neck fullness caused by excess fat rather than sagging skin or bone structure issues.
In Korea, surgeons use microcannula liposuction techniques and advanced contouring methods to precisely remove stubborn fat while maintaining a smooth, natural neck contour. This approach is often paired with skin-tightening treatments or jawline contouring for optimal results.
Purpose & Benefits
- Removes stubborn fat from the neck and chin area

- Can be combined with facelift or skin-tightening treatments
Ideal Candidates
