Quick answer
What Causes a Double Chin?
A double chin (submental fullness) is a fold or bulge under the chin. It is most often caused by a pocket of submental fat, but loose skin, a weak or short chin, low hyoid position and posture can create the same look, even in slim people.
Genetics strongly influence where fat is stored, so some people have a double chin regardless of weight. With age, the platysma muscle and neck skin loosen, which adds sagging to the picture.
Treatment depends on the cause. Fat responds to fat-dissolving injections or RF contouring, loose skin to tightening, and a short chin to chin support. Our Double Chin Treatment page explains the procedures in detail.

Is it right for you?
Who Is Double Chin Treatment Right For?
Adults with a localised fullness under the chin that does not shift with diet and exercise.
Injections are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active infection or swelling in the neck, or with thyroid swelling that has not been checked. If the fullness is mainly loose skin, fat-dissolving injections alone may make it look worse – the doctor will advise tightening instead.
- A soft bulge under the chin in side profile
- Fullness that remains after weight loss
- A blurred line between jaw and neck
- Disliking how your chin looks in photos
- Wanting a non-surgical alternative to liposuction

FAQ
Double Chin in Seoul – Frequently Asked Questions
What causes a double chin if I am not overweight?
A double chin in slim people is often due to genetics, a short or recessed chin, loose skin or posture. A doctor at Doje Clinic in Gangnam can tell which cause applies, which changes the treatment.
How much does double chin treatment cost in Seoul?
At Doje Clinic, the cost of Double Chin depends on the areas treated and the bespoke plan designed at your 1:1 consultation with Dr. Byun Je-ik, so prices are confirmed after the doctor's assessment. Message us on WhatsApp for an initial guide.
How many sessions does a double chin need?
Most people need 2–3 sessions of fat-dissolving injections, spaced a few weeks apart. Fewer may be needed when a small fat pocket is combined with RF contouring.
How long is the swelling after double chin injections?
Swelling and tenderness usually last a few days and settle within about one to two weeks. A scarf or high collar can help if you are sightseeing.
Is a double chin treatment permanent?
Fat cells that are destroyed generally do not return, so results can last long term with a stable weight. Skin laxity continues with age, so tightening may be needed later.
Can I treat my double chin on a short trip to Korea?
Yes, a first session can fit into a trip. Expect a few swollen days, and plan further sessions or ask follow-up questions on WhatsApp once you are home.
Can I consult in English?
