Vibe Plastic Surgery: A Global Destination | Double Chin Liposuction + Thread Lift Case Study - Dr. Young-moon Yu

Hello.

I am Dr. Young-moon Yu, Director of Vibe Plastic Surgery.

Recently, we have seen a steady increase in global patients visiting Vibe Plastic Surgery not only from Korea but also from Central Asia (Uzbekistan), Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia), English-speaking regions (USA, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia), and East Asia (Japan, China, Taiwan).

Today, I would like to introduce a specific case involving:

✔ A female patient in her 30s

✔ A combination of double chin liposuction and double chin thread lifting to improve sagging.

Why the double chin was a concern in her 30s

While this patient had a relatively slim body type,

she had localized fat accumulation under the chin,

and as skin elasticity decreased,

her primary concern was a blurry jawline and a dull facial impression.

She experienced significant stress because her double chin became particularly prominent when taking photos or even slightly tilting her head down.

Cases where liposuction alone is insufficient

While liposuction alone can reduce volume to improve a double chin,

❗ After the age of 30,

due to decreased skin elasticity

and sagging soft tissue,

liposuction alone can sometimes result in a sagging sensation.​

Therefore, I recommended a combination of 👉 double chin liposuction + thread lifting for this patient.

Surgical Plan

① Double Chin Liposuction

Precisely remove only the necessary fat without over-extracting.

Focus on creating a smooth contour along the jawline.

Aim for a natural result by avoiding excessive suction.

② Double Chin Thread Lifting

Compensate for potential sagging that may remain after fat removal.

Tighten and lift from under the chin to the jawline.

Adjust the direction and tension so the face shape does not appear elongated.

👉 The key is to capture both ‘line + elasticity’ simultaneously, rather than just removing fat.

Post-Surgical Improvement Points

The most significant changes after surgery were:

✔ Removal of unnecessary volume under the chin

✔ A smaller-looking face as the jawline became distinct

✔ The double chin is barely visible even when tilting the head down

✔ An overall sophisticated and tidy impression

Despite being an international patient, the recovery process was stable, and she achieved satisfying results even within a short stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is double chin liposuction alone sufficient?

No, after the age of 30, due to decreased skin elasticity and soft tissue sagging, liposuction alone may result in a loose appearance. Therefore, we recommend combining double chin liposuction with thread lifting.

Why combine double chin liposuction and thread lifting?

The reason is to precisely remove unnecessary fat with double chin liposuction, and then use thread lifting to compensate for any sagging that may remain after fat removal and to tightly lift the jawline, thereby improving both contour and elasticity simultaneously.

What changes can I expect in my jawline after the surgery?

After the surgery, unnecessary volume under the chin will be removed, and the jawline will become sharper, creating the effect of a smaller face. Even when you lower your head, the double chin will be barely visible.

Can international patients also undergo surgery at Vibe Plastic Surgery?

Yes, it is possible. Vibe Plastic Surgery consistently welcomes international patients from various countries, including Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and English-speaking regions, and operates a systematic process for surgical flow, recovery management, and consultation systems.

What is the recovery like after double chin surgery?

Although a specific recovery period is not mentioned in the main text, it is stated that international patients have achieved satisfactory results through a stable recovery process within a short stay. Individual differences may apply.
