20s Double Chin Liposuction Before & After | Defining a Blunt Jawline with Liposound & Thread Lifting by Dr. Young-moon Yu, VIBE Plastic Surgery (Sinnonhyeon Station)

Hello.

This is VIBE Plastic Surgery.

Today, we would like to introduce a case of double chin and jawline improvement for a patient in their 20s.

This patient was not overweight,

yet their primary concern was that stubborn fat had accumulated beneath the chin,

making the boundary between the jaw and neck appear blunt and leaving the jawline undefined and rough.

Particularly from the profile view, the jawline did not transition smoothly into the neck,

and the protruding double chin created a somewhat heavy and muffled impression across the entire face.

In this case, rather than merely removing fat,

we simultaneously performed:

① Liposound double chin liposuction

② Jawline contouring via thread lifting

③ Skin tightening with Shurink (HIFU)

to achieve a dramatically sleek and refined jawline transformation.

Pre-Op Concerns | What if your jawline looks blunt even in your 20s?

Double chins and jawline concerns do not only affect older individuals.

Even among patients in their 20s, due to genetic fat distribution or the natural thickness of skin and subcutaneous fat layers,

submental fat can appear prominent regardless of overall body type or weight.

In such cases, not only from the front but also from the profile,

the boundary between the jaw and neck becomes indistinct,

the double chin stands out conspicuously,

the face appears larger than it actually is,

and a sharp, defined V-line fails to show through,

causing significant cosmetic frustration.

For this patient, the main issue was also that "the fat beneath the chin made the jawline appear bulky and undefined."

Therefore, rather than performing lifting alone,

we developed a surgical plan to first effectively remove the fat

and then refine the remaining tissues and skin together.

The Key: Accurately removing jawline fat with "Liposound Liposuction"

What VIBE Plastic Surgery considers most critical in double chin liposuction

is not simply how much fat is extracted, but how delicately and accurately the fat is sculpted.

Because the submental area serves as a crucial boundary connecting the face and the neck,

blindly removing a large volume of fat does not necessarily produce good results.

Liposound at VIBE Plastic Surgery is

an effective liposuction technique used to delicately sculpt fat from the double chin and jawline.

Advantages of Liposound

1. More effective jawline fat refinement

Submental fat is not confined to a single spot beneath the chin.

The fat must be sculpted while taking into account the continuous line from beneath the chin to the jawline and the neck junction,

ensuring a natural and sharply contoured outcome.

Liposound effectively removes fat from these areas, helping turn a blunt jawline into a crisp, defined contour.

2. A clearer boundary between the face and neck

When submental fat is eliminated, one of the first visible changes is a sharply delineated line between the jaw and neck.

As the jawline flows smoothly into the neck from the side, the entire face looks visibly smaller, lighter, and more sculpted.

3. A "Line Design" approach rather than simple fat extraction

Double chin liposuction at VIBE Plastic Surgery does not aim solely at removing high volumes of fat.

It is essential to design a personalized jawline tailored to each individual by considering:

The structure of the mandibular bone

The position of the chin tip

The distribution of submental fat

Skin elasticity

The cervicomental angle between the neck and chin

Therefore, even when removing the same volume of fat,

the final result can differ significantly depending on which precise areas are sculpted and how.

The reason VIBE Plastic Surgery is favored by so many patients for Liposound liposuction

lies right in this "meticulous line design."

We didn't stop at Liposound liposuction alone!

A key highlight of this case

is that lifting procedures were performed concurrently following liposuction.

Removing unnecessary fat through liposuction alone

can certainly bring about considerable improvement to the jawline.

However, if the remaining skin and tissue are tightened and repositioned right after fat removal,

a far smoother and sharper jawline transformation can be expected.

For this reason, thread lifting and Shurink were performed together for this patient.

1. Thread Lifting | Tightening lax tissue to redefine the jawline once more

Thread lifting pulls up sagging or descending tissues,

helping create a tighter, smoother jawline contour.

When thread lifting is performed after reducing fat volume with Liposound,

it reduces excess fat → lifts sagging tissue → and sharpens the jawline even further.

In other words, it complements the liposuction by adding the final layer of crisp refinement that suction alone might lack.

2. Shurink | Ensuring the skin adheres snugly to the jawline

After fat is removed, skin elasticity and contraction are equally vital.

In this case, Shurink was combined

to encourage the skin and soft tissues beneath the chin to tighten firmly into place.

Shurink aids in tightening the double chin and jawline area,

further reinforcing the benefits of liposuction and thread lifting.

Especially through this multi-layered approach—

removing fat + lifting the line + tightening the skin—

a remarkably natural and sleek jawline contour can be achieved.

Why combine Double Chin Liposuction + Thread Lifting + Shurink?

Each procedure addresses a distinct aspect of the problem.

1. Liposound Liposuction

→ Eliminates redundant submental fat

2. Thread Lifting

→ Lifts and re-drapes sagging tissue and the jawline

3. Shurink

→ Tightly contracts skin and connective tissue

Therefore, combining these three treatments appropriately yields

a far more three-dimensional and dramatic jawline refinement than merely reducing double chin fat alone.

This patient was also able to achieve a far more cohesive, complete transformation

by addressing the entire jawline from multiple dimensions rather than just reducing fat volume.

Before & After Changes | From a bulky jawline to a smooth, sharp jaw contour

Before surgery, the submental fat made the boundary between the chin and neck look indistinct and heavy.

In particular, the bulging double chin seen on the lateral profile was a major cosmetic concern.

After surgery, as the excess fat was meticulously sculpted away,

the boundary between the jaw and neck became distinctly crisp,

and by combining thread lifting and Shurink, the skin and jawline tightened smoothly against the underlying contours.

✔ Submental fat reduction

✔ Improved definition between jaw and neck

✔ A much sharper jawline

✔ Smooth, continuous profile line

✔ An overall smaller and more defined facial contour

Rather than merely reducing volume beneath the chin,

the entire lower face was neatly transformed, which is the most remarkable outcome of this case.

Double chin liposuction is recommended for those who:

Cannot lose submental fat despite diet and exercise

Are in their 20s or 30s but have a bulky, undefined jawline

Have an unclear boundary between the jaw and neck

Feel self-conscious about a double chin in profile view

Feel their face looks wider or heavier than it actually is

Desire a crisp, defined V-line

Want dramatic results by combining liposuction with lifting

Why choose VIBE Plastic Surgery for double chin liposuction?

Double chin liposuction is not just a procedure to remove fat.

It must be performed while evaluating overall facial proportions, the jawline structure, and skin elasticity simultaneously.

VIBE Plastic Surgery analyzes each patient's unique submental fat distribution and skin condition,

creating customized jawline contouring plans centered on Liposound liposuction,

combined with thread lifting and Shurink when needed.

Above all, Liposound at VIBE Plastic Surgery approaches treatment not as simple fat suction, but as sculpting the jawline itself.

Instead of extracting as much fat as possible without discrimination,

it is vital to determine exactly where and how much fat must be removed to create the most natural, crisp line.

For this patient in their 20s as well, combining "Liposound Double Chin Liposuction + Thread Lifting + Shurink"

addressed fat removal, sagging tissue, and skin tightening all at once,

producing a dramatically sleeker, more refined jawline contour.

If you are struggling with a blunt double chin and an undefined jawline,

rather than focusing solely on fat removal,

we recommend exploring how liposuction and lifting can be synergistically combined for your specific facial anatomy.

From double chin liposuction and jawline liposuction to Liposound, thread lifting, and Shurink—

achieving the sharpest, most natural jawline that best suits you

requires precise diagnosis and delicate design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone in their 20s develop a double chin regardless of body weight?

Yes, it can develop regardless of weight or body type. Even in their 20s, genetic fat distribution or variations in skin and subcutaneous fat thickness can cause fat beneath the chin to protrude, creating a blunt boundary between the chin and neck.

What are the key features of Liposound double chin liposuction?

It is a specialized liposuction method designed to sculpt jawline fat with exceptional precision. Rather than extracting excessive amounts of fat indiscriminately, it designs a natural profile by comprehensively evaluating jawbone structure, skin elasticity, and the cervicomental angle.

Why combine thread lifting with double chin liposuction?

It is done to lift lax, descended tissue and further smooth the jawline. After reducing volume via Liposound, applying thread lifting to reposition sagging tissue completes a crisp contour that liposuction alone might not achieve.

What benefit does Shurink provide when combined with liposuction?

It tightly contracts and adheres the skin to underlying tissues. Undergoing Shurink after fat removal enhances skin elasticity, helping the submental skin adhere smoothly and tightly against the newly sculpted jawline.

Who is the ideal candidate for this combined double chin procedure?

It is recommended for individuals whose double chin persists despite dieting, or those with an indistinct jaw-neck boundary. It is also ideal for anyone bothered by a blunt profile contour who seeks simultaneous fat reduction and skin firming.
