Overview

What is double chin treatment?

A double chin, or submental fullness, has more than one cause. Some patients carry a discrete pad of fat beneath the chin regardless of weight. Others have skin and platysma muscle that have loosened with age so the jaw-neck angle blurs. A short or receding chin can also make a normal neck look full. Effective treatment depends on which of these dominates, and surgical liposuction is rarely the first option in Seoul today because non-surgical methods are precise and need little recovery.

Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong is an advisory clinic for Agnes and Double Tite radiofrequency, which are widely used in Korea for localised fat and tightening under the chin.

How double chin treatment works at Oaro

The dermatologist pinches and images the area to separate fat from laxity and checks chin projection. For a defined fat pad, Agnes RF delivers heat through insulated micro-needles directly into the fat layer while sparing the skin, typically over one to three sessions; Agnes Double Tite adds tightening of the overlying skin. Smaller pockets may be treated with fat-dissolving injections over several visits. When loose skin is the main problem, Ultherapy, Thermage FLX or Shrink HIFU is used, sometimes with a neck thread lift for support. If the chin is short, chin enhancement with filler may do more for the profile than fat reduction alone. Each step and setting is recorded in your care notebook.

Your visit

What to expect

1. Consultation & diagnosis

The dermatologist assesses fat thickness, skin laxity and chin projection, photographs the profile and recommends Agnes RF, injections, lifting energy or a combination with expected sessions and recovery.

2. Treatment

Agnes RF is done under local anaesthetic in about 30 minutes; the area swells for several days. Fat-dissolving injections take 15 minutes after numbing and cause swelling and tenderness for about a week. Lifting devices take 30–45 minutes with minimal downtime.

3. Aftercare & follow-up

Written aftercare includes a compression garment for some treatments. Results develop over 4–12 weeks and are reviewed with photographs before any further session.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is double chin treatment permanent?

Fat cells removed by Agnes RF or injections do not return, but remaining cells can enlarge if weight rises; tightening results last 12–18 months.

Which is better, Agnes RF or fat-dissolving injections?

Agnes RF suits a defined fat pad and also tightens; injections suit small pockets and are lower cost per session.

How much swelling will I have?

Noticeable swelling for 3–7 days is normal and can be covered with a scarf or high collar.

Can I have treatment during a short trip to Seoul?

Yes; most patients schedule it early in the trip to allow swelling to settle before flying.

Will my skin sag after fat removal?

Not usually when laxity is assessed first; tightening is added if the skin needs support.
