Overview

What are double chin injections?

A double chin is usually a pocket of submental fat that sits between the chin and the neck, blurring the jawline even in people who are not overweight. Genetics, age and posture all play a part, and it rarely responds to diet alone. Double chin injections are lipolytic injections: a solution, most often based on deoxycholic acid or a phosphatidylcholine blend, is injected directly into the fat pad. The agent disrupts fat-cell membranes, the body gradually metabolises the released fat, and the pocket shrinks over the following weeks.

The technique is non-surgical and leaves no scar, but it is a genuine medical procedure with a few days of swelling, and it needs a doctor who can identify the fat pad and avoid the nerve that runs along the jaw. Results build across a short series rather than from a single visit.

How double chin injections work at Oaro

At Oaro Dermatology Clinic in Apgujeong, Seoul, a board-certified dermatologist first pinches and measures the submental fat and checks whether skin laxity or a receding chin is contributing. The fat pad is marked in a grid, numbing cream is applied, and the lipolytic solution is injected into the fat layer only. For patients whose profile needs more than fat reduction, we may combine the injections with chin fillers to project the chin, or with Thermage FLX or Ultherapy to tighten the neck skin as the fat reduces. Our double chin treatment page compares every option, and the injectable treatments hub lists related injectables. Written aftercare and a care notebook entry follow each session.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many double chin injection sessions do I need?

Most people need 2–4 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Small fat pads may need fewer.

Are the results permanent?

Treated fat cells are cleared and do not return, but remaining cells can enlarge with weight gain, so stable weight protects the result.

How much swelling should I expect?

Noticeable swelling for 2–3 days and mild fullness for up to a week. Scarves and high collars cover it easily.

Is it safe?

Yes when performed by an experienced doctor who stays within the fat layer. Rare risks include temporary numbness or an uneven smile if the marginal mandibular nerve is affected.

Will my skin sag after the fat is gone?

With good elasticity the skin retracts. If laxity is present we recommend combining with a tightening treatment.
