The causes of a bulging, sagging double chin vary and may include not only excess subcutaneous fat, but also firm clusters of fat attached above and below the platysma muscle, as well as lax or separated muscles. Because of these multiple causes, liposuction alone may not provide sufficient improvement.

Through a relatively small 1–3 cm incision, HERSHE Plastic Surgery combines liposuction, removal of clustered fat, and Double Chin Muscle Tightening to correct and firmly secure the under-chin muscles, addressing multiple causes together.

DEFINE & CONTOUR

By considering both the muscle and fat structures that contribute to a double chin,
the blurred boundary between the jawline and neck is refined to help create a more defined jawline and balanced facial proportions.

PERSONALIZED SOLUTION

CASE 1

Double Chin Muscle Tightening


A procedure that tightens lax under-chin muscles (platysma), with HERSHE Plastic Surgery also including double-chin liposuction and removal of clustered fat.

Before and after
BEFORE 1 Month After
  • If the area beneath the chin sags and the boundary between the jaw and neck is unclear
  • If liposuction or fat-dissolving injections provided limited improvement
CASE 2

Double Chin Muscle Tightening + Mini Contour Lift

If there is significant fat and sagging beneath both sides of the jawline because the boundary between the jawline and under-chin area is unclear, sub-jawline liposuction and thread lifting are combined to create a slimmer transition between the under-chin area and jawline.

Before and after
BEFORE 2 Months After
  • If under-chin fat is broadly and thickly distributed along the jawline
  • If the skin along the jawline is sagging or lacks elasticity
CASE 3

Double Chin Muscle Tightening + Mini Contour Lift + Chin Filler

While improving the under-chin contour, chin filler or fat grafting for a retruded chin can be used to lengthen the chin tip, helping balance the length and angle of the jawline.

Before and after
BEFORE 2 Weeks After
  • If a short chin makes the double chin appear more prominent
  • If the boundary between the under-chin area and jawline is unclear
CASE 4

Double Chin Mini Facelift

Double Chin Mini Facelift is a combined procedure in which a jawline mini facelift is performed together with Double Chin Muscle Tightening, tightening and securing the under-chin muscles to improve the double chin while also broadly improving the jawline, lower face, and neck contour.

*This is an illustrative image created to aid understanding.

Because facial anatomy and the causes of a double chin vary between individuals, a personalized diagnosis is essential. HERSHE’s medical team carefully evaluates each patient’s facial structure, skin condition, muscle laxity, and fat distribution to develop an individualized surgical plan.

A double chin is often caused by a combination of excess fat, weakened platysma muscles, and sagging skin. HERSHE addresses the fat beneath the chin layer by layer before tightening and securing the weakened muscles, helping create a more defined jawline and smoother chin-to-neck contour.

Double Chin Liposuction, Starting with Subcutaneous Fat

Double chin liposuction removes accumulated subcutaneous fat beneath the chin using a manual liposuction technique, helping improve mild double-chin concerns.

Removing Clustered Fat, a Cause of a Heavy Double Chin

Removing Clustered Fat, a Cause of a Heavy Double Chin

Preplatysmal fat can form dense clusters along the platysma beneath the subcutaneous layer, contributing to a firm and prominent double chin. Because these deeper fat deposits cannot be removed through liposuction alone, they are carefully excised through a small 1–3 cm incision beneath the chin.

Removing Clustered Fat, a Cause of a Heavy Double Chin

Platysma Muscle Correction and Binding for a Firmer Under-Chin Contour

The platysma extends from beneath the chin along the neck. When it becomes weakened or separated, the area beneath the chin may appear loose and less defined. After removing excess fat, the platysma is brought together, tightened, and secured using a muscle-binding technique to create a firmer, smoother chin-to-neck contour.

Double Chin Muscle Tightening Surgical Process

The causes of a double chin vary depending on fat, muscle, and skin condition. After analyzing each individual's causes, HERSHE
combines fat removal with under-chin muscle correction to pursue a more defined jawline and improved under-chin-to-neck contour.

  • Q.What concerns can Double Chin Muscle Tightening improve?

  • A.Double Chin Muscle Tightening addresses lax under-chin muscles (platysma) together with deeper fat, helping improve double-chin concerns that are difficult to correct. The goal is a more defined jawline and smoother under-chin-to-neck contour.

  • Q.How large is the incision for Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.A small incision of approximately 1–3 cm is made beneath the chin. Through this incision, deeper fat is removed and the under-chin muscles are corrected. The incision is designed along the natural crease beneath the chin.

  • Q.Is Double Chin Muscle Tightening painful?

  • A.The surgery is performed under sedation anesthesia, so little to no pain is felt during the procedure. After surgery, some patients may experience tightness, soreness, or swelling, which generally improves gradually.

  • Q.When are the sutures removed after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.Sutures are generally removed on day 7 after surgery. The follow-up schedule may be adjusted depending on recovery.

  • Q.Do I need to wear a compression band after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.Yes. We generally recommend wearing it for about two weeks. A compression band may help manage early swelling and stabilize the tissue.

  • Q.When can I resume daily activities after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.Recovery varies by individual, but light daily activities can generally be resumed after about one week. Swelling and bruising may be most noticeable for several days after surgery and then gradually subside. Exercise or strenuous activity is recommended after about 2–3 weeks, and the exact recovery period may vary depending on the individual.

  • Q.When can I resume daily activities after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.Light daily activities can usually be resumed relatively quickly, while exercise or strenuous activity is recommended after about 2–3 weeks. The exact timing may vary depending on recovery, so it is important to follow your medical team's guidance.

  • Q.When can I eat after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.You can eat immediately after surgery, but soft foods are recommended for the first 1–2 days to support recovery.

  • Q.Are scars noticeable after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A.The under-chin incision is small, approximately 1–3 cm, and is designed in a relatively inconspicuous location. The scar may gradually fade during recovery, although visibility can vary depending on the individual's skin condition.

  • Q.Are there any side effects after Double Chin Muscle Tightening?

  • A. Swelling, bruising, and temporary tightness may commonly occur and usually improve gradually during recovery. Some individuals may experience inflammation or reduced sensation, so it is important to follow the medical team's instructions carefully.
