Double Chin Removal
Removing double-chin fat for a cleaner jawline
This surgery removes, rather than suctions, the fat behind a double chin. Loose skin is secured together with the muscle, so it addresses sagging skin as well as fat.
Surgery takes about 1 hour under sedation, and recovery takes about 5–7 days. If you want a slimmer jawline, we also suggest combining it with a thread lift.

What is double chin removal at KOKO Plastic Surgery?
Instead of simply suctioning the fat that causes a double chin, this method removes the fat itself.
The loose skin of the double chin is also stitched to the muscle so the two bond. This means it refines sagging skin as well as removing fat.
Dr. Cho Bae-jung, our representative director and a board-certified plastic surgeon with long experience in facial surgery, performs the surgery himself.
Double chin removal with a thread lift
If you want to remove a double chin and slim your jawline, we suggest adding a V-line thread lift.
Fat is removed from the double chin while threads lift tissue that has dropped, aiming for a cleaner V-line.
Risks and side effects
Results and recovery vary from person to person. The main risks and side effects are:
- Swelling and bruising after surgery or treatment
- Infection or inflammation
- Asymmetry, or a result that differs from what you pictured
- Scarring (when an incision is made)
- Numbness or changes in sensation (often temporary)
If anything concerns you, you can still reach us on WhatsApp after you fly home.
