A bulging, sagging double chin can have many causes beyond excess subcutaneous fat, including firm clusters of fat attached like grapes above and below the platysma and lax or separated muscles. For this reason, liposuction alone is often insufficient.

Through a relatively small 1–3 cm incision, HERSHE combines liposuction and removal of clustered deep fat with double-chin muscle tightening, correcting and firmly fixing the muscles to address multiple causes together.

DEFINE & CONTOUR

By considering both the muscle and fat structures that cause a double chin,
we refine the blurred jawline and neck boundary to create a defined jawline and balanced facial proportions.

PERSONALIZED SOLUTION

A solution tailored to each facial shape

CASE 1

Double-Chin Muscle Tightening

A procedure that firmly corrects the sagging platysma beneath the chin,
HERSHE also performs double-chin liposuction
and removal of clustered deep fat.

*The images below are actual before-and-after photos of a patient who underwent double-chin muscle tightening.

Before and after
BEFORE Day of treatment
  • When the area beneath the chin sags and the boundary between the chin and neck is unclear
  • When results after liposuction or fat-dissolving injections have been insufficient
CASE 2

Double-Chin Muscle Tightening + Mini Contour Lift

When there is excess fat and sagging beneath both sides of the jawline
Because the boundary between the jawline and under-chin area is unclear, sub-jawline liposuction
is combined with a thread lift to create a slimmer connection between the under-chin area and jawline.

*The images below are actual before-and-after photos of a patient who underwent double-chin muscle tightening.

Before and after
BEFORE Day of treatment
  • When fat beneath the chin is broadly and thickly distributed to the jawline
  • When the skin along the jawline is sagging or lacks elasticity
CASE 3

Double-Chin Muscle Tightening + Mini Contour Lift + Chin Filler

While improving the contour beneath the chin, chin filler or
fat grafting for a recessed chin can extend the chin tip
to balance the length and angle of the jawline.

*The images below are actual before-and-after photos of a patient who underwent double-chin muscle tightening.

Before and after
BEFORE 6 months after treatment
  • When a short chin makes the double chin appear more prominent
  • When the boundary between the under-chin area and jawline is unclear
CASE 4

Double-Chin Mini Lift

A double-chin mini lift combines double-chin muscle tightening
with a jawline mini lift.
By tightening and fixing the muscles beneath the chin, it addresses double-chin concerns while
broadly improving the jawline, lower face, and neck line.

Before and after
BEFORE 2 months after treatment
  • Improve both double-chin muscles and jawline sagging
  • Improve the overall under-chin contour from the double chin to the neck line

HERSHE Double-Chin Muscle Tightening Is Different

Every Stage of Fat Removal Included
HERSHE All-in-One Double-Chin Muscle Tightening

Because every face and cause of a double chin is different, personalized assessment is essential. At HERSHE, a medical team with extensive experience in lifting and anti-aging surgery carefully analyzes facial structure, skin condition, and fat distribution to create an individualized surgical plan.

A double chin often results from multiple factors, including fat, a sagging platysma, and loose skin. HERSHE double-chin muscle tightening removes fat from the area in stages and then firmly corrects the sagging muscles beneath the chin to help create a more defined jawline and smoother chin-to-neck line.

Double-Chin Liposuction: Addressing Subcutaneous Fat First

Double-chin liposuction uses manual liposuction to remove subcutaneous fat accumulated beneath the chin, 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

Firm fat clusters attached like grapes to the broad neck muscle behind the subcutaneous fat (pre-platysmal fat) cannot be removed by suction and can create a firm double chin. These fat deposits are extracted individually through a small 1–3 cm incision beneath the chin.

Firming Even the Sagging Muscles Beneath the Chin,
Double-Chin Muscle Tightening

The platysma is a broad neck muscle extending from beneath the chin to the neck. It may sag on its own, or fat clusters can accumulate inside and push the muscle outward, causing further sagging. Double-chin muscle tightening removes these inner fat clusters and then retightens the sagging platysma.

Double-Chin Muscle Tightening Procedure

The causes of a double chin vary depending on fat, muscle, and skin condition. After analyzing each patient's individual causes, HERSHE
combines fat removal with correction of the muscles beneath the chin to create a more defined jawline and improve the chin-to-neck line.
Consultation
Consultation and Personalized 1:1 Assessment
Through preoperative consultation and design, the facial structure, causes of the double chin, and condition of the jawline and neck are analyzed to determine a personalized surgical plan and incision range.

Design
Double-Chin Fat Removal and Muscle Tightening
Through a small 1–3 cm incision beneath the chin, double-chin liposuction and pre-platysmal fat removal are performed, and the sagging platysma is tightened to improve the double-chin contour.

Procedure
Jawline Mini Lift and Contour Improvement
An incision is made along a natural line from in front of the ear to behind the ear. The SMAS layer is then dissected to improve sagging of the jawline, lower face, and upper neck.

Precise Suturing and Recovery Care
The incision is then precisely sutured, and staples may be used if necessary to support tissue stability and recovery.

  • Q.What concerns can double-chin muscle tightening improve?

  • A.Double-chin muscle tightening addresses the sagging platysma and deep-layer fat together to help improve a stubborn double chin. The goal is to create a more defined jawline and smoother chin-to-neck line.

  • 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, deep-layer fat is removed and the muscles beneath the chin 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 you will feel little to no pain during the procedure. A pulling sensation, stiffness, or swelling may occur afterward depending on the individual, but usually improves gradually.

  • Q.When are sutures removed after double-chin muscle tightening?

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

  • Q.Do I need to wear a compression band after double-chin muscle tightening?

  • A.Yes. Wearing it for approximately 2 weeks is generally recommended. The compression band can help manage early swelling and stabilize the tissue.

  • Q.When can I return to daily activities after double-chin muscle tightening?

  • A.Recovery varies, but light daily activities are generally possible after about 1 week. Swelling and bruising may be most noticeable during the first few days and gradually improve. Exercise or strenuous activity is recommended after approximately 2–3 weeks, although the exact recovery time varies by individual.

  • Q.When can I return to daily activities after double-chin muscle tightening?

  • A.Light daily activities can be resumed relatively quickly, while exercise and strenuous activity are recommended after approximately 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.Will the scar be noticeable after double-chin muscle tightening?

  • A.The incision beneath the chin is small, approximately 1–3 cm, and is designed in a relatively inconspicuous location. The scar may gradually fade during recovery, although this varies depending on skin condition.

  • Q.Are there any side effects after double-chin muscle tightening?

  • A. Swelling, bruising, and a temporary pulling sensation may occur and usually improve gradually during recovery. Inflammation or reduced sensation can occur depending on the individual, so it is important to follow the medical team's instructions carefully.
