The approach, at a glance.
These consultation points summarize procedure-specific descriptions from the official Korean detail page. Suitability, technique, risks and recovery require individual clinical assessment.
Fat below the chin
The source describes removing submental fat by suction to address volume in that area.
Muscle-tightening component
The source distinguishes fat removal from an additional muscle-tightening component.
Equipment and scope
LSSA equipment is named; the fat distribution, laxity and actual treatment scope need individual assessment.
Discuss incisions and scars
The muscle-tightening FAQ describes an incision below the chin; clarify incisions, scars and recovery for the proposed plan.
How the approach works.
Clair describes liposuction beneath the chin with muscle tightening. Muscle tightening involves an incision. Discuss incision placement, scarring and the recovery plan with the surgeon.
External Under Chin Assessment
An illustrative assessment of superficial tissue beneath the chin. It does not depict liposuction, muscle tightening, an injection, or the postoperative result.
Skin and underlying soft tissue are assessed together. This external view provides anatomical context; it does not display muscle depth, a treatment plane or a procedure result.
Planning access beneath the chin
Fat removal and muscle tightening are separate parts of the plan. Clair’s marked image helps explain access locations; it is a planning image, not a patient result.
Access and incision planning
The image marks access near the earlobes and beneath the chin. Muscle tightening includes an under-chin incision, so the plan should cover incision position, scar care and recovery.
Illustrative marks indicate possible access near the earlobes and beneath the chin. Incision placement varies with the surgical plan and should be discussed with the surgeon.

Recovery, risks & limits.
Some reactions can be temporary; complications can also require treatment. This is not an exhaustive list.
Bleeding, infection, swelling, scars and anaesthesia complications must be discussed.
Asymmetry, altered sensation, poor wound healing and persistent pain can occur.
Neck surgery can involve rare nerve injury causing lower-lip weakness. Ask about this risk and the specific risks of fat removal and muscle tightening.
Your timeline is individual.
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Recovery and results vary. Your clinician should explain the procedure-specific risks and aftercare before you decide.
If you develop severe or worsening symptoms after treatment, seek medical attention rather than waiting for an online reply.
Your questions, answered.
Is every part of the procedure incision-free?
No. The official FAQ describes an incision beneath the chin for muscle tightening. Ask the surgeon to explain the access needed for each part of your plan.
How long should I stay in Korea?
Procedure time, anaesthesia, follow-up and return travel depend on your examination and the final plan. Confirm them before paying for flights or accommodation.
Can I choose the procedure before an examination?
You can explore your options first. The final plan requires an examination, a discussion of alternatives and informed consent. Choosing no treatment is also an option.
How is the cost decided?
The clinic confirms the proposed method, treatment area and product or equipment before giving an individual quote. Ask what is included in follow-up care.
What should I disclose before treatment?
Tell the clinician about previous procedures, implants, medication, allergies and health conditions. Bring available details of earlier injections or surgery.
