Direct answer

The approach to reducing submental fat is different from the approach to handling sagging skin. In a V-OLET consultation, the amount of fat, skin sagging, and jaw structure should be evaluated separately.

Before your consultation

  • What is the evidence for submental fat injections?
  • Are people with a small double chin also candidates for injections?
  • Should it be done simultaneously with skin tightening?

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

What is the evidence for submental fat injections?

Deoxycholic acid studies evaluate the reduction of submental fat. They do not provide evidence that loose skin or jaw structure can all be corrected. It is accurate to distinguish whether the products used in studies and the prescribed products have the same approved indications.

Are people with a small double chin also candidates for injections?

You need to differentiate between fat folds that appear when the chin is bent and fat that remains in a relaxed position. Even with low body weight, the jaw structure can blur the contours. Don’t self-diagnose based only on the thickness you feel; consult about the skin condition that will remain after fat reduction.

Should it be done simultaneously with skin tightening?

There are reasons to evaluate fat and elasticity separately, but not everyone needs both treatments done at the same time. You may decide on additional treatments after seeing what changes occur first. Understanding the goals and sequence of each procedure is more important than the package price.

Does swelling mean it is effective?

Swelling after the injection and actual fat reduction are different phenomena. Do not assume that more swelling means better results. Get guidance on the expected course of swelling, how to contact us if pain or asymmetry occurs, and make sure you allow time for recovery before important photos.

Will my weight also decrease?

Local contour treatments should not be interpreted as weight loss treatments. If you are experiencing significant weight changes, discuss your maintenance plan alongside the current condition of your face. Comparing photos of your chin area with the same weight and posture makes it easier to evaluate the local changes targeted by the injection.

What should I prepare for a consultation at Dongseong-ro V-OLET?

If you are looking into V-OLET on Dongseong-ro in Daegu, prepare your recent weight changes, history of submandibular treatments, and the dates when recovery is possible. You can check V-OLET in the official list, and the individual number of sessions and dosage should be explained after examination.
