Petit Procedure Reviews

After deliberating for years, Ultherapy 300 shots worked best for my double chin

I am slim overall, but my double chin was unusually severe and stressful. Losing weight did not reduce it, and in side-view photos my chin and neck almost looked attached, which was very stressful T_T Friends recommended surgery such as double-chin tightening, but I felt uneasy about putting a knife to my face, so I kept deliberating. Then I happened to see a post saying that even in thin people, a severe double chin can be caused by salivary glands, developed muscles, fat, or poor skin elasticity. I wanted a proper diagnosis and treatment from a board-certified plastic surgeon who understood facial bone structure. I had collected clinics known for Ultherapy, and found [Clinic A] in Apgujeong, where a board-certified plastic surgeon personally handled everything from consultation to treatment. It was near Dosan Park. Before treatment, the doctor checked my double chin with ultrasound. I had worried that muscle or salivary glands might be making my chin look thick, but the doctor said fat was the main cause and my skin elasticity was also somewhat poor. I therefore had 300 Ultherapy shots focused on my lower face and double chin. Ultherapy itself has ultrasound built into the device, so most places do not perform a separate preliminary diagnosis, but this clinic examined my facial contours and fat layer in real time with ultrasound, then designed the treatment. The doctor also explained my bone structure, jawline, fat, and muscles in detail, which made me trust the clinic. They even caught my asymmetry perfectly! After treatment, my face stayed swollen and looked square, so I worried that it might not be working. But after exactly one month, I am very satisfied. My area under the chin used to look thick, and the line from my chin to my neck was blunt. Now the area under my chin looks much neater and my jawline is more defined. Most of all, I love that my previously bumpy lower face looks smoother. I never knew I had a jawline like this lol. I heard elasticity will improve further, so I am looking forward to it, and my skin texture has actually improved a lot too. There are fat-dissolving injections and surgeries such as double-chin tightening, but if your chin looks thick because of fat and poor elasticity like mine, it may be worth getting an accurate ultrasound diagnosis and discussing whether treatment such as Ultherapy is suitable.
