On Clinic's Contouring Injection: A Case Study of Improved Jawline After Rapid Weight Loss
A patient who visited On Clinic had lost 15kg in just one month through dieting, but was deeply concerned that her face had not significantly reduced in size. She reported significant stress due to severe skin sagging and a double chin caused by fat in the jaw area. She had previously undergone contouring injections and laser lifting treatments about three times, but experienced severe pain and prolonged swelling, even being told her face looked heavier, leading to great disappointment as she saw no results.
Transformation Begins with Personalized Consultation and Precise Diagnosis
The patient visited On Clinic with a final hope, having heard positive reviews about its lifting and contouring injections. Through a 1:1 consultation with Dr. Donggeun Lee, her skin condition and the cause of her double chin were meticulously analyzed. It was diagnosed that not only was there a significant amount of fat, but also considerable sagging due to reduced skin elasticity from rapid weight loss. Dr. Lee proposed a customized treatment plan, considering the patient's face size, double chin volume, and degree of skin sagging.
“If you want to address your double chin more definitively, increasing the dosage slightly is fine. For example, if we typically use 10cc, 13cc to 14cc can also be effective. Ultrasound treatment is beneficial. There's fat volume, but there's also the appearance of slightly sagging skin. We need to firmly lift and pull up the sagging skin to achieve the results you're hoping for.”
On Clinic's Contouring Injection: Reducing Pain, Maximizing Efficacy
Dr. Donggeun Lee performed On Clinic's unique contouring injection treatment to address the patient's individual concerns. Particularly, considering her previous experience with pain and swelling, the patient's comfort was prioritized. Before the procedure, meticulous design was performed to accurately identify areas of concentrated fat and skin sagging, and the injection volume and ingredient blend were adjusted accordingly.
- Personalized Formulation: The blend of steroids and other ingredients is adjusted according to each patient's skin condition and fat volume, minimizing side effects and maximizing efficacy.
- Cannula Use: For the double chin area, a needle or a long cannula is used to spread the medication widely, promoting more natural and effective fat breakdown.
- Combined Ultrasound Lifting: To improve both fat volume and sagging skin, ultrasound lifting (e.g., Linearge) is combined with the contouring injection, creating synergy by tightening the skin while the injection reduces fat.
During the procedure, the patient expressed surprise and satisfaction, saying, “It really didn't hurt at all. I expected to feel something, but even the anesthetic injection didn't hurt.” On Clinic is committed to minimizing patients' pain burden and ensuring a comfortable treatment experience.
Treatment Results and Patient Satisfaction
Immediately after the procedure, the patient observed a significant reduction in the volume of her double chin and a much clearer jawline. Thanks to the lifting treatment, the elasticity of her sagging skin also improved, resulting in an overall smaller face and a more defined V-line. The patient was very pleased to achieve satisfying results without the pain and side effect concerns of previous treatments.
On Clinic deeply understands the unique facial features and concerns of each patient, providing optimal solutions to bring about natural and beautiful transformations.
