Done together with facial liposuction
After removing fat under the chin, we go straight on to Renuvion through the same entry point.

Face & Neck Renuvion
Works from under the skin to tighten loose skin under the chin and on the neck. It’s sometimes combined with facial liposuction.

Point 1. Fat and skin
We work out whether a double chin is from fat or from skin
The area under the chin can look saggy because fat has built up, because the skin and the tissue beneath it have loosened, or both. If there’s a lot of fat, we remove it with facial liposuction. If the skin has loosened, we use Renuvion to shrink the tissue beneath.

Point 2. Cleared use
Cleared for loose skin in the neck and under the chin
In July 2022, Renuvion received FDA 510(k) clearance in the US for improving the appearance of loose skin in the neck and under the chin. In the clinical study behind that clearance, 82.5% of 65 patients were judged to have improvement in loose skin at 6 months.

Medical note
Face & Neck Renuvion in detail
From here, we explain how the surgery works, recovery and what to watch for in more detail. It’s written to the standards Dr. Oh uses when he sees patients.
How we perform this surgery
02
We work around the nerves in the neck
Nerves that move the facial muscles run through the neck and under the chin. We plan the range the handpiece moves within so it stays clear of them.
Who this surgery suits, and who it doesn’t
- The skin under your chin or on your neck has loosened
- You want your double chin fat removed but are also worried about sagging
- You’d like to refine your neck and jawline without incisions
When we don’t recommend it
- You have a lot of excess neck skin that folds (a lift with incisions may suit you better)
- You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
Precautions
- Rarely, the corners of the mouth may move less when you smile (the nerve to the muscles around the mouth is temporarily weakened). In the neck and under-the-chin study, this happened in 6.2% of patients, and all recovered on their own.
- The area may feel firm or itchy for a while.
- We’ll tell you how long to wear a compression band after your examination.
Results and recovery vary from person to person. Whether a treatment suits you is decided after Dr. Oh examines you in person.
Face & Neck Renuvion: frequently asked questions
Can’t I just have liposuction for my double chin?
If fat is the main cause and your skin is firm, liposuction alone is enough. If your skin is loose too, sagging may show more once the fat is removed, so we recommend combining it with Renuvion.
Will it smooth out neck wrinkles too?
Renuvion tightens loose skin by pulling from underneath. It doesn’t smooth out horizontal lines on the neck.
