Concerns · Jawline, V-Line & Double Chin
Why this concern develops
This is general education, not a diagnosis. We assess what applies to you at your consultation.
Looser skin along the lower face
As skin loses firmness, the line between your jaw and neck can look softer, even when your weight has not changed.
Fat distribution
Genetics partly shape fullness beneath the chin or in the lower cheeks, and it can persist regardless of overall weight.
Muscle shape
A prominent masseter (the chewing muscle) can add width to the lower face. This is a different concern from skin laxity.
Posture and habits
Looking down at screens often is commonly mentioned as a contributor to how the chin and neck look, though it is rarely the only factor.
When to consider treatment
- A double chin or a softened jawline bothers you in photos or from certain angles.
- Fullness in the lower cheeks makes your face look heavier than you would like.
- You want a more defined facial contour without surgery.
- You are unsure whether your concern is skin laxity, fat, or muscle.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between treating skin, fat, and muscle in the jawline?
Each one is usually approached differently. Lifting or tightening devices address skin laxity, fat-focused options address localized fullness, and toxin treatments address muscle bulk. A consultation helps identify which applies to you.
Can these treatments be combined?
Sometimes. Some people combine approaches, for example a lifting device with an injectable. Dr. Yeom decides whether a combination makes sense after assessing your face.
Do I need injections to get a V-line?
Not necessarily. Several options here are non-injectable, such as ultrasound, radiofrequency, and microwave devices.
