Budget

Under-chin injection, priced

What does a double chin fat dissolving injection cost in Gangnam, Seoul?

The short answer

Rewind prices the under-chin injection per appointment, against one published figure for a 15cc volume of its contour injection. A double chin is rarely finished in a single visit: the clinic's own material says the clearest change usually follows two to three sessions, depending on how much fat is there. The realistic budget is the per-appointment figure multiplied by the number of sessions your examination supports, with value-added tax on top and no anaesthesia fee, because none is used for this injection.

Source: Rewind's Korean treatment page and published rate list for the contour injection. The figures themselves sit in the pricing section further down.

Two numbers therefore matter more than the rate on the list. The first is how many appointments your chin will take, which only an examination of the fullness can estimate. The second is whether the examination recommends an injection at all. A chin that is full because of a salivary gland, deep fat under the muscle or a loose muscle band does not get smaller with a lipolytic, however many times it is paid for.

Timing is the third thing people ask about. The first days after an appointment are swollen, and swelling makes the chin look fuller before it looks smaller. Rewind's event material follows a treated face immediately afterwards, at ten days, at thirteen days and at one month, and labels those images as illustrations. That sequence is a fair guide to when a chin can be judged, which is also when the question of paying for a second session comes up.

Lines

What goes on the quotation

The four lines a double chin budget can contain

A quotation for the under-chin area at Rewind is assembled from the Korean rate list item by item. Most visitors from abroad need only the first line. The others appear when the examination finds a reason for them, and each carries its own figure.

line 01
The 15cc appointment
The published volume of the contour injection, priced per appointment. For a modest under-chin pocket this single line is the whole of the first visit's bill.
line 02
The number of sessions
The multiplier. Rewind's page puts the clearest change after two to three sessions, so a sensible budget allows for that range and treats the first appointment as the start of it.
line 03
Muscle at the jaw angle
When part of the width along the lower face is chewing muscle, a botulinum toxin line is added at its own rate. The Korean event menu pairs the two treatments for this reason.
line 04
A larger volume
The Korean menu also lists a 60cc volume of the same injection. It is quoted at consultation, where the doctor decides whether the area justifies it.

None of these lines absorbs another. A visit that covers the chin and the jaw muscle shows two figures, and a plan that needs three appointments is three times the first line, not a discounted bundle agreed at the door.

Arithmetic

From examination to figure

How a double chin quotation is worked out at Rewind

The figure is not negotiated. What gets decided at the appointment is which lines apply to your chin, and that is settled by examination before any money is discussed.

01Examine

The fullness is read first, then priced

Rewind lists an ultrasound scan among its assessment tools, used to read fat thickness, deeper fat and the salivary gland. If what sits under your chin is mainly gland or deep fat below the platysma, the injection is not quoted, and the budget conversation moves elsewhere.

02Volume

One published volume per appointment

The contour injection is listed at 15cc per appointment. How that volume is spread across the pocket is a clinical decision made on the day, and it does not change the figure you pay.

03Course

Sessions are estimated, then confirmed one by one

An estimate of two to three sessions follows the clinic's own guidance. Each further appointment is quoted against the same published line once the previous one has been reviewed, so you are never committed to a count before your chin has responded.

04Review

The chin is compared ahead of the next payment

Photographs taken at the clinic are repeated at the review. If the outline has not moved after two appointments, the next thing you pay for is a second look at the diagnosis.

Why here

Why a surgeon's quotation for a double chin is often the smaller one

Most of the cost of a double chin treatment is repetition. A plan that starts from the wrong diagnosis repeats the most. The three positions below keep the total close to what your chin actually needs.

01Scope

The doctor also performs under-chin surgery

Dr. Jonghwan Choi operates on the under-chin region, so he can tell a pocket that suits a syringe from a pad that does not. When the volume in front of him is beyond what a short course can reach, he says so at the first visit, before several appointments have been bought.

02Sequence

One appointment is sold at a time

A second session is priced after the first has been reviewed. That order protects a patient from prepaying for a course that the chin may not need, and it keeps the decision with the person who can see the result.

03Clarity

Every line appears on paper

The contour injection, a jaw muscle line and any larger volume are written separately at their published rates. Value-added tax is added at the end, and the anaesthesia line stays empty because no anaesthesia is used.

Every visit is booked in advance. Rewind sees patients on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00, and is closed on Thursday and Sunday. The appointment fee covers the examination by the medical director, the published 15cc volume and the injection itself on the clinic floors of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, Seoul.

Daily life possible straight afterwards

For a traveller, the budget question is really a calendar question. One appointment fits easily into a short stay because there is no recovery period to plan around. Rewind's material does not publish a fixed interval between sessions, so ask at the consultation how the second appointment would be timed and whether your stay allows for it.

Rates

Published figures

Rewind rates for under-chin contour injection

These are the standard published figures behind an under-chin quotation in Apgujeong. Read them as components: your own total is the contour line multiplied by the sessions your chin needs, plus a jaw muscle line only if the examination found one.

Contour injection, 15ccOne under-chin appointment at the published volume
₩150,000
Jaw muscle, 50 units (botulinum toxin)Added only when muscle adds to the width at the jaw angle
₩150,000

A worked example keeps the arithmetic concrete without inventing a figure. A patient whose examination supports two appointments and no other line pays the first figure twice, plus tax. A patient who needs three appointments and a jaw muscle line pays the first figure three times and the second once. Surgical removal of under-chin fat is priced on its own page and never mixed into this list.

List rates, VAT excluded. The listed figure includes any anaesthesia fee where anaesthesia is used; for this injection none is. Larger volumes and combined plans are confirmed at the consultation once the area has been examined.

Fit

Worth the money, or not

When a double chin injection is money well spent, and when it is not

Usually a sound spend

  • A soft, modest pocket of fat under the chin that pinches easily between two fingers
  • A chin that looks heavier in photographs while the jaw line above it is still defined
  • Someone who wants no incision, no compression garment and no time off work
  • A budget and a calendar that allow for two or three appointments with a review between them

Better spent elsewhere, or not at all

  • A large, dense pad where repeated appointments would add up past the cost of one operation
  • Fullness the ultrasound attributes to the salivary gland or to fat beneath the muscle
  • Loose skin or a visible muscle band, where reducing fat leaves the outline no better
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, an infection near the site, or a clotting disorder, all discussed before anything is booked

Where the examination points to surgery, the comparison is set out on the double chin liposuction page, and the figure for the operation is given there.

After

Between payments

How the chin changes between one paid session and the next

Knowing what the chin looks like at each stage stops people paying for a second appointment too early, while the first is still working.

Same day
Swollen, but free to go
Daily life resumes straight away. On the clinic's instructions, alcohol, sauna and hard exercise are avoided for one day.
Days two to three
Mild swelling eases
Rewind's sheet puts light swelling as improving within two to three days. The area is not rubbed or pressed in the meantime.
Following weeks
The outline starts to change
The clinic's event material tracks the treated area at ten days, thirteen days and one month, marked as illustrations, not as a promise.
Review
Decide on the next session
The photographs are compared. A second appointment is priced only if the first has moved the line and more is needed.

Expected effects include swelling, a stinging soreness, bruising, tenderness and numbness over the treated area. Firm nodules that soften over weeks and uneven response between sides are less common. A 2024 systematic review of serious events after deoxycholic acid injection under the chin describes skin injury at injection sites and temporary weakness of the nerve controlling the lower lip. Report hardening that keeps increasing, skin that darkens or breaks down, or an uneven smile to the clinic the same day.

Questions

Double chin injection pricing: questions asked ahead of booking

How much does a double chin fat dissolving session cost in Gangnam, Seoul?
One appointment of the 15cc contour injection is listed at ₩150,000, with value-added tax added on top. No anaesthesia fee applies because the clinic does not use anaesthesia for this injection. Your total depends on how many sessions the examination supports.
How many sessions does a double chin usually need?
Rewind's material says the clearest change usually follows two to three sessions, varying with the amount of fat. A small, soft pocket sits at the lower end of that range. The estimate is confirmed one appointment at a time after each review.
How soon is the change visible under the chin?
Not on the day. The area is swollen first, and light swelling generally eases within two to three days. The outline then changes gradually over the following weeks; the clinic's own illustrative sequence runs to one month after the appointment.
Is the price different for a small and a large double chin?
The per-appointment figure stays the same. What differs is the number of appointments and whether an injection is recommended at all. A large, dense pad usually leads to a surgical discussion because repeated sessions would cost more and reach less.
What else can appear on my quotation?
A botulinum toxin line for the jaw muscle, if part of the lower-face width is muscle, and a larger 60cc volume if the doctor judges the area needs it. Each is listed at its own rate and added only after the examination.
Can I finish the whole course in one trip to Seoul?
One appointment fits easily into a short stay. A two to three session course usually does not, and Rewind does not publish a fixed interval between sessions, so ask at the consultation how a second visit would be scheduled.
Is VAT included in the listed figure?
No. Rewind's published rates exclude value-added tax, which is added to the total. Anaesthesia costs are included in listed figures where anaesthesia is used, which does not apply to this injection.
When is paying for another session not worth it?
When two appointments have not changed the outline in the review photographs. At that point the doctor re-examines what the fullness is made of. Gland, deep fat or a loose muscle band will not respond to further injections.

Scientific evidence

Research on treating under-chin fat by injection, session by session

The two trials measure what repeated deoxycholic acid injection achieves under the chin against placebo, and both were built around a course of treatments. The US prescribing information for the approved deoxycholic acid product describes its pivotal trials as giving up to six treatments at least one month apart. The 2024 review sets out how serious adverse events after this injection are recognised and managed. None of these studies was carried out at Rewind Plastic Surgery, and Rewind's own contour injection is a separate preparation whose ingredients are disclosed at consultation.
