Double Chin Removal & Jawline Contouring in Singapore

Sofwave™ (索夫波) uses Synchronised Ultrasound Parallel Beam (SUPERB™) technology to deliver precise ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis at a depth of 1.5mm, directly stimulating collagen and elastin remodelling in the skin layer most responsible for skin firmness and tightness. For the jawline and submental area, this translates to tightening of loose skin that is blurring jaw definition and contributing to early jowling or submental skin laxity.

Sofwave is particularly well-suited to patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who want to improve jawline definition without the more intensive energy delivery and longer recovery associated with HIFU treatments. There is no downtime, and it is safe for all skin tones. Results develop progressively over 2 to 3 months as new collagen matures, with many patients seeing continued improvement up to 6 months post-treatment.

Ultherapy Prime (美版超声刀) is a focused ultrasound treatment that delivers thermal energy to the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer, the deep structural layer of the face that surgical facelifts address. By targeting this layer non-surgically, Ultherapy Prime stimulates a collagen and elastin regeneration response that lifts and tightens the lower face, jawline, and neck over time.

For patients with moderate to significant skin laxity in the lower face and neck where the jawline has meaningfully softened, or early jowling is present, Ultherapy Prime delivers results at a depth that surface-level treatments cannot match. Treatment involves mild to moderate discomfort as the ultrasound energy is delivered, which your doctor will manage with appropriate pain relief. Downtime is minimal, though mild swelling and tenderness for 1 to 3 days post-treatment is normal. Results are typically visible from 2 to 3 months and continue improving up to 6 months post-treatment.

The Ultraformer MPT (钢筋索超声刀) is a next-generation HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) device that delivers lifting and tightening energy to multiple tissue depths simultaneously in a single session. Its multi-point technology allows for more comprehensive treatment of the lower face and neck, addressing both the superficial skin layer and the deeper structural SMAS layer in one treatment.

For chin and jawline concerns, Ultraformer MPT is effective for patients wanting meaningful lifting and tightening results with minimal downtime. Its ability to treat multiple depths simultaneously makes it a time-efficient option for patients with both skin laxity and deeper structural loosening contributing to jawline blurring. Mild redness and swelling for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment is typical.

Chin fillers use hyaluronic acid injected with precision into the chin to add anterior projection, improve chin shape, and enhance the overall definition of the lower face profile. A well-projected chin visually sharpens the cervicomental angle, elongates the neck, and creates a more balanced relationship between the nose, lips, and chin in profile.

Chin fillers are most effective for patients whose primary concern is a structurally recessed or round chin rather than fat or skin laxity. However, they are also a highly effective complement to fat-reduction or skin-tightening treatments — even after fat is addressed, a structurally underprojected chin will continue to limit overall jaw definition. The combined approach of fat reduction plus chin projection frequently produces the most satisfying lower face result.

Treatment takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Mild swelling and tenderness for 2 to 4 days are normal. Results are visible immediately and fully settle within 2 weeks. Duration is typically 12 to 18 months. Chin fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed.

Jaw reduction uses anti-wrinkle injections placed precisely into the masseter muscles to reduce their bulk over time. As the muscle activity is reduced, the masseter gradually atrophies, typically shrinking meaningfully over 4 to 8 weeks, resulting in a slimmer, less squared jaw profile. This effect is particularly pronounced when viewed from the front: reducing masseter width narrows the lower face and creates a more V-shaped facial contour.

Jaw reduction is indicated specifically for patients whose wide jaw is caused by masseter muscle hypertrophy, not by bone structure or excess fat. It also has the secondary benefit of reducing teeth grinding and jaw clenching (bruxism), which many patients with hypertrophic masseters experience. Results last 4 to 6 months on average, with repeated treatment often producing a longer-lasting reduction as the muscle becomes progressively less active over multiple treatment cycles.

Liposuction for the submental area is a surgical procedure in which a thin cannula is inserted through a small incision beneath the chin to physically remove fat deposits. It is the most definitive treatment for significant submental fat — delivering results that non-surgical fat reduction modalities cannot match in cases where the fat volume is substantial.

Submental liposuction is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation and takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. A compression garment is worn for 1 to 2 weeks post-procedure to support skin contraction and minimise swelling. Most patients can return to normal activities within 3 to 5 days, with residual swelling gradually resolving over 4 to 6 weeks. Final results are visible once swelling has fully resolved.

Liposuction removes fat permanently; the treated fat cells do not return. However, significant weight gain following treatment can lead to new fat accumulation in the area. For patients with good skin elasticity, the skin typically contracts well following fat removal. Patients with significant skin laxity may benefit from combining liposuction with a skin-tightening treatment such as Ultherapy Prime or Ultraformer MPT to address any skin redundancy post-fat removal. Your doctor will assess whether combination treatment is appropriate at the consultation.
