Can liposuction and chin filler be done together?
DI’s official gallery documents one case with both double-chin liposuction and chin filler, but the record does not specify the sequence or exact timing of the injections. It shows that both procedures are listed for this case; it does not establish whether they were performed on the same day or which timing is suitable for you.
Liposuction addresses fat in the treated area. Chin filler adds volume in the injection area to address a separate contour goal. Neither should be chosen from a photograph alone. At consultation, show the clinician what concerns you below the chin and what concerns you at the chin itself. Ask what each option would leave unchanged.
Decide what each step is meant to change
Ask the surgeon whether fullness below the chin comes mainly from accessible fat or whether skin laxity, the chin’s position or other structures also contribute. Ask the injector to explain the proposed goal and site separately. Filler cannot remove fat, and suction does not add projection.
If your only goal relates to one area, ask why a second procedure is in the plan and what would be lost by leaving it out. A plan with one intervention, observation or no treatment may be a reasonable option to discuss.
Compare a combined plan with treatment in stages
Timing is a clinical decision. Swelling can complicate early contour assessment, so ask what the clinician expects to evaluate before adding another treatment, who makes that decision and what would make the team postpone it. A fixed waiting period cannot be inferred from the gallery.
Compare written plans using the same questions. Ask who performs each treatment, what is included in the estimate, when assessment takes place and how you will get help if you leave Korea while recovering.
| Option to discuss | Question to get answered |
|---|---|
| Liposuction only | Which fullness would it address, and what might remain? |
| Filler only | What projection change is intended, and will under-chin fullness remain? |
| Both in one plan | Why is the proposed timing suitable, and who will assess each recovery concern? |
| Staged or deferred | What does the next review need to establish, and what would lead to deferral? |
Get two separate safety plans
Liposuction carries risks including infection, fluid collection, changes in sensation and irregular contour. The ASPS safety page also lists serious risks associated with surgery and anesthesia. Ask which issues are relevant to your health and the proposed technique.
Filler can cause swelling, bruising, lumps and other adverse effects. Accidental injection into a blood vessel can lead to tissue injury, visual loss or stroke. The U.S. FDA advises getting immediate medical attention if you have unusual pain, vision changes, white, gray or blue skin near the injection site, or signs of stroke during or shortly after filler. Do not wait for an online response. The FDA reference describes safety, not Korean authorization for a particular product.
Ask for the product record and a contact that works after hours
Before treatment, ask for the product name, material, lot number, proposed site and the clinic’s plan if vascular compromise is suspected. Tell the team about prior filler or surgery, medicines, allergies and relevant health conditions. Do not stop prescribed medication or try to manage an injection emergency yourself.
Request written postoperative and injection aftercare, who answers out of hours, and where to go for in-person care if you are unable to reach the clinic. For international patients, confirm in-person reviews, language arrangements and individualized travel advice before booking a fixed departure.
What the one-week DI case can show
The official DI case 068 labels the 45-degree pair as “Double-chin liposuction · Chin filler” and the follow-up as one week after surgery. That is an early time point. The images cannot isolate the effect of one treatment, establish final results or disclose the injection brand, amount or timing. Individual results vary.
For an in-person visit, DI is at 12F, Seosan Building, 441 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul, near Gangnam Station. Use the official directions and request an itemized plan for your own assessment. This editorial guide uses the sources below.

Information that helps us prepare a useful reply
When contacting the clinic, tell us the procedure or concern you would like to discuss, your preferred language, whether you have had related treatment before and the dates you could visit Seoul. International patients may also wish to include their arrival and departure dates so the team can explain when an in-person consultation and follow-up may fit into the trip.
Please do not send passport numbers, payment information or complete medical records through an initial website inquiry. A coordinator can explain which health information or photographs are relevant and how they should be shared. Online guidance is preliminary; suitability, technique and the final treatment plan are determined only after an appropriate medical assessment.
