HIFU Chin Lift Before & After | Submental Tightening and Chin Definition

Kybella alone wouldn't have worked here — the skin was loose enough that treating the fat would have left visible looseness behind. HIFU addresses the skin and contour rather than the fat layer.

On assessment, the under-chin and lower face showed mild fullness combined with reduced skin firmness. The pattern was different from pure under-chin fat — the loose-skin component was the dominant concern. HIFU suited this presentation because the right match for loose skin under the chin is a tightening treatment rather than a fat treatment.

HIFU was performed across the under-chin and submental region. Improvements continue gradually over several months as the skin tightens. In the after image, the under-chin contour reads tighter, the chin definition has improved, and the skin reads smoother. The right intervention matched to the actual presentation is the framework. Loose skin under the chin and under-chin fat are different problems that call for different treatments.
