Face Fat Removal in Cheongdam, Gangnam — cheeks and jawline, conservatively.
A rounder face usually comes from surface cheek and jowl fat — and only that surface layer is treated non-surgically. ARTNER Cheongdam slims it two ways: the Face ARTNER fat-dissolving injection (from ₩190,000 per session, no PPC or steroids) or Face ART-TUNE, the injection paired with Tune Liner jawline tightening (from ₩390,000), with a 3-week full-face program at ₩490,000. Sessions take 10–15 minutes with days of mask-level swelling. The planning rule at ARTNER is deliberately conservative: facial fat is easy to dissolve and hard to put back, so we treat for how your face looks in ten years — and sometimes advise treating less, or nothing.
What does face fat removal treat at ARTNER Cheongdam — and what does it not?
A rounder face can come from surface cheek and jowl fat or from deeper structure — and only the surface fat is treated non-surgically at ARTNER Cheongdam. Over-slimming ages a face, so honest planning matters more here than anywhere. Face ARTNER injection gently dissolves surface cheek and jowl fat with no downtime; Face ART-TUNE adds Tune Liner jawline tightening so the lower face slims and firms together. Dr. Pyeon is conservative by design — the goal is a slimmer face that still looks like you at fifty.

Is my face surface fat, deep buccal fat, jaw muscle — or bone?
ARTNER Cheongdam sorts the four before recommending anything, because injecting the wrong one is the most common face mistake in Korea — and the hardest to undo.
Surface cheek and jowl fat
Soft fat you can pinch on the cheek or along the jowl. Face ARTNER injection dissolves it gently, session by session — from ₩190,000, 10–15 minutes, no downtime.
Fat with early jowl laxity
Fat plus a softening jawline. Face ART-TUNE adds Tune Liner tightening in the same session so the lower face slims and firms together, from ₩390,000.
Deep buccal fat pad
The deep pad under the cheekbone is not reached by injection, and removing it surgically hollows the mid-face with age. ARTNER Cheongdam treats it conservatively or not at all, and explains why.
Jaw muscle or bone
A square jaw from an overactive masseter is muscle — Jaw botox in Gangnam — from ₩19,000 is the answer; a wide jawbone is structure and nothing injectable changes it. Both can be combined with fat treatment where both are present.
A front and 45-degree photo is enough for Dr. Pyeon's team in Cheongdam to tell you which of the four you are — and whether treating less is the better answer — within 24 hours. Jaw-focused plans: Face slimming program.

Which treatment matches my goal?
The quickest way to narrow it down for the face.
Dissolve
Surface cheek/jowl fat — Face ARTNER injection.
Slim + firm
Fat and jaw skin together — Face ART-TUNE.
Plan conservatively
We protect against over-hollowing, and advise honestly if it's a deep-buccal or bone issue.
What are the two kinds of facial fullness — and which one responds?
A rounder lower face usually comes from surface cheek and jowl fat, which sits just under the skin and responds well to a fat-dissolving injection and tightening. Deeper buccal-pad fullness is a different matter — over-treating it can hollow and age a face — so we're deliberately conservative and assess the cause first.
At ARTNER, facial slimming is non-surgical: the Face ARTNER injection dissolves surface fat, and Face ART-TUNE pairs it with Tune Liner jawline tightening so the lower face slims without loosening. If your fullness is from the deep buccal pad or from bone, we'll tell you honestly rather than treat fat that isn't the problem.
Why is the result half procedure, half aftercare at ARTNER Gangnam?
A clean result on the day is only part of the outcome — how the face settles over the following weeks decides how smooth and even it finishes. That's why ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive aftercare system: dedicated recovery care rather than a procedure and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare is delivered with medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER uses Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) — a radiofrequency and ultrasound platform — to smooth the contour and support skin retraction as you heal. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea, so the aftercare is run by someone who helps train other clinics on the device.

What are the risks — and how does ARTNER lower them?
Every medical treatment carries risk. These non-surgical routes may cause temporary swelling, tenderness or small bruising at the injection sites, and rarely small firm nodules; results are gradual, not instant. The main risk with facial fat treatment is over-treatment — an over-hollowed face that ages poorly.
ARTNER lowers these risks deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you first, we plan the face conservatively for how it will age, and we'll honestly advise less — or a different route — when that's right. If your fullness is from the deep buccal pad or from bone, we'll tell you rather than treat fat that isn't the problem.
Are the treatments registered in Korea?
ARTNER's signatures — the Face ARTNER Injection and Face ART-TUNE — are registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (특허청). The injection is a cleaner formula by design: no steroids, no hyaluronidase, no PPC. You receive the originals only at ARTNER.

Why a slim face still has to age well — the director on cheek fat
Facial fat is easy to dissolve and hard to put back. At ARTNER Cheongdam I plan the face for how it will look in ten years, not just after the swelling — sometimes the honest answer is to treat less, or nothing at all, and if the heaviness is muscle or bone I say the injection is not the tool.

Face fat removal in Korea — questions answered.
Face ARTNER injection for pinchable surface cheek and jowl fat; Face ART-TUNE when there is also early jawline laxity, adding Tune Liner tightening in the same session. Deep buccal fat, jaw muscle and bone are not injection cases — ARTNER Cheongdam sorts the four causes from a front and 45-degree photo before recommending anything.
Yes. Face fat removal at ARTNER Cheongdam is injection-based, 10–15 minutes per session with numbing cream, no incisions and no general anesthesia. Buccal fat removal surgery is a different procedure that ARTNER treats conservatively; awake chin and neck liposuction are covered on the double chin and neck pages.
Face ARTNER injection (6cc) ₩190,000, Face Mini ARTNER (5cc) ₩49,000, Face ART-TUNE ₩390,000 per session, and the 3-week Full-Face Slimming program ₩490,000; Tune Liner alone from ₩290,000. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list — no foreigner surcharge.
It can, if overdone — cheek fat is the fat that naturally thins with age, so removing too much hollows the mid-face. That is exactly why ARTNER Cheongdam treats the cheek conservatively, judges each session after swelling clears, and declines requests that would age the face.
Most people do the 3-week Full-Face Slimming program or 2–3 Face ARTNER sessions spaced weekly. International patients usually complete 1–2 sessions per visit and the rest on a second trip; the result is judged 2–4 weeks after the last session.
1–2 days per visit — sessions are 10–15 minutes with no downtime, and you can fly the same day. Mask-level swelling lasts 3–5 days. Keep two weeks between your final session and a wedding, shoot or important event.
Mild swelling under the cheek or jowl peaks on day 1–3 and is mostly gone by day 3–5; a mask covers it. Do not press or massage the area on the first night, avoid alcohol for 2–3 days and saunas for a week; makeup from the next day. The slimming shows 2–4 weeks after the last session.
ARTNER Injection is non-surgical, no downtime, gradual — for mild, pinchable fat, built over a course. ART-FAT removes a larger amount in one awake procedure under local anesthesia for a lasting change. If the skin is loose, ART-TUNE adds tightening so you slim without a fold. ARTNER Cheongdam recommends honestly — often the smallest route that will work.
Yes. Treatments at ARTNER Cheongdam are often staged or combined — ART-FAT on the main volume, then ARTNER Injection or ART-TUNE on smaller neighbouring pockets after the recovery window, or adjacent areas done in one session. Plans are sequenced so recoveries do not overlap.
ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, patent-registered in Korea and deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — ingredients in many generic fat-dissolving shots that can cause hardening or uncontrolled spread. The composition is shown at consultation.
ART-FAT uses tiny access points placed discreetly in natural creases that fade over months and are hidden once healed. Keep them out of direct sun and follow the aftercare; injections leave no scars.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT or dissolved by the injection course do not return; the treated area is a lasting change while your weight stays stable. Remaining cells can enlarge with significant weight gain — fat does not move elsewhere — and skin changes with age.
Dr. Pyeon's team follows up remotely on WhatsApp in your language, reviews photos and guides you on what to do locally; fever, one-sided heat or increasing pain are reported immediately. Treatment records and an English operative report are provided for your home doctor on request.
Body contouring is safest when the whole patient is assessed, not just the target area. Dr. Pyeon screens cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health, separates fat from skin, muscle and bone, and plans adjacent areas as one line — so the plan at ARTNER Cheongdam treats the actual cause and declines cases contouring cannot help.
