Face Slimming Injection in Cheongdam, Gangnam — jawline, double chin and cheek, no surgery.

Face ARTNER injection (6cc) is ₩190,000, Face Mini ARTNER (5cc) ₩49,000, Face ART-TUNE (injection plus Tune Liner tightening) ₩390,000 per session, and the 3-week Full-Face Slimming program ₩490,000. Facial liposuction (Face ART-FAT 6-week program) is ₩1,990,000. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list.

Non-surgical — fat-dissolving injections with Tune Liner skin tightening, 10–15 minutes per session, no incisions, no anesthesia beyond a numbing cream, and days of mild swelling rather than weeks. Facial liposuction (Face ART-FAT) is a separate option for larger submental fat and is discussed only when injection would be insufficient.

It can be fat (pinchable, under the chin and along the jaw), loose skin, an overactive jaw muscle (masseter), or bone. Only fat responds to the injection; muscle needs jaw botox, marked laxity a lifting plan, bone a different conversation. ARTNER Cheongdam assesses all four from a front and 45° photo before advising.

They treat different things. Jaw botox relaxes an overactive masseter muscle to soften a square jaw; Face ARTNER injection dissolves submental and jawline fat. If both are present, ARTNER Gangnam combines them — botox first (effect at 2–4 weeks), injection sessions after.

A few fine injections after numbing cream, plus a comfortable warm tightening pass — most patients describe a brief sting. No downtime: work, dinner or a flight the same day. Mild swelling under the chin peaks at day 1–3 and is mostly gone by day 3–5; a mask covers it.

Gradually. Swelling clears in days; the dissolved fat is cleared and the skin firms over the following weeks, so the V-line is judged 2–4 weeks after the last session of the program. Keep two weeks between the final session and any event or photos.

Most people follow the 3-week Full-Face Slimming program (weekly sessions) or 1–2 Face ART-TUNE sessions for the jawline alone. International patients do 1–2 sessions per visit at ARTNER Cheongdam and complete the rest on a second trip or space them around travel — results accumulate.

Only surface cheek fat, and conservatively. Cheek fat is the fat that naturally thins with age, so ARTNER Cheongdam removes little and judges each session after swelling has cleared; deep buccal fat is not treated with injections. Over-slimming a face makes it look older, not slimmer.

Injection suits pinchable submental and jawline fat — most cases. Face ART-FAT (awake chin liposuction) suits a larger volume of submental fat where one procedure gives a sharper result; it needs about a week in Seoul and 3–6 months for the final line. Photos on WhatsApp decide.

An RF skin-tightening treatment for the jawline and under-chin area, applied in the same session as the injection so the skin firms as the fat reduces. It can also be used alone for maintenance every 2–3 months after the program, from ₩290,000.

The same clean approach — no PPC, no steroids, no hyaluronidase — in a smaller facial volume (5–6cc) and finer distribution. It is patent- and trademark-registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

Temporary swelling, tenderness or small bruising under the chin, brief firmness that settles on its own; rare small nodules or pigmentation. Report one-sided severe swelling, skin colour change or difficulty swallowing immediately. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are contraindications.

Yes — it is the easiest ARTNER treatment to fit around travel: 10–15 minutes, mask-level swelling for a few days, fine to fly the same day. Plan the last session two weeks before an event; for a 3-week program start 6 weeks out.

The facial fat dissolved during the program is cleared and does not return; maintaining a stable weight keeps the line. Skin changes with age, which is why maintenance is usually Tune Liner tightening every few months rather than more injection.
