In China, the procedure referred to as "jawline lifting" in the cosmetic injection field primarily aims to tighten the jawline, improve double chin, and lift soft tissue sagging caused by aging.
In South Korea, this type of procedure is uniformly categorized as "Jawline Lifting." Below are the three main injection options available in South Korean hospitals:
✅ South Korea's National Treatment: Dermatoxin Lifting
This is the most direct equivalent. The "injectable jawline lifting" mentioned by many bloggers in China is most authentically performed in South Korea using Dermatoxin (also known as Skin Botox).
Korean Name: 더모톡신 / 스킨보톡스
Principle: The doctor does not inject the botulinum toxin into deep muscles, but rather uses a superficial, multi-point, micro-injection method, evenly distributing it along the jawline and platysma muscle.
Effects: Reduces the downward pulling force of muscles on the skin, naturally lifting the facial contours while tightening pores, instantly defining the profile.
✅ Targeted Sculpting: V-Line Contour Shot
If a client's jawline is unclear due to fat accumulation (chubby face, double chin), Korean doctors often choose contour injections.
Korean Name: 윤곽주사
Principle: By injecting ingredients that promote fat breakdown and lymphatic circulation, excess fat tissue along the jawline is reduced.
Effects: Reduces excess fat along the jawline, revealing a more defined bone structure. In Korea, contour injections are often used in combination with lifting Botox, known as the "V-line package."
✅ Supportive Lift: Jawline Filler
For clients with a receding chin and insufficient bony support, resulting in a blurred jawline.
Korean Name: 턱선 필러 / 턱끝 필러
Principle: High-molecular-weight, highly viscoelastic hyaluronic acid (such as Restylane, Juvederm, or the Korean brand Neolames) is injected along the jawline.
Effect: Like building a scaffold, it physically fills and supports sagging skin, lengthening the jawline and creating a striking profile.
✅ Why do Korean doctors prefer "comprehensive treatment"?
In the Korean medical aesthetic system, it's rare to solve all problems with a single injection. To achieve the so-called "jawline lifting" effect found in China, Korean doctors typically offer the following combined treatment plan:
Basic: Botox lifting + contouring injections (for
