Face Slimming Injection Before and After Results
How Your Face Slimming Injection Hongdae Seoul Session Works
Step 1: Jaw Assessment and Muscle-vs-Bone Check (10-15 min)
Dr. Jae-Hong Kim asks you to clench so he can palpate masseter bulk on both sides and distinguish muscular jaw width, which responds, from bony width, which does not. This candidacy check across 60-90 minutes sets realistic expectations and determines the unit dose per side before any face slimming injection hongdae seoul is planned.
Step 2: Mapping and Dose Planning (5 min)
The lower masseter is marked at 3-4 injection points per side, avoiding the risorius and zygomaticus to protect your smile. Dr. Jae-Hong Kim calibrates the botulinum toxin dose, commonly 20-30 units per masseter depending on muscle bulk, so both sides are balanced for a symmetric slimmer contour.
Step 3: Botulinum Toxin Injection (5 min)
Using a fine 30-gauge needle, the botulinum toxin is placed into the masseter at the marked points. The toxin blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, so the muscle contracts less and slims through disuse atrophy. The 5-minute injection is quick, with only brief pressure and no incision or anesthesia required.
Step 4: Aftercare Guidance and Cadence (5 min)
Dr. Jae-Hong Kim advises avoiding vigorous chewing gum for a few days and explains that visible slimming builds over 2-8 weeks. He notes your masseter baseline and sets a maintenance interval, typically every 3-6 months, before you leave the RE:BERRY Hongdae room, since the muscle regrows if injections stop.
Face Slimming Injection Benefits and Recovery Timeline
- Narrows a square or wide lower face by slimming the masseter chewing muscle at RE:BERRY Hongdae
- Relaxes teeth grinding and jaw-clenching tension in suitable candidates alongside the slimming effect
- Works by muscle relaxation over 2-8 weeks, not fat removal or bone shaving, so the change looks natural
- Zero downtime with same-day return to activities, ideal between Hongdae itinerary stops near Hongik University Station
- Maintained with a session every 3-6 months on a cadence set by Dr. Jae-Hong Kim, preserving your contour
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Face slimming injection completed in 10-15 minutes. Minor redness or small bruising at 3-4 injection points settles quickly, and normal activities resume immediately with no downtime. | |
| The masseter begins to relax as botulinum toxin takes effect; some patients notice less clenching and jaw tension first, before visible slimming appears. | |
| The jaw angle narrows progressively as the under-used masseter atrophies, delivering the slimmer lower-face contour over about 2 to 8 weeks. | |
| Results hold for 3-6 months, then a maintenance session sustains the contour; muscle size can return if treatment is discontinued. |

Why This Matters
Doctor continuity directly affects contouring outcomes. KHIDI’s 2025 Medical Tourism Survey found 41.4% of Japanese patients ranked ‘same doctor throughout treatment’ as their #1 priority when choosing a Korean clinic. RE:BERRY Hongdae assigns one physician, Dr. Jae-Hong Kim, per patient across the full face slimming injection hongdae seoul course.
OECD Health Statistics 2023 record an average Korean consultation of 4.3 minutes; RE:BERRY Hongdae deliberately runs 60-90 minutes, allowing a muscle-versus-bone jaw assessment and dose planning before any botulinum toxin is injected.
RE:BERRY Hongdae calibrates 20-30 units per masseter to your measured muscle bulk rather than a fixed preset, so both sides are balanced and the slimming looks symmetric, unlike template dosing common at walk-in chains.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE — The Science Behind Face Slimming Injection (Peer-Reviewed)
How Masseter Botulinum Toxin Slims the Lower Face
A face slimming injection places botulinum toxin type A into the masseter, where it blocks acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction and reduces contraction force. With the muscle used less, disuse atrophy shrinks its cross-sectional area over 2-8 weeks, narrowing the jaw angle. A prospective study of 121 patients documented significant masseter volume reduction and high satisfaction, and ultrasonographic data show measurable thickness decreases of 20-30% after treatment.

Dose, Duration and Retreatment Cadence
Controlled studies of aesthetic mandibular contouring show that 20-30 units per masseter reliably reduce muscle bulk, with peak slimming at 2-3 months and effect duration of 3-6 months before the muscle regains volume. This dose-and-interval evidence is why Dr. Jae-Hong Kim individualises units to measured muscle bulk and schedules maintenance every 3-6 months rather than applying a single fixed preset to every jaw.

Consensus in Asian Contouring and Functional Benefit
An expert consensus on Asian beauty trends identified masseter reduction as a cornerstone of non-surgical lower-face contouring, and Korean cadaveric and clinical mapping data refine safe injection points that spare the risorius so the smile is preserved. Beyond slimming, controlled evidence reports reduced bruxism and clenching-related jaw tension in suitable candidates, giving a dual aesthetic and functional benefit documented across multiple cohorts of over 100 patients.

Why choose a boutique clinic over a chain for face slimming in Hongdae?
60-90 minute consultations set RE:BERRY Hongdae apart from walk-in chains, versus the 4.3-minute Korean average (OECD). Korean boutique clinics handle higher per-physician volumes than most Western practices, so dosing is customised, not templated. Compare our other injectable pages too.

| Chain | 5-10 min |
How do I verify a face slimming clinic is legitimate in Seoul?

Is there any downtime after a face slimming injection in Hongdae?
0 real downtime follows a face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae; minor redness or small bruising at the injection points typically settles within a day. Because it is a quick needle procedure with no incision, most patients return straight to activities around Hongik University Station the same day.
Can I fly the same day after a face slimming injection in Seoul?
Yes, 0 recovery restrictions apply, so same-day flying after a face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae is fine. The 10-15 minute treatment leaves no wounds. Because the clinic sits on the AREX line direct to Incheon Airport, a last-day injection before departure is genuinely practical for travellers, easier than in most Western cities.
How many days in Seoul do I need for a face slimming injection?
1 day suffices for a face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae, since the 10-15 minute session needs no recovery time. Seoul makes this easier than most Western cities because clinics cluster near transit; RE:BERRY connects directly to Hongik University Station, and you can pair it with a lifting consult between stops.
When does the jawline look slimmer and how long do results last?
2-8 weeks is when jaw slimming becomes visible at RE:BERRY Hongdae, as the masseter atrophies, with results lasting 3-6 months. Dr. Jae-Hong Kim sets a maintenance interval at your consultation, since the muscle can regain size if injections stop; consistent cadence keeps the contour.
What follow-up care do I get after face slimming when I return home?
4 weeks of WhatsApp aftercare follows every face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae. Dr. Jae-Hong Kim’s team answers routine questions in English after you fly home, and confirms your next maintenance interval so the slimmer contour from your Seoul session is sustained rather than fading.
What makes RE:BERRY Hongdae different for a face slimming injection?
8 languages, 60-90 minute consultations and physician-run injection distinguish RE:BERRY Hongdae. Dr. Jae-Hong Kim clench-tests the jaw and sets units per masseter rather than a fixed preset, and the Yeonnam-dong location within Hongdae’s youth and design district, near our injectable menu, makes it approachable.
Will a face slimming injection change my smile or chewing in Hongdae?
0 change to your smile is intended at RE:BERRY Hongdae, because Dr. Jae-Hong Kim maps injection points to spare the risorius and zygomaticus smile muscles. Chewing is mildly reduced early on but adapts within 1-2 weeks, so normal eating returns while the masseter slims.
Does the masseter injection help with teeth grinding in Hongdae?
Yes, many patients report reduced clenching within 1-2 weeks of a masseter injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae, since relaxing the muscle eases bruxism-related jaw tension. Dr. Jae-Hong Kim assesses whether you have this functional benefit alongside the aesthetic slimming during your consultation.
How often do I need a face slimming injection to keep results in Seoul?
1 session every 3-6 months typically maintains the contour at RE:BERRY Hongdae, since results are temporary. Korean clinics run higher injectable volumes than many Western practices, so Dr. Jae-Hong Kim tailors your interval to how quickly your masseter regains bulk and confirms it transparently at consultation.
Who is not a good candidate for a face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae?
4 groups should avoid a face slimming injection at RE:BERRY Hongdae: those pregnant or breastfeeding, with a botulinum toxin allergy, neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis, or jaw width that is bony rather than muscular.
