Dissatisfaction with the jawline
is not caused by weight gain alone.

It often results from a combination of factors
such as decreased skin elasticity
and changes in muscle structure.

Today, we will take a closer look at
before-and-after results and effects of Pelican surgery,
a procedure designed to address these concerns.



"Pelican Surgery Procedure"

At Luho Plastic Surgery,
the surgical process for defining the jaw and neck line
is performed as follows:

Double Chin Fat Removal
• A minimal incision under the chin is made
• A cannula is used to remove both superficial fat
and deeper fat deposits

Platysma Muscle Release
• The sagging platysma muscle under the chin
is released through the incision

Muscle Contouring (Platysmaplasty)
• The separated platysma muscles on both sides
are gathered toward the center and sutured

Submandibular Gland Repositioning
• If the salivary glands under the chin are prominent,
they are repositioned inward toward the jawbone

V-Fit Injection
• Helps promote waste drainage, brighten skin tone,
and reduce postoperative swelling
By removing excess fat and sagging tissue
and tightening the weakened platysma muscle,
this procedure addresses the root causes of a double chin.

In the pre-surgery photos,
bulging submental fat makes the jawline appear blunt
and poorly defined.



"Key Points of 
Pelican Surgery at Seoul"

Because jaw structure and muscle laxity
vary from person to person,
a detailed analysis is essential
to achieve satisfying results.

Differences in submental fat volume
and platysma sagging require
a personalized surgical plan.

At Luho Plastic Surgery,
we perform one-on-one, in-depth evaluations,
considering factors such as facial aging, 
sagging, proportions,
and skin elasticity before proceeding.



"3 Weeks After Pelican Surgery"

At three weeks post-surgery,
you can see a smooth, refined contour
that cannot be achieved through weight loss alone.

With a slimmer-looking jawline,
the overall appearance becomes more youthful.



"Pelican Surgery Results at 4 Weeks"

This procedure is especially suitable
for individuals with excess fat
and sagging skin under the jaw.

By addressing fat, muscle, 
and laxity simultaneously,
it helps prevent further sagging
while providing a lifting effect.

As seen in the 4-week frontal photos,
previous sagging has been corrected,
resulting in a clearly defined V-line jaw contour.

Today, 
we reviewed a real case of Pelican surgery at Seoul,
examining both the procedure and its results.

At Luho Plastic Surgery,
we strive to deliver high-quality outcomes
through precise design and customized planning.

If you would like to uncover your hidden jawline,
we recommend making a decision
after a thorough and detailed consultation.
