Hongdae Portra Lifting 80KJ Double Chin and Frontal Surgery Review
Every time I look in the mirror, I'm particularly concerned about the fat around my forehead and my double chin.
![]()
The nasolabial folds themselves aren't that deep, but the fat accumulated under the cheekbones creates a shadow, making the nasolabial folds look deeper, which was stressful.
When I smile, my cheekbones stand out and my jawline looks wide, so I looked into lifting and went to a dermatology clinic near Hongik University Station.
Pre-operative diagnosis and process
It was easy to find as it was just a minute away from the station.
First, I scanned my face with a 3D skin diagnostic device, and it showed me numerically which areas were sunken and where fat was concentrated.
In my case, I was diagnosed with a darkened nasolabial fold due to the fat around my forehead and a blurred jawline due to the double chin fat layer.
Through consultation, the design was decided to tighten the area under the cheekbones and target the double chin fat layer along the jawline.
Treatment The equipment was cooled to -5 degrees, so the pain was less than I had worried about, and it was just a mildly warm feeling.
A nurse checked my condition from time to time.
Immediately after the procedure and one week later
I received 80KJ of energy focused on my forehead and double chin, and when I looked in the mirror right after the procedure, I felt like my facial lines had become more defined.
However, immediately after the procedure, my face was slightly red due to the heat.
Fortunately, there was no swelling or bruising, so I was able to go about my daily life without any problems.
As of now, about a week later:
-
As the skin under the cheekbones is cleaned up, the shadows on the forehead appear lighter than before.
-
The double chin fat that was flowing down is lifted, revealing the jawline.
-
Skin tone and texture feel smoother overall
Observation
According to the hospital, elasticity will improve after 2-3 weeks as collagen is synthesized.
They say that if you get it done 3 times at 3-4 week intervals, the durability will improve, so I plan to give it some time and observe for now.
Since everyone has a different face shape and amount of fat, the lifting results may vary from person to person. Since this is my first time, I think I need to check the changes afterward.

- 01CommentsThe treatment approach for nasolabial folds may vary depending on the degree of hollowness and the extent of cheek sagging. If the grooves themselves are deeply indented, filling them with fillers is effective for immediate improvement. On the other hand, if the wrinkles are caused by sagging cheek skin, lifting them with Ultherapy or thread lifting provides a more natural look. I recommend consulting with a clinic to accurately determine the cause and making a comprehensive decision.231026.10.29
- 02CommentsOndari Lifting features a powerful cooling system integrated into the handpiece itself, so there is virtually no pain or heat during the procedure. Since the sensation is more of a warm heat rather than a tingling sensation, many people receive the treatment comfortably without anesthetic cream. It is also a highly satisfying procedure for defining the double chin and deep cheek lines.160026.10.29
- 03CommentsRather than mixing up various procedures from the start, I think it would be better to start with just the one area you are most concerned about. I would probably start by consulting about the part that bothers me the most when I look in the mirror.200026.10.29
- 01CommentsI also looked for lifting creams before getting a consultation. I could definitely feel the hydration when I applied them, but I didn't really notice any significant improvement in my pores. However, since consistently moisturizing and taking good care of your skin's condition through sun protection helps, I think it would be a good idea to start with home care rather than expecting dramatic results.500026.10.18
- 02CommentsRadiofrequency or ultrasound lifting is a procedure you can comfortably receive at any time, largely regardless of the season. However, during the summer, your skin is easily irritated by sweat and strong UV rays, so you need to pay extra attention to soothing and sun protection. Conversely, in winter, managing dryness is essential, so you must provide thorough moisturizing care. Rather than focusing on the season, I recommend getting the treatment on a weekend or during a break when you have no important schedules.464026.10.23
- 03CommentsI think this is a perfectly understandable concern you might have while on your diet. When you hit a plateau, slightly adjusting your usual diet or adding light strength training to boost your basal metabolic rate are good solutions. I hope you don't give up and continue with your healthy routine!1495026.10.26
- 01CommentsTune Face allows for precise control of energy depth, making it suitable even for those with less cheek volume. Its major advantage is that it delivers high-frequency elasticity to the necessary areas while minimizing concerns about cheek hollowing. Satisfaction is high as you can expect both overall skin texture improvement and tightening effects. I hope this helps with your decision regarding the procedure.1942026.09.30
- 02CommentsI see you were very curious about the downtime for the Onda Lifting procedure due to concerns regarding jawline elasticity. While individual differences exist, the Onda Lifting generally causes minimal bruising or swelling, so only slight redness usually occurs on the day of the procedure. You can apply makeup and resume your daily activities without any issues the following day, so please feel free to schedule a consultation.781026.10.09
- 03CommentsIf it were me, I would start by getting the procedure that is your top priority. If your biggest concern is sagging facial contours, I would recommend Ultherapy; if you are more concerned about dull skin, fine lines, or loss of elasticity, I would suggest consulting about Thermage first. Then, observe the results for about two months and proceed with treatments to address any remaining issues. Rather than getting both procedures at once, I think it is better to try one first, taking your skin condition into account!932126.10.21
