Two Years After Rhinoplasty, Alvir Returns to Kangnam for Double Chin Liposuction

Date posted: 01-07-2026 | Last updated : 07-07-2026

Two years after undergoing rhinoplasty at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Alvir (36)—a Filipino English teacher, singer, and content creator—returned for a follow-up evaluation and double chin liposuction. Following a clinical examination, the surgeon confirmed that his nasal result remained stable and recommended reducing the submental fat using VASER ZeroFat liposuction technology to enhance jawline definition.

Returning for a Follow-up Two Years After Rhinoplasty

Alvir is a returning patient who has previously undergone several aesthetic procedures at Kangnam, including rhinoplasty, double eyelid surgery, liposuction, and six-pack abdominal sculpting.

Approximately two years later, he returned with two goals: to assess the long-term outcome of his rhinoplasty and to improve the appearance of his double chin.

As an English teacher who is also active as a singer and content creator, Alvir frequently appears on camera. Fat accumulation beneath the chin reduced the definition of his jawline, especially in profile views or when tilting his head downward. This represents localized submental fat, which is often difficult to eliminate completely through diet and exercise alone.

The surgeon evaluated the patient's existing nasal contour from the previous rhinoplasty and recommended a suitable fat reduction procedure.

Returning to the same medical facility where the original surgery was performed allows the surgeon to review the patient’s medical records, evaluate the long-term surgical outcome, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan if further refinement or additional procedures are desired.

Surgeon Confirms Stable Rhinoplasty Result and Recommends Double Chin Liposuction

Alvir was examined by Dr. Nguyễn Đức Quỳnh, M.Sc., M.D. (Dr. Daniel Nguyễn), Deputy Head of the Korean Aesthetic Surgery Department at Kangnam Aesthetic Hospital, Hanoi.

During the consultation, the surgeon performed:

  • An evaluation of the nose two years after surgery, including assessment of the nasal contour, stability of the nasal bridge and tip, soft tissue condition, and overall facial harmony.
  • An examination of the chin and neck area to determine the amount of localized fat, skin elasticity, and suitability for fat reduction.

Based on the clinical findings, Alvir’s nasal shape remained stable and well-balanced after two years. Therefore, no revision rhinoplasty was indicated. Instead, treatment focused on addressing the excess fat beneath the chin.

Note: This assessment was based solely on the patient’s clinical condition at the time of examination and should not be interpreted as a treatment recommendation for other individuals.

Double Chin Liposuction Using VASER ZeroFat Technology

Following the examination, the surgeon recommended double chin liposuction using VASER ZeroFat technology.

According to Kangnam’s treatment protocol, this technique combines VASER ultrasound technology, the tumescent technique, and a 2.2-mm micro-cannula to emulsify and remove subcutaneous fat.

For Alvir’s case, this method was selected because:

  • The treatment area was relatively small and required precise contouring to create a natural-looking jawline.
  • The small-diameter cannula facilitates removal of localized fat while helping reduce the risk of contour irregularities.
  • The technology selectively targets adipose tissue while minimizing trauma to surrounding structures such as blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.
  • Recovery is relatively fast, making it suitable for individuals who frequently appear on camera.

The treatment approach is determined by the surgeon based on each patient’s clinical presentation. Treatment outcomes and recovery time may vary depending on individual anatomy and healing response.

Post-procedure Care and Recovery

According to Kangnam’s postoperative liposuction care protocol, patients are advised to attend scheduled follow-up visits and follow postoperative instructions throughout the recovery period.

  • During the first few days: Mild swelling in the chin area may occur.
  • Around two weeks: Swelling typically continues to subside with proper postoperative care and medical guidance.
  • After approximately one month: Ongoing care supports skin tightening and continued healing.

Once the treated area stabilized (approximately 2–3 weeks), Alvir’s jawline appeared slimmer and more defined, contributing to improved facial balance in both frontal and profile views.
