The Ku Lift™ is a signature jawline contouring treatment developed by Dr. Gordon Ku to target and remove excess superficial fat along the jawline for a sharper, more defined profile. This minimally invasive procedure focuses on the preplatysmal fat layer — often responsible for a soft or obscured jawline — and uses a micro-cannula technique to sculpt for facial definition while maintaining natural balance. Designed for patients seeking subtle, aesthetic improvement without surgery, the Ku Lift™ delivers tailored results with minimal downtime.

Benefits of Jawline Contouring – Ku Lift™
- Sharper Jawline Definition
Reduces excess superficial (preplatysmal) fat along the jawline to create a more sculpted, contoured appearance. - Minimally Invasive Technique
Utilises a fine micro-cannula for precise fat removal from the superficial layer, minimising the risk of surface irregularities and ensuring a smoother outcome. - Balanced, Natural Results
Every procedure is tailored by Dr. Gordon Ku to sculpt your jawline while preserving facial harmony and proportion. - Short Recovery Time
Most patients experience a 5–7 day recovery period, with mild swelling and bruising. A supportive garment is worn for the first few days to aid healing.
Is the Ku Lift™ Right for You?

The Ku Lift™ is ideal for individuals seeking a more refined and defined jawline without undergoing invasive surgery. You may be a suitable candidate if:
- You have visible excess fat around the jawline or upper neck area that softens your profile
- You have good skin elasticity, which helps achieve smoother, more natural-looking results
- You are in overall good health with no contraindicating medical conditions
- You want subtle definition that improves facial definition while maintaining balance
- You prefer a minimally invasive approach with a shorter recovery time compared to surgical options
A detailed assessment with Dr. Gordon Ku will determine your suitability and expected outcome based on your unique facial anatomy.
A Consultation with Dr. Gordon Ku is necessary. At this stage, a comprehensive facial assessment is conducted to determine suitability and discuss potential outcomes and risks associated with the procedure.

Jawline Contouring Treatment Recovery
Recovery after the Ku Lift™ is generally quick and manageable, with most patients resuming normal activities within a week. Here’s what to expect:
- Immediately After Treatment
A supportive compression garment is typically worn for 4–7 days to help manage swelling and assist with contouring during the initial healing phase. - First 24 Hours
It’s recommended to rest and keep your head elevated to minimise swelling. Some bruising and discomfort may occur. - 1–2 Weeks Post-Treatment
Most patients return to daily activities within this period, although individual recovery times may vary. - Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (Recommended)
We advise 3 sessions of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) starting around 1 week after your procedure. This light massage technique helps reduce swelling, supports your lymphatic system, and may improve your final result. Your specific MLD plan will be tailored and confirmed by Dr. Gordon Ku. - When to Expect Results
Subtle improvements may be visible within a few weeks, with full results continuing to develop over the next few months as swelling subsides and the area naturally refines.
Expected Results & Healing Timeline
The Ku Lift™ is designed to subtly refine the jawline by reducing superficial fat, resulting in a more contoured and balanced appearance. While outcomes vary from person to person, most patients can expect the following:
- Visible Improvement: Subtle changes may begin to appear within the first few weeks after the procedure.
- Progressive Results: As swelling subsides and healing progresses, results typically continue to improve over 2–3 months, with final contouring becoming more noticeable as the area settles.
- Natural-Looking Contour: The goal is to achieve jawline definition while maintaining facial harmony and a natural aesthetic.
Results may vary based on individual anatomy, skin elasticity, and healing response.
Risks and Considerations
As with all cosmetic procedures, the Ku Lift™ carries some potential risks. These include:
- Swelling and bruising, which are common and typically resolve within the first week or two
- Temporary numbness or altered sensation in the treated area
- Minor asymmetry, as healing may differ between each side of the face
- Infection, although this is rare when proper aftercare guidelines are followed
Dr. Gordon Ku will discuss all risks and expectations during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed and confident in your decision.
