Neck Lift
in Korea
The neck reveals age first.
We reconstruct the Cervicomental Angle (90°)
by tightening the deep muscle corset, not just the skin.

A Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) is the definitive solution for "Turkey Neck," vertical muscle bands, and heavy fat deposits that blur the jawline.
Why not just Liposuction? Liposuction only removes superficial fat. In aging necks, the problem is often loose muscle (Platysma) and Deep Fat located under the muscle.
Korean Deep Neck Lift techniques involve making a small incision under the chin to physically tie the loose muscles together (Corset Technique) and remove the deep fat pads, restoring a sharp, youthful neckline.
We tighten the separated platysma muscles in the midline (like a corset) to eliminate vertical neck bands.
Removing the fat under the muscle (which lipo cannot reach) creates a deeply recessed, elegant neck angle.
Incisions are strategically placed behind the ears and in the submental crease (under chin) to be invisible.
Identify if your neck issues are skin, fat, or muscle-related.
They are often sisters. A facelift fixes the jowls,
while a neck lift fixes the cords and double chin.
Most patients in their 50s+ benefit from doing both.
The "Corset" Technique for long-lasting definition.
Through a tiny incision under the chin, the surgeon accesses the separated edges of the platysma muscle and sutures them together tightly.
Sometimes a "full neck" is caused by enlarged submandibular glands or deep fat pads. Advanced surgeons carefully reduce these for a slimmer contour.
Excess skin is pulled backward (behind the ears), trimmed, and sutured. The tension is placed on the deep fascia, ensuring the scar does not widen.
| Option | Target Problem | Effectiveness | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neck Liposuction | Superficial Fat Only | Moderate (No lifting) | 3-5 Days |
| Neck Thread Lift | Mild Sagging | Mild (1 year duration) | 2-3 Days |
| Surgical Neck Lift | Muscle Bands + Loose Skin | High (Permanent) | 10-14 Days |
| Estimated Cost | $4,000 ~ $8,000 | ||
* Price varies if combined with Facelift or if deep gland reduction is required.
Expect tightness—it means the corset is working.
Small drains may be placed behind ears to prevent fluid buildup. Usually removed on Day 1 or 2.
Stitches under the chin are removed. You may feel a "choking" or tight sensation (normal).
Stitches behind the ears are removed. Bruising has mostly yellowed/faded.
Numbness around the neck and ears resolves. The scar begins to fade significantly.
Transparency about neck surgery complications.
Blood collection under the skin. The neck is vascular; strict blood pressure control post-op is needed.
Marginal Mandibular Nerve injury can cause temporary asymmetry in smiling. Experienced dissection prevents this.
A sensation of tightness or "strangling" is common initially but resolves as tissues relax over weeks.
Scars behind the ear can thicken. Silicone sheets and steroid injections help manage this if it occurs.
Common questions, answered clearly.
