Neck Lift
Neck lift in Korea can address a range of concerns, such as tightening loose skin around the neck, removing excess fat deposits under the chin, and improving the appearance of vertical neck bands. A neck lift is also performed to redefine the jawline and enhance the overall balance of the facial profile, providing a more youthful and contoured look. Additionally, this procedure can help correct muscle laxity in the neck, offering a long-lasting solution for those looking to combat signs of aging or significant weight loss.
What is Neck Lift?
A neck lift, also known as lower rhytidectomy or cervicoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin, tightening underlying muscles, and eliminating fat deposits. The goal is to create a smoother, more youthful neck profile that harmonizes with your facial features.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Neck Lift?
A neck lift is suitable for both men and women who are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and are looking to achieve a more defined and youthful neck and jawline. Ideal candidates usually exhibit one or more of the following conditions:
- Excess fat and skin relaxation in the lower face that creates jowls.
- Unwanted fat deposits under the chin, often referred to as a “double chin.”
- Loose neck skin that forms folds and wrinkles.
Muscle banding in the neck, which creates abnormal contours.

Preparing for Neck Lift
- Meet with your surgeon and care coordinator to review your personalized treatment plan, ask any questions, and make sure you fully understand the pre- and post-operative instructions.
- Get your essentials ready before surgery: Fill any prescriptions provided by your surgeon, such as pain relief and antibiotics, and stock up on recovery items like soft foods, plenty of water, and a comfortable pillow to help keep your head elevated.
- Plan ahead for support: Arrange for someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours. It’s also a good idea to have a friend or family member assist with daily activities during the first few days of recovery.
- Follow pre-surgery health guidelines: Walk regularly to promote circulation, eat a balanced diet to support healing, avoid alcohol and nicotine to reduce complications, and get plenty of rest to prepare your body for recovery.
What to Expect After Your Neck Lift ?
You may experience the following after your neck lift:
- Buising
- Swelling
- Tightness in the neck area
- Mild discomfort
However, this discomfort will be minimized due to the advanced surgical techniques used by your Korean plastic surgeon. You will likely be fitted with a compression garment or bandage to help reduce swelling and support your neck during healing.
