The neck is often one of the first areas to show visible signs of aging — from sagging skin and horizontal lines to muscle banding and fat accumulation. If you feel your neck is making you look older than you feel, a neck lift can restore smooth, firm contours and enhance your entire facial profile.
At The Plus Plastic Surgery in Seoul, the neck lift is performed by experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons who focus on subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation. Whether done as a standalone procedure or combined with a facelift, the goal is to create a refined, youthful neckline that looks effortlessly elegant.
What Is a Neck Lift?
A neck lift (also called lower rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and jawline by addressing:
- Loose, sagging skin (“turkey neck”)
- Excess fat under the chin or along the neck
- Muscle banding (platysmal bands)
- Poor jawline definition due to skin laxity
The surgery tightens the underlying platysma muscle, removes excess fat and skin, and sculpts the neck for a sleeker, more youthful contour.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Neck Lift Surgery?
You may be an ideal candidate for a neck lift if you:
- Have sagging neck skin or visible platysma bands
- Notice fat accumulation under the chin (double chin)
- Feel your jawline and neck have lost definition
- Want long-lasting results beyond what non-surgical options can offer
- Are healthy, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations
This procedure is common for people in their 40s to 70s, but younger patients with genetically sagging neck tissue may also benefit.
Neck Lift Techniques at The Plus Plastic Surgery
1. Traditional Neck Lift
- Incisions are made behind the ears and possibly under the chin
- The platysma muscle is tightened, and excess fat is removed
- Skin is redraped smoothly for a refined contour

2. Mini Neck Lift
- Smaller incisions and quicker recovery
- Best for patients with mild sagging or early signs of aging
3. Neck Liposuction + Skin Tightening

- Can be combined with RF (radiofrequency) or laser-assisted tightening
4. Combined Neck and Facelift
