Neck Lift

Hard-to-cover neck wrinkles are like tree rings: they reveal your age.

Neck wrinkles aren't easily hidden with makeup or non-surgical treatments, and they become more noticeable as you get older. The neck is the most honest sign of age.

Neck wrinkles look different at every age. Their depth, width, and sagging all vary.

20s to 30s: congenital horizontal lines

Formed by congenital factors, these horizontal neck lines are the most common type in people in their 20s and 30s

40s: combined horizontal and vertical lines

As aging progresses, fat builds up under the chin and the skin loosens, forming horizontal and vertical lines at the same time

50s: deep vertical lines

Muscle and skin lose firmness and sagging worsens, forming deep, distinct vertical neck lines

Who it's for

• Anyone bothered by deep horizontal and vertical neck lines
• Anyone whose sagging jawline blurs the boundary between face and neck
• Anyone with severely sagging, loose skin under the chin (double chin)
• Anyone whose neck sagging hasn't improved with standard non-surgical treatments
• Anyone who wants a smooth, firm neckline

Neck lift

• A neck lift corrects both sagging neck skin and the loose neck muscle (platysma) to sharpen a sagging neckline and jawline. By working from the muscle layer rather than the skin surface, it improves deep neck wrinkles and sagging.

How a neck lift is performed

01. Detailed analysis

We carefully assess the depth of your wrinkles, how loose the platysma (neck muscle) is, and your skin thickness to plan the extent of surgery.

02. Hidden incision

A fine, precise incision is made along the line behind the ear and the hairline so the scar doesn't show.

03. Fascia fixation

We don't just pull the skin. The neck muscle (platysma) and fascia, which cause the sagging, are pulled taut so the deep tissue is firmly secured first.

04. Removing excess skin

Loose, unneeded skin left over after the muscle is corrected is neatly trimmed away.

05. Fine suturing

The skin is meticulously closed in two layers along its natural grain to minimize scarring and speed up recovery.

06. The finished line

The result is a smooth, firm neckline free of deep wrinkles and sagging.

Key points of neck lift surgery at DOY JUN Plastic Surgery

A lift that corrects the muscle

The key to a neck lift is the muscle, not the skin. Tying together the separated platysma muscle helps the lifting effect last longer.

Profile line design

We create a jawline with the ideal angle running from the tip of the chin down to the neck

Hidden incision line

The incision is placed inside the hairline or behind the line of the ear cartilage, so there's almost no visible scar.

Deep fat removal

We also address the deep fat layer beneath the platysma, which is hard to remove with liposuction.
