Overview A Surgery That Corrects the Separated Platysma and Lifts the Skin to Re-Create a Blurred Jawline-Neck Boundary
As the skin and muscles of the neck sag with age, neck lines form and the jawline becomes blurred. A neck lift is a surgery that pulls sagging neck skin and facial expression muscles upward to refine sagging neck folds and the jawline.
A neck lift does not simply tighten the skin; it is a surgery that corrects the platysma muscle that has separated to either side and lifts the skin to re-create a blurred boundary between the jawline and neck.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
We have compiled the questions patients ask most often before a consultation.
It is a surgery that corrects and repositions sagging neck skin, the facial expression muscle layer (SMAS), and the platysma muscle that has separated to either side, refining sagging neck folds and a blurred jawline. Depending on your condition, it can be planned together with a facelift.
A thread lift is a non-incisional treatment that lifts by inserting threads, whereas a neck lift is a surgery that directly corrects the skin, SMAS, and platysma. Surgical lifting is considered when sagging is pronounced or longer-lasting results are desired.
Because the skin and muscle layer are corrected directly, results tend to last a long time. However, aging continues, so how long results last may vary depending on lifestyle and care.
Swelling and bruising gradually subside over 1-2 weeks, and you can return to daily activities after suture removal. The pace of recovery varies by individual.
Incisions are designed along less visible locations such as around the ears and the hairline, and they tend to fade over time. As with any surgery, swelling, bruising, and temporary reduced sensation may occur, so we evaluate these thoroughly during your consultation.
It depends on the degree of sagging, the extent of correction, and whether it is combined with a facelift. We provide precise details after checking your condition during the consultation.
