Neck Lift Surgery

NECK LIFT

Improves vertical neck wrinkles that
sag with age.

The causes of neck wrinkles vary from person to person.
Some have congenital horizontal wrinkles that
deepen with age, others had no neck wrinkles
but developed vertical wrinkles from aging.
The appropriate type of neck lift surgery also
changes according to age.

More satisfying results can be achieved when
combined with facelift surgery.

Understanding the cause
enables wrinkle improvement.

Vertical Wrinkles

Unlike horizontal wrinkles, these are wrinkles that
form as the neck’s skin and muscles lose elasticity
due to aging.
If there are sagging muscles, they must be
addressed together (double chin muscle plication).
Improvement is difficult with regular Botox or fillers.

Submental Sagging

Submental sagging that appears like a double chin
occurs when muscles and skin simultaneously lose
elasticity and fat accumulates.

When viewed from the front, sagging skin appears
like a double chin, and improvement is difficult
with liposuction or fat-dissolving injections.

General Neck Sagging

General neck sagging caused by skin stretching
usually creates both horizontal and vertical
wrinkles.

When caused by skin sagging, improvement is
made through face-neck lift surgery according to
the degree of neck stretching. In cases of severe
muscle and skin sagging, double chin muscle
plication can be performed together to create a
defined submental line.

Neck lift surgical methods

2-1. Face-Neck Lift Surgery Method

To simultaneously improve neck wrinkles caused
by aging along with facelift surgery, incision and
dissection are performed from behind the ear to the
back neck hairline area to correct sagging skin and
tissue together.

2-2. Double Chin Muscle Plication
Surgical Method

A surgery that removes unnecessary fat through a
small incision under the chin and ties the stretched
platysma muscle (neck muscle).

Double chin muscle plication removes thick double
chin fat and pulls the separated submental muscles
to both sides, tying them together in one place to
create a jawline.

Recovery expertise—
Why Planet’s recovery is fast

Most facelifts dissect through the middle of the subcutaneous layer to save time.
In such cases, blood vessels in the subcutaneous
layer may be damaged, and if too close to the skin
layer, unevenness or skin damage may occur.

Planet’s Dr. Shin Dong-woo dissects accurately and
uniformly along just above the SMAS layer and
performs immediate hemostasis when bleeding
occurs, enabling rapid recovery.

Scar concerns—Planet is with you.

Dr. Shin Dong-woo maintains the ear shape by
considering the tension on the skin.
To reduce scarring, tension on the skin must be
reduced.

The incision is made behind the tragal cartilage,
removing skin while leaving only the minimum
amount that doesn’t restrict movement,
maintaining the ear shape as is.

Dr. Shin Dong-woo provides customized yet natural
facelift results tailored to each patient’s condition
through facelift expertise that combines the
powerful, lasting effects of deep plane with the
delicate control of dual plane.
