Overview

Neck Lift is one of the best surgical procedures in Korea for the neck, because it can lift and tighten the neck significantly in a very short amount of time. The surgery is done on the neck area only. Neck Lift, also called lower rhytidectomy, targets any loose muscles, skin or fat in the neck area. It helps to correct sagging skin, lack of volume, excess fat, and helps with the double chin as well.

The cause for your skin to start sagging in the neck area is that the layer of tissue that connects your neck muscles to your skin, loses its elasticity. By tightening this layer, the elasticity increases and all of the previously mentioned concerns can be treated. The doctor also removes any excess fat and trims any excess skin.

Neck Lift checklist :
