Face + Neck Lift Combination in Korea


A combined face and neck lift is one of the most effective anti-aging procedures in Korea for restoring youthful contours in both the lower face and neck at the same time. This approach targets sagging cheeks, jowls, jawline heaviness, and loose neck skin in one coordinated procedure, creating a smoother, firmer, and more lifted appearance with long-lasting results.

Korea is widely known for natural, balanced lifting techniques that enhance your features without looking overly tight or artificial.

What Is a Face + Neck Lift Combination?

A face and neck lift combination treats aging signs across the entire lower two-thirds of the face. Instead of lifting one area at a time, both facial and neck tissues are tightened together for a more complete and harmonious result.

This combination typically includes:

  • Tightening the SMAS or deeper layers of the face
  • Lifting sagging cheeks
  • Reducing jowls
  • Sharpening the jawline
  • Smoothing loose neck skin
  • Improving neck bands and platysmal separation

The unified approach ensures the face and neck age consistently, avoiding mismatched rejuvenation.

Why Combine Face and Neck Lifts?

A facelift alone cannot fully correct issues below the jawline, and a neck lift alone cannot lift the drooping tissues of the lower face. Aging affects these areas together, so combining them often provides the most natural and complete improvement.

Benefits include:

  • Stronger jawline definition
  • Better correction of jowls
  • Smoother, firmer neck
  • More youthful facial contour
  • Longer-lasting results
  • One anesthesia session
  • One recovery period
  • More symmetrical overall rejuvenation

The most dramatic transformations come from treating the face and neck together.

How the Face + Neck Lift Combination Works

Although each plan is personalized, the procedure generally includes:

1. Incisions Around the Ear and Hairline

Placed strategically to minimize visibility.

2. SMAS or Deep Layer Lifting

The deeper muscular layer is repositioned upward for structural support.

3. Cheek and Jowl Repositioning

Drooping tissue is lifted to restore natural cheek contours and reduce heaviness around the mouth.

4. Jawline Sculpting

Restores a youthful, clean angle along the lower face.

5. Neck Rejuvenation

Often includes tightening the platysma muscle, removing excess skin, and correcting vertical bands or sagging.

6. Skin Redraping

Skin is smoothed naturally without excessive pulling.

By working on deeper layers first, the results look natural and maintain longevity.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A combined face and neck lift is ideal for individuals with:

  • Sagging cheeks
  • Jowls along the jawline
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Drooping lower face
  • Loose or wrinkled neck skin
  • Visible neck bands
  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Skin that no longer responds to non-surgical lifting

Most candidates are in their 40s to 60s, though skin quality is more important than age.

Recovery Timeline

Healing is similar to a facelift but includes additional neck care.

  • Days 1–3: Tightness, swelling
  • Day 5–7: Stitches removed
  • 1–2 weeks: Most patients return to daily activities
  • 3–4 weeks: Noticeable refinement
  • 2–3 months: Natural results develop fully

International patients usually stay in Korea for 10–14 days.

Expected Results

A combined face and neck lift achieves:

  • A lifted, firmer lower face
  • Greatly reduced jowls
  • A defined jawline
  • Smooth, youthful-looking neck contours
  • Balanced and harmonious rejuvenation
  • Long-lasting structural improvement

Results typically last 10–15+ years, depending on technique and lifestyle.

Face + Neck Lift vs. Facelift Alone

A facelift alone improves sagging cheeks and jowls but cannot fully address neck laxity. When neck aging is present—and it usually is—the combination delivers a more complete transformation.

If your goal is a clean jawline and smooth neck, the combined approach provides the strongest results.
