Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) in Seoul, Korea | Grand Plastic Surgery


A Neck Lift—also known as platysmaplasty—is one of the most effective procedures for restoring a smooth, youthful neck and a sharp jawline. At Grand Plastic Surgery in Seoul, the neck lift focuses on tightening the platysma muscle, removing excess skin, and refining the neck contour for elegant, long-lasting rejuvenation.

This procedure is ideal for individuals struggling with sagging neck skin, vertical banding, under-chin laxity, or loss of jawline definition.

What Is a Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty)?

A neck lift improves the appearance of the neck by tightening the inner platysma muscle, removing loose skin, and lifting the deeper tissues that cause aging beneath the chin and along the jawline.

The procedure addresses:

  • Neck bands (vertical platysmal banding)
  • Loose, wrinkled neck skin
  • Turkey-neck appearance
  • Under-chin sagging
  • Blurred jawline definition
  • Lower face heaviness caused by neck laxity

By combining internal tightening with skin repositioning, the result looks naturally firm—not stretched.

Neck Lift at Grand Plastic Surgery

Grand Plastic Surgery specializes in facial lifting procedures that create refined, natural results. Their neck lift technique focuses on structural correction rather than surface tightening alone, ensuring a clean jawline and smooth neck that blend seamlessly with the lower face.

Common goals for patients at Grand include:

  • Sharper jawline contour
  • Reduction of neck sagging
  • Correction of vertical platysma bands
  • Removal of loose or crepey neck skin
  • Achieving a youthful transition from chin to neck
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results

The approach prioritizes minimal visibility of scars and an elegant, balanced profile.

How the Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty) Works

Each surgical plan is customized, but the core steps usually include:

1. Incisions Around the Ear and Under the Chin

Incisions are placed discreetly to hide within natural creases or under the jaw.

2. Platysma Muscle Tightening

The central platysma is tightened or sutured together to remove neck banding and support long-term firmness.

3. Removal of Excess Skin

Loose or hanging skin is carefully removed to smooth the neck area.

4. Fat Refinement (If Needed)

Fat deposits under the chin or along the jaw may be sculpted to improve definition.

5. Jawline and Neck Contouring

The deeper tissues are repositioned upward, restoring youthful angles and clean transitions.

This combination delivers a refined, structured neck profile.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

A neck lift at Grand is ideal for individuals experiencing:

  • Prominent neck bands
  • Loose, sagging neck skin
  • Under-chin fullness or laxity
  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Heavy lower face due to neck descent
  • Aging that isn’t improving with non-surgical methods

Most candidates are in their 40s–70s, though suitability depends on skin laxity and neck anatomy.

Recovery Timeline

Recovery is moderate and typically smooth.

  • Days 1–3: Tightness, swelling, mild bruising
  • Day 5–7: Stitches removed
  • 1–2 weeks: Light activities resume
  • 3–4 weeks: Neck shape continues refining
  • 2–3 months: Final contour becomes visible

Many international patients stay in Seoul 10–14 days before returning home.

Expected Results

A neck lift (platysmaplasty) at Grand Plastic Surgery provides:

  • A tighter, smoother neck
  • Sharper jawline definition
  • Reduction of vertical bands
  • A youthful chin-to-neck transition
  • Firmer lower face appearance
  • Natural movement without tightness

Results are long lasting due to the deeper tissue support.

Neck Lift vs. Facelift

A neck lift focuses on the neck and jawline, while a facelift targets the midface and lower face. Many patients combine the two procedures to achieve the most balanced and dramatic rejuvenation.

If the primary concerns are neck sagging or banding, a neck lift alone may be sufficient. If lower face sagging is also present, combining with a facelift creates the strongest, most harmonious results.
