Necklift

“What Is Necklift?”

As the aging process develops, the neck skin sags down and fat tissues accumulate creating a double chin. VIP Necklift removes excess skin and fats near the jawline and neck. If the skin of your neck and chin is greatly sagging, it can be addressed by peeling the SMAS layer on the face, up to the jawline and the bottom of the ears. The SMAS layer necklift requires a high level of expertise; if wrongly done, the surgery result may look unnatural or leaves a scarring. At our clinic, the scar is not visible because the doctors have researched and gathered know-how techniques for 24 years to create the finest surgery quality.

Doctor’s Message

Depending on the severity of your neck aging process, there are various treatments to solve. Once the aging process develops, not only the face skin sags down but also the neck skin sags down together. It is important to take care of your neck skin along with the face skin. Fine wrinkles or minor loose skin can be treated with the Non-Surgical Neck Wrinkle Removal Lifting (filler, VIP Cocktail Injections, laser.) If you are concerned due to major neck skin laxity, Necklift is the best solution for you. The Necklift along with *Smart Lipolysis Laser is one of the popular combination to simultaneously remove the excess fats and tighten the jawline area.

What Essentially Causes the Sagging Skin?

SMAS layer is a thin layer between the subcutaneous fat tissues and muscle tissues that are closely attached to the dermis layer. This SMAS layer is sensitively affected by the pulling gravity which becomes the main reason of a sagging skin. Therefore, if you are looking for a fundamental and definite result, it is important to not only pull the dermis layer but also the SMAS layer together to prevent a secondary sagging process.

Necklift Surgery Point

01    The Necklift result is more effective when performed with facelift surgeries together. (Extended Deep Plane Facelift)

02    The Necklift dramatically improves the skin laxity and deep wrinkles.

03    This surgery is semi-permanent which does not require a secondary surgery if the skin is maintained well enough. Once the SMAS layer is pulled to the original position, the result lasts immensely compared to any other anti-aging surgeries.

04    The Necklift is performed with a minimum incision in the back of the ears and therefore the scarring is almost invisible. After 6 months to one year of the surgery, the scarring shows less redness and becomes nearly invisible.

05    The doctor pulls the neck skin and SMAS layer consistently giving a natural and smooth texture.
