Hello, I’m Lee Seong-jun, Chief Director of the Seoul branch of Liting Plastic Surgery.
These days, many people are putting effort into managing aging, so it is often difficult to guess someone’s age just by looking at their face.
However, at the same time, it can feel a little ironic that the saying “you can tell a person’s age by looking at the neck” is so widely used.
That is because even people who pay attention to facial aging often do not give enough attention to the neck, which is just as visible as the face.
Moreover, because sagging in the face and neck tends to occur together, it is worth looking for a way to improve both at the same time.
Today, I will introduce the criteria that are more important than the neck lift cost when considering a neck lift.

Reasons the face can look larger
Many people worry that their face looks larger than it used to as they age.
Although facial muscle development depending on habits or expressions can be one cause, aging has an especially strong effect.
Because the face and neck have thin skin and are directly exposed to ultraviolet rays, age-related skin sagging and loss of elasticity become more noticeable.
At this point, the cheeks and jawline sag, wrinkles form on the neck, and the boundary between the jawline and neck disappears, making the face look larger than it really is.
In other words, to improve the changes caused by facial aging, you need to improve not only facial aging but also the neck wrinkles caused by neck aging in order to look naturally younger.

How to improve neck sagging
I mentioned that neck sagging and neck wrinkles are closely related to sagging cheeks and jowls—in other words, sagging in the mid to lower face.
The key point is that the sagging in the lower face and the wrinkles that form on the neck must be improved at the same time.
Because the degree of sagging differs by age group, it is also important to perform a lift in a way that is suitable for each age group.
A neck lift should be performed by comprehensively considering various personal factors, such as age and individual skin characteristics, and using the method needed for each person.
At this time, applying additional care depending on the area of concern for each individual can lead to even more efficient results.

Improvement methods by age group
If you are a woman in your 40s, facial sagging may not be very severe, but neck sagging—an area that tends to receive less attention—can stand out more.
In this case, improvement is relatively simple by combining a neck lift to improve the loose neck line with a mini deep lift to improve sagging in the mid to lower face.
If you are a woman in your 50s, where both facial sagging and neck sagging are severe, the V-Neck Lifting developed by our clinic may help.
This method combines cheek-and-jaw lifting with a mini lift, and is recommended when both the jawline and neck sagging are severe.
As such, rather than focusing on the neck lift cost, it is important to find a method that suits your age and the condition of your aging.

What is V-Neck Lifting?
The V-Neck Lifting developed by our clinic is a method that lifts not only sagging skin but also the SMAS layer.
Thanks to this, a stronger lifting result can be expected, and the maintenance period becomes longer.
It can help improve not only neck wrinkles but also the jawline and double chin, and it can also improve sagging cheeks, prominent deep cheek fat, and marionette lines.
In addition, if needed, various methods such as liposuction, fat grafting, or fillers can be combined, which is another advantage of V-Neck Lifting because it allows for a more efficient application.

The importance of the SMAS layer
The importance of the SMAS layer in V-Neck Lifting lies not simply in lifting it together, but in dissecting it and lifting it.
The human skin consists of the epidermis and dermis on the outside, then the subcutaneous fat layer and fascia, and then continues into muscle.
The fibromuscular layer located between the subcutaneous fat layer and the muscle is the SMAS layer.
The SMAS layer is a cause of wrinkles and aging, and if it is simply pulled up without being dissected, there is a force that makes it return to its original position, reducing the effectiveness of the lift.
At our clinic, by dissecting the SMAS layer and lifting the skin surface at the same time, we increase satisfaction through results rather than through the neck lift cost.

Who is a good candidate for V-Neck Lifting?
Because the core of V-Neck Lifting is improving the lower face and neck wrinkles at the same time, it is recommended for people concerned about these two issues.
It is also recommended for people with severe neck wrinkles who need strong lifting, and for people who have more chin fat than would be expected for their weight.
Even people who were dissatisfied because their facial line did not improve with existing non-surgical lifting methods can expect satisfying results.
If you feel that your face is gradually looking larger as you age, this procedure can also help restore the boundary between the jawline and neck.
This is why you should not choose based only on the neck lift cost, but instead choose V-Neck Lifting, which can address a variety of concerns in ways suited to each person.

A place that proceeds with the method best suited to each person
Even when strong lifting is needed, if you become fixated only on the before-and-after difference, the result will not only look unnatural but also increase the likelihood of causing abnormal symptoms.
This is because cutting away a lot and pulling up a lot does not necessarily produce satisfying results.
Also, if you choose based only on the neck lift cost, there is a higher risk of receiving a standardized, factory-style lift rather than one tailored to the individual.
At our clinic, we consider each person’s aging condition and their skin and fascia structure, and we perform the procedure by cutting and lifting appropriately within a safe range.
We also carefully manage post-lift care and monitor the results and recovery, so we hope you will visit us with confidence.
Become younger tomorrow than you were yesterday!
