Loose Neck Skin Correction in Seoul | Gangnam CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic & Cost

What is Loose Neck Skin Correction?

Loose neck skin correction is a cosmetic procedure that tightens and lifts sagging skin around the neck and jawline, often referred to as a "turkey neck" or "neck wattle." This condition commonly develops with age due to collagen loss, weakened muscles, or significant weight loss. Treatment options include surgical neck lift (platysmaplasty), laser tightening, radiofrequency therapy, or ultrasound-based treatments to restore a firmer, smoother neckline.

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, we offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions for loose neck skin. Our board-certified surgeons and aesthetic specialists design personalized treatment plans using advanced technologies to refine the neck contour, eliminate sagging, and rejuvenate your overall appearance with natural-looking results.

Who is a Good Candidate for Loose Neck Skin Correction?

You may be a good candidate for neck skin tightening if you:

✔ Have visibly loose, wrinkled, or sagging skin on your neck or under the chin
✔ Notice a loss of jawline definition or neck firmness with age
✔ Desire a smoother, more youthful neck and profile
✔ Are in good general health and maintain stable weight
✔ Have realistic expectations and are open to surgical or non-invasive options

At CDU Plastic Surgery Clinic, your consultation includes a detailed evaluation of skin elasticity and neck anatomy. Whether you opt for a neck lift or a less invasive skin-tightening treatment, our goal is to restore a youthful, elegant neckline that enhances your facial balance and confidence.

How is Loose Neck Skin Correction Performed?

1. Consultation & Evaluation

• Physical examination of the neck area to assess skin laxity, muscle banding, and fat accumulation
• Identification of aging-related changes such as “turkey neck,” double chin, or horizontal creases
• Discussion of desired results—whether tightening skin, restoring jawline definition, or reducing visible neck bands
• Evaluation for surgical vs. non-surgical options based on skin condition and patient goals

2. Treatment Approach

• Treatment is selected based on the degree of sagging and the patient's anatomy:

– Neck Lift Surgery (Platysmaplasty): Surgically removes excess skin, tightens neck muscles, and repositions soft tissue for a defined neckline
– Liposuction: Removes excess fat under the chin and jaw to enhance contour; often combined with a neck lift
– Thread Lifting: Minimally invasive technique that uses dissolvable threads to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen
– Ultrasound or RF Lifting (Ultherapy, Thermage): Non-surgical options that use energy to tighten skin and improve elasticity gradually
– Laser or RF Microneedling: Improves fine wrinkles and skin texture by boosting collagen from within
• Surgical methods are performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia

3. Recovery & Aftercare

• Surgical treatments involve swelling, tightness, and possible bruising for 1–2 weeks
• Compression garments may be worn for several days to minimize swelling and support tissue healing
• Non-surgical treatments require minimal to no downtime, with mild redness or tingling lasting a few hours to days
• Avoid sun exposure, neck strain, and vigorous movement during early healing
• Follow-up appointments monitor skin tightening, scar healing, and neck contour development

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery Timeline:

• Surgical Lift: Swelling peaks at 3–5 days, subsides in 2–3 weeks
• Thread/Non-surgical Methods: Mild soreness for 1–3 days, no downtime
• Return to Work/Daily Activities: 3–10 days depending on method
• Final Neck Contour: Fully visible within 1–3 months as tissues settle

Adhering to aftercare—especially maintaining head elevation, avoiding smoking, and following skincare instructions—is key to achieving smooth, long-lasting results.
