Combining Facelift with Neck Lift
Korea is known for delivering highly refined facial rejuvenation procedures, and combining a facelift with a neck lift is one of the most effective ways to achieve a balanced, youthful appearance. Since aging often affects both the face and neck together, treating them simultaneously provides more natural and harmonious results.

1. What Is a Facelift with Neck Lift?
This combination procedure addresses both
facial sagging and
neck aging in one surgery.
It works by:
• Lifting
cheeks, jawline, and lower face (facelift)
• Tightening
neck skin and muscles (neck lift)
• Improving overall
facial contour and definition
• Creating a smoother
transition between face and neck
π The goal is a cohesive and natural rejuvenation
π 2. Why Combine Facelift with Neck Lift?
Treating only one area can create imbalance.
• Facelift alone → improved face but
aging neck remains
• Neck lift alone → improved neck but
sagging face remains
π Combining both ensures proportion and harmony
β³ 3. What Areas Are Improved?
This combination targets:
•
Sagging cheeks and jowls
• Loss of
jawline definition
•
Double chin or neck fullness
• Loose
neck skin and bands
• Overall
lower face aging
π It creates a more defined jawline and neck contour
π 4. Key Advantages
• βοΈ More
balanced and natural-looking results

Final Thoughts
Combining a
facelift with a neck lift is one of the most effective ways to address
lower-face and neck aging together, creating a more
defined, youthful, and balanced appearance.
For patients with both facial sagging and neck laxity, this approach delivers more complete and natural results than treating each area separately—especially when performed by an experienced surgeon using advanced techniques.
