Define the neck, lift the profile.
Neck fat blurs the jaw-to-neck angle and thickens the profile. ARTNER offers three routes: dissolve neck fat gently, slim-and-tighten the lower face and neck, or remove it with a quick awake liposuction to define the jaw-to-neck line.
The angle that defines a profile.
The jaw-to-neck angle is one of the strongest signals of a youthful profile. Neck fat softens that angle; clearing it — with the right route — sharpens the whole side view.
Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft neck fat layer with no downtime. Face ART-TUNE slims and firms the lower face and neck together. Neck ART-FAT liposuction removes localized neck fat to define the jaw-to-neck angle, under local anesthesia in about 45 minutes to an hour with a 3–5 day social return. Dr. Pyeon reads skin and platysma, not just fat.

Start from your goal.
The quickest way to narrow it down for the neck.
Dissolve
A soft neck layer — Face ARTNER injection.
Slim + firm
Neck fat and skin — Face ART-TUNE.
Define the angle
~45 min–1h — Neck ART-FAT.
The profile lives in the angle.
A defined jaw-to-neck angle is one of the strongest signs of a youthful profile. It's softened by subcutaneous neck fat — but neck heaviness can also come from loose skin or the platysma muscle, and only the fat responds to injections or liposuction.
For neck fat, all three routes apply. The Face ARTNER injection dissolves a soft layer with no downtime; Face ART-TUNE firms the neck and lower face; Neck ART-FAT removes localized fat to sharpen the angle. If the heaviness is skin laxity or platysma banding, we'll tell you honestly that liposuction isn't the fix.
The result is half procedure, half aftercare.
A clean result on the day is only part of the outcome — how the neck settles over the following weeks decides how smooth and even it finishes. That's why ARTNER runs a 2:1 intensive aftercare system: dedicated recovery care rather than a procedure and a goodbye at the door.
Aftercare is delivered with medical devices, not just advice. ARTNER uses Accent Prime by ALMA (Israel) — a radiofrequency and ultrasound platform — to smooth the contour and support skin retraction as you heal. Dr. Pyeon is a clinical advisor to Accent Prime in Korea, so the aftercare is run by someone who helps train other clinics on the device.
Who it suits — and who we discuss further.
A good fit if you…
- Have a soft, full neck that blurs the jaw-to-neck angle
- Want a sharper, more youthful side profile
- Have reasonable neck-skin quality, or will pair with firming
- Are at a stable weight
We'll talk it through if you…
- Have neck banding or laxity driven by the platysma muscle
- Have heaviness from loose skin rather than fat
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding (please wait)
- Expect a change a lift would be needed to achieve
What recovery looks like
- Injection & ART-TUNE: no downtime
- ART-FAT: ~3–5 day social return, mild swelling
- A light chin/neck support helps early recovery
- We plan the timing around your travel
Good to know
- We assess fat, skin and the platysma muscle before choosing a route
- A defined angle depends on more than fat alone
- A stable weight keeps the result
- We review you on WhatsApp after you fly home
Recovery, day by day.
Recovery depends on the route. The non-surgical options have essentially no downtime; ART-FAT liposuction follows a predictable arc.
- Non-surgical (Injection / ART-TUNE)No downtime — you return to your day immediately; facial fat reduces gradually across the course.
- ART-FAT · Day 0A quick awake procedure under local anesthesia through a tiny hidden incision. You leave the same day.
- ART-FAT · Days 1–3Mild swelling under the chin and jaw; manageable with light support.
- ART-FAT · Days 3–5Typical social return — back to everyday life.
- ART-FAT · Weeks 2–4Swelling settles and the jaw-to-neck line begins to show.
- ART-FAT · Months 2–3The final, defined result settles in.

Risks, and how we lower them.
Every medical treatment carries risk, and a clinic that hides it isn't one to trust. Non-surgical routes(Injection, ART-TUNE) may cause temporary swelling, tenderness or bruising at the injection sites, and rarely small firm nodules; results are gradual. ART-FAT liposuction is surgery — expect swelling, bruising and temporary numbness, with less common risks including contour irregularity, fluid collection or infection.
ARTNER lowers these risks deliberately: an internal-medicine specialist screens you for cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine issues first; procedures are awake under local anesthesia, removing the risks of general anesthesia entirely; and we book one case a day, so the director's full attention is on you. When a case isn't safe yet, we say so.

The profile lives in the angle.
A sharp jaw-to-neck angle can take ten years off a profile — but only if the heaviness is fat. If it's skin or muscle banding, I'll tell you honestly that liposuction isn't the fix.

Good to know.
It depends on how much fat there is and whether skin firming matters. Face ARTNER Injection dissolves fat non-surgically over a course; Face ART-TUNE dissolves and tightens the skin together; Neck ART-FAT removes the fat in one procedure. The table above compares your options for the neck, and Dr. Pyeon recommends honestly at consultation — often the smallest route that will work.
Face ARTNER Injection is non-surgical with no downtime — ideal for mild, localized fat, built over a course. Neck ART-FAT physically removes a larger amount in one awake procedure for a permanent change. If loose skin is also a concern, Face ART-TUNE adds skin lifting so you slim without a loose-skin trade-off.
As a guide for foreign patients: Face ARTNER Injection from ₩190,000; Face ART-TUNE from ₩390,000; Neck ART-FAT from ₩1,190,000. Prices exclude VAT and are confirmed at consultation, and combined areas are discounted.
Yes — treatments are often staged or combined. Some patients dissolve first with the injection and refine with ART-FAT, or add ART-TUNE for skin tightening. Dr. Pyeon plans the sequence at consultation so you're not paying for more than you need.
It's ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — a cleaner formula than many off-the-shelf fat-dissolving shots, given as a course. It's patented and trademark-protected.
ART-FAT uses tiny access points, placed discreetly so they're hidden and fade over time. The non-surgical injection and ART-TUNE routes leave no incision at all — only fine needle points.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT liposuction don't come back, so the treated area is a lasting change as long as your weight stays stable. The injection reduces fat gradually; maintaining the result also depends on a stable weight.
Face ARTNER injection and ART-TUNE are same-day with no downtime. For neck ART-FAT liposuction, plan a 3–5 day social return.
Dr. Pyeon's team follows up remotely on WhatsApp in your language and will guide you through anything that comes up, including coordinating with a local clinic if needed. Serious complications are uncommon, especially given the awake, medically-screened approach.
Body contouring is safest when the whole patient is assessed, not just the target area. As an Internal Medicine specialist, Dr. Pyeon screens cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health before treatment — which matters most for international patients and anyone over 50 — and will honestly decline a case that isn't safe yet.
Yes — in English, Chinese (中文) and Japanese (日本語). Send photos of the neck on WhatsApp and Dr. Pyeon's team will recommend the right treatment and a clear quote before you book.
Sharpen your profile before you fly.
Send a side-profile photo on WhatsApp. Dr. Pyeon's team replies in English within 24 hours with the right route for your neck — and a clear quote.
Individual results vary. Non-surgical injections and liposuction are medical procedures performed by a licensed physician after consultation; liposuction is surgical and carries risks, and not every treatment suits every patient.
