Neck Liposuction in Cheongdam, Gangnam — restoring the chin-to-neck angle.
The jaw-to-neck angle is one of the strongest signals of a youthful profile, and neck fat softens it. ARTNER Cheongdam offers three routes for neck fat removal in Korea: dissolve a soft layer with the Face ARTNER injection (from ₩190,000, no downtime), slim-and-tighten the lower face and neck with Face ART-TUNE (from ₩390,000), or remove localized neck fat with awake ART-FAT liposuction (₩1,190,000) 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 — if the heaviness is banding or laxity, we say liposuction is not the fix.
What defines the jaw-to-neck angle — and how is it treated in Cheongdam?
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. At ARTNER Cheongdam we read skin and platysma before fat.

Dr. Pyeon reads skin and platysma, not just fat.
Is it neck fat, loose skin, platysma banding — or the chin?
ARTNER Cheongdam examines the profile and the neck in motion before choosing a route. Four honest answers — including two that liposuction cannot fix — before you book a flight to Korea.
A soft, pinchable neck layer
Fat between the chin and the collarbone that blurs the angle, with reasonable skin. Face ARTNER injection for a modest layer; awake ART-FAT neck liposuction (₩1,190,000, 45–60 minutes) for a defined one.
Fat with a softening neck
Fat plus skin that no longer retracts — usually after 40 or after weight loss. Face ART-TUNE adds Tune Liner tightening; after liposuction, Accent Prime aftercare firms the line. Marked laxity needs a lifting-led plan.
Platysma banding
Vertical cords that appear when you tense the neck are the platysma muscle, not fat — removing fat can make them more visible. ARTNER Cheongdam identifies this first and discusses a different plan rather than selling liposuction.
Really the chin, not the neck
A heavy-looking profile from a receding chin or a submental pad above the angle is a double chin and jawline. Chin and neck are usually planned together as one profile.
A relaxed profile photo and one with the neck tensed is enough for Dr. Pyeon's team in Cheongdam to tell you which of the four you are — and whether liposuction is the right tool at all — within 24 hours.

~45 min–1h — Neck ART-FAT.
Why does the profile live in the angle at ARTNER Gangnam?
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.
Why is the result half procedure, half aftercare at ARTNER Gangnam?
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.

What is the recovery time in Cheongdam, 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.

What are the risks — and how does ARTNER 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 the director plans and performs every case at ARTNER Cheongdam personally, never delegated. When a case isn't safe yet, we say so.
Are the treatments registered in Korea?
ARTNER's signatures — ARTNER Injection, ART-TUNE and ART-FAT — are registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (특허청). The injection is a cleaner formula by design: no steroids, no hyaluronidase, no PPC. You receive the originals only at ARTNER.
Registered with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). Certificate numbers available on request.
Why it only works when the heaviness is fat — the director on neck contouring
A sharp jaw-to-neck angle can take ten years off a profile — but only if the heaviness is fat. At ARTNER Cheongdam I check the platysma and the skin before anything else, and if it is banding or laxity I tell you honestly that liposuction is not the fix.

How long to stay
Face ARTNER injection and Face ART-TUNE are same-day with no downtime. For neck ART-FAT liposuction plan a 3–5 day social return in Seoul: 45 minutes to an hour under local anesthesia through tiny hidden incisions, a light chin-and-neck band at night for a few days, stitches and Accent Prime aftercare around day 7 or on your next visit, then fly in 1–2 weeks. The angle shows at 2–4 weeks and is final at about three months.
Remote follow-up

Neck liposuction in Korea — questions answered.
It depends on whether it is fat, skin or muscle. A soft, pinchable neck layer suits the Face ARTNER injection or awake ART-FAT neck liposuction; fat with a softening neck suits Face ART-TUNE; platysma banding and marked laxity are not liposuction cases and ARTNER Cheongdam says so before you book.
Awake neck ART-FAT ₩1,190,000, Face ARTNER injection ₩190,000 per session, Face ART-TUNE ₩390,000 per session, Tune Liner alone from ₩290,000. KRW, ex-VAT, identical to the Korean price list at ARTNER Cheongdam — no foreigner surcharge; gas sedation ₩100,000 optional.
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle over the neck; with age its edges can appear as vertical cords when you tense. Removing fat over banding can make the cords more visible, so ARTNER Cheongdam identifies it first and discusses a lifting or muscle-directed plan instead of liposuction.
Usually — the chin, jawline and neck read as one profile, and treating only one leaves a step at the angle. ARTNER Cheongdam commonly plans submental and neck contouring in the same awake session, quoted in writing at consultation.
1–2 days for an injection or ART-TUNE visit. For awake neck liposuction, a 3–5 day social return — swelling and the neck band are the reason — with stitches around day 7 or on your next visit, then fly in 1–2 weeks. Keep two weeks between treatment and an important event.
Swelling peaks day 1–3 with a light band at night, social return at day 3–5, bruising fades over 1–2 weeks; the angle shows at 2–4 weeks and is final at about three months. Sleep with the head raised, avoid pressing the area, and skip alcohol and saunas for the first week.
Not if the skin is assessed first. Elastic skin retracts over 2–3 months; skin that no longer retracts needs tightening built into the plan — Face ART-TUNE or Accent Prime aftercare — and marked laxity needs a lifting-led plan, which ARTNER Cheongdam will tell you honestly.
ARTNER Injection is non-surgical, no downtime, gradual — for mild, pinchable fat, built over a course. ART-FAT removes a larger amount in one awake procedure under local anesthesia for a lasting change. If the skin is loose, ART-TUNE adds tightening so you slim without a fold. ARTNER Cheongdam recommends honestly — often the smallest route that will work.
Yes. Treatments at ARTNER Cheongdam are often staged or combined — ART-FAT on the main volume, then ARTNER Injection or ART-TUNE on smaller neighbouring pockets after the recovery window, or adjacent areas done in one session. Plans are sequenced so recoveries do not overlap.
ARTNER's proprietary lipolytic, patent-registered in Korea and deliberately formulated with no steroids, no hyaluronidase and no PPC — ingredients in many generic fat-dissolving shots that can cause hardening or uncontrolled spread. The composition is shown at consultation.
ART-FAT uses tiny access points placed discreetly in natural creases that fade over months and are hidden once healed. Keep them out of direct sun and follow the aftercare; injections leave no scars.
Fat cells removed by ART-FAT or dissolved by the injection course do not return; the treated area is a lasting change while your weight stays stable. Remaining cells can enlarge with significant weight gain — fat does not move elsewhere — and skin changes with age.
Dr. Pyeon's team follows up remotely on WhatsApp in your language, reviews photos and guides you on what to do locally; fever, one-sided heat or increasing pain are reported immediately. Treatment records and an English operative report are provided for your home doctor on request.
Body contouring is safest when the whole patient is assessed, not just the target area. Dr. Pyeon screens cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine health, separates fat from skin, muscle and bone, and plans adjacent areas as one line — so the plan at ARTNER Cheongdam treats the actual cause and declines cases contouring cannot help.
