Treating Neck Wrinkles Without Surgery: Dr. Wontak Choi on Filler and Thread Fill-Up Lifting

Neck lines are often the hardest sign of age to manage, even for people who look young in the face. A Korean news report from Sports Chosun looked at ways to reduce them and included comments from Dr. Wontak Choi, representative director of Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul. The report begins with daily habits and then moves to treatment.

All treatments at Yaan Clinic are performed by a skilled, specialized medical team, delivering standardized, high-quality care based on the clinic's own proven clinical protocols.

Daily habits that help

The report lists simple prevention steps: avoid sleeping on a very high pillow, avoid resting the chin on the hand with the neck pulled in, and keep a good posture. It also recommends stretching the neck and shoulders and tilting the head back from time to time to extend the chin line, and using sunscreen and moisturizer outdoors.

Fill-Up Lifting

For wrinkles that have already formed, Dr. Choi described Fill-Up Lifting as a non-surgical treatment suited to the neck. The wrinkles are first filled with filler, and absorbable PDO threads are then used to lift the sagging skin.

He said the approach works on deep lines that expensive laser treatments do not correct well, takes little time and needs no special recovery period, which suits busy people. Patients who keep up good posture and neck stretching after treatment can expect a longer-lasting result, he added.

He also said the right approach varies with skin condition and the shape and location of the wrinkles, so a full consultation with an experienced doctor should come before treatment.

The report notes that people who manage their weight and exercise carefully and look younger in the face are often frustrated by neck lines, sometimes called age rings, because lifestyle changes cannot remove lines that have already formed.
