I can’t speak for everyone, but I can definitely share my personal journey—because I had a neck lift done at Hugo PS Global Clinic in Seoul, and the results completely exceeded my expectations.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably scoured the internet trying to figure out if this surgery is actually worth it, especially when it comes to sagging skin, jowls, or that “tech neck” we all seem to be getting from staring at screens too much.
Let me walk you through why I chose Hugo PS Global—and why I believe their success rate is incredibly high, especially based on both my results and others I met along the way.
Why I Considered a Neck Lift
I’m in my mid-40s and generally take good care of myself, but no matter how many serums I used, my jawline lost its definition, and I developed loose skin under my chin. I wasn’t ready for a full facelift, but I wanted a subtle, elegant lift that would take years off without making me look “done.”
A friend of mine (who works in the expat beauty industry in Seoul) told me to check out Hugo PS Global. I was skeptical at first—plastic surgery in Korea is often associated with younger patients—but I’m so glad I listened.
The Consultation at Hugo PS Global
I met with Dr. Seonghyeok Yang, who’s known for his facial contouring work and natural results. He did a full facial assessment and suggested a mini neck lift with SMAS tightening, targeting the exact areas I was self-conscious about.
Dr. Yang’s Profile
I was immediately impressed by his attention to detail and the way he tailored the approach to my age, my skin condition, and my facial anatomy. He even showed me before-and-after photos of international patients around my age with similar goals. It felt comforting, not salesy.
Surgery Day & Recovery
The surgery took about 2 hours under twilight sedation. I went home the same day with a compression band and some mild swelling, but zero pain—just tightness. Within a week, I was out and about with a scarf. By week 3, the swelling had mostly subsided, and I could see the new contour of my neck and jawline.
I seriously couldn’t stop looking in the mirror.
What About the Success Rate?
Dr. Yang told me during the consultation that the clinic sees a very high success rate with neck lift surgeries—especially when paired with advanced techniques like SMAS layer lifting and microlipo under the chin (which I also did).
He mentioned that revision rates are extremely low, and satisfaction is very high, particularly because they don’t overcorrect—they aim for a refreshed, natural look rather than dramatic or “tight” results.
From what I experienced and from the few others I spoke to during follow-up visits, I would absolutely agree.
Final Thoughts
If you’re seriously considering a neck lift in Korea and want:
- Natural, elegant results
- Surgeons who understand aging skin and facial harmony
- A clinic with international experience
…then Hugo PS Global Clinic should absolutely be on your list.
