— But It Is Possible to Create the Appearance of a Longer Neck —

Many patients ask:

“Is there a procedure to make my neck longer?”

The answer is simple:

👉 There is no procedure that physically lengthens the neck.

However,

👉 it is absolutely possible to make the neck appear longer.

And this difference is key to achieving an elegant upper body.

■ Why the Neck Appears Short

A “short neck” is rarely caused by the neck itself.

In most cases, it is influenced by surrounding structures:

• Fullness along the jawline
• Submental (under-chin) fat
• Prominent trapezius muscles
• Volume in the upper arms and shoulders

These factors reduce the visible length of the neck,

making it appear shorter than it actually is.

■ The Concept: Remove What Hides the Neck

Instead of trying to “lengthen” the neck,

the goal is to:

👉 eliminate the elements that obscure it

By doing so:

• The jawline becomes more defined
• The boundary between face and neck is clarified
• Vertical lines are emphasized

This creates the illusion of a longer, more elegant neck.

■ AVAN TOKYO’s 3-Step Approach

At AVAN TOKYO, we recommend a combination strategy:

① Arm Liposuction

Reduces upper body volume, creating a lighter and slimmer silhouette.

② Submental Liposuction

Removes fullness under the chin, sharpening the jawline and neck contour.

③ Trapezius Botox

Softens the bulk of the trapezius muscle, making the neck appear longer.

■ Beauty Is About Lines, Not Parts

True refinement comes from treating the upper body as a whole:

• Face
• Neck
• Shoulders
• Arms

By designing these as one continuous line, we achieve:

👉 A longer-looking neck

👉 A sharper jawline

👉 A more delicate and refined upper body

■ Final Message

The neck is not defined by its actual length,

but by how it is perceived.

👉 Neck length is a matter of design.

If you feel your neck looks short,

the solution is not the neck itself—

but the overall contour from the face to the shoulders.
