AVAN TOKYO’s approach to creating an elegant upper body silhouette

“I want my neck to look longer.”

This is actually one of the most common aesthetic concerns among women.

However, the truth is:

There is currently no surgery that can fundamentally “lengthen the neck” itself.

So why do some people appear to have:

• A longer neck
• A smaller face
• A more refined upper body silhouette

even when their actual neck length is similar?

At AVAN TOKYO, we do not focus on the neck alone.

We design the entire upper body line, including:

• Shoulders
• Shoulder blades
• Trapezius muscles
• Upper arms
• Décolletage

because true elegance comes from overall balance.

The Neck Is Not the Only Problem

In many cases, what makes the neck appear short is:

• Rounded shoulders
• Open shoulder blades
• Bulky upper trapezius muscles
• Volume around the upper arms and shoulders
• Poor posture

These factors create the illusion of a “buried neck.”

Therefore, the key is not to physically lengthen the neck,

but to:

“Refine and reduce volume around the neck area.”

Step 1｜Posture Correction Is the Most Important

The simplest and most effective method is posture improvement.

Especially:

Bringing the shoulder blades inward

When the shoulder blades spread outward:

• The shoulders roll forward
• The neck appears shorter
• The décolletage looks narrower
• The upper arms appear wider

On the other hand, proper posture can make:

• The shoulders look lower
• The neck appear longer
• The collarbone more defined
• The face line sharper

This is why posture is the foundation of upper body aesthetics.

Step 2｜Shoulder Botox for a Slimmer Neck Line

The next important step is:

Botox to the upper trapezius muscles

This is especially effective for patients with:

• Bulky shoulders
• A short-looking neck
• Chronic shoulder tension
• Teeth grinding or clenching habits

By reducing trapezius volume, the neck-to-shoulder line becomes softer and more elegant.

At AVAN TOKYO, we focus not only on relaxing the muscle,

but on creating:

“A naturally elongated neck silhouette.”

Step 3｜Liposuction Around the Arms and Shoulders

Another major factor is volume around the upper arms and shoulders.

Excess fullness around:

• The front shoulder
• Axillary area
• Posterior shoulder
• Upper arm base

can visually shorten the neck.

By refining these areas through liposuction, we can improve:

• Neck contour
• Collarbone visibility
• Décolletage definition
• Facial balance

At AVAN TOKYO, we especially focus on:

“Eliminating lateral fullness when the arms are closed.”

This dramatically changes how long and elegant the neck appears.

AVAN TOKYO’s Philosophy: Not “Points,” but “Lines”

Beauty is not created by treating only one area.

What matters most is:

“The continuity of the upper body line.”

Sharp upper arms, elegant shoulders, defined collarbones, and natural breast contours all work together to create a refined silhouette.
