What the deep compartment adds to a neck plan

Deep neck lift cost
The short answer
Rewind does not sell the deep neck as a single headline figure. Its fee sheet carries the subplatysmal work as an addition to a chin and jaw line plan, so a quotation is assembled from whichever listed operations the examination justifies: the suction of the fat above the muscle, the extraction of the deposit beneath it, the tightening of the platysma, and, where the finding calls for it, reduction of the gland under the jaw. Anaesthetic fees are already counted inside every listed figure and VAT is charged separately. A neck being corrected after earlier surgery carries its own listed line instead of the first-operation one.
Figures on this page come from Rewind's own fee sheet for contouring surgery. The operative description comes from the clinic's Korean surgical page for grape-cluster fat removal. Theatre time and the anaesthetic used are unpublished by the clinic, so no part of this page attaches a fee to either.
Under the question there is usually a sharper one: why should the deep line cost more than the suction that did not work. The deposit that a deep neck lift targets lies beneath the platysma, the muscle sheet across the front of the neck, and a suction cannula travels above that sheet. Reaching underneath means opening the compartment through the same short submental line, lifting the fat out by hand in pieces, and then closing the muscle so the neck carries tension again. Three operative steps live inside one listed addition, which is where the difference in the figure comes from.
Before & After
Every case Rewind photographs is published with the operations performed in that session named alongside it. On a pricing page those names matter, because each named operation is a separate figure on the sheet. None of the three below was a deep neck lift alone; all three combined the deep compartment with work above the muscle, which is how the operation is almost always planned.
BEFOREAFTER
BEFOREAFTER
BEFOREAFTERPhotographed at Rewind to a single lighting and framing standard, unretouched, and published with the operations named. What one plan was charged has no bearing on what yours would be, and what one profile became has no bearing on what yours would become. Bleeding, infection, prolonged swelling, asymmetry between the two sides, altered sensation under the chin and a scar that matures differently from the one you pictured are all possible. Figures follow an examination with the surgeon.
What is priced
Rewind lists neck work as separate operations, so a quotation reads as a short arithmetic instead of a package. Four kinds of line can appear on it, and the examination decides which of them belongs there.
Two of those lines are set out at length elsewhere on this site. The base suction plan and the muscle work are described under double-chin liposuction, and the deep compartment itself under deep neck lift. Where the examination finds loose skin doing the visible work instead of fat, the quotation moves to neck lift, which is a different operation with a different listing.
From examination to figure
Nothing about the arithmetic is decided from a photograph or a message. Six findings come out of the examination, and between them they fix both the size of the quotation and how much of it you can read before agreeing to it.
The single finding that decides whether a deep line appears at all. Fat above the platysma travels through a cannula; the deposit clinging under the muscle does not, and has to be separated and lifted out piece by piece through the open compartment. Quantitative work published on neck contouring has gone as far as measuring subplatysmal thickness before surgery to predict how much will be excised, which is the same judgement a surgeon makes by hand at the chair.
Emptying a compartment under a slack muscle leaves the tension question unanswered, and the surgical literature has treated band deformity after submental suction as the classic reason the muscle is managed rather than left alone. At Rewind the muscle work is carried on a combined listing with chin and jaw line suction, which is why a plan containing it lands above one that does not.
An enlarged submandibular gland can hold a bulge under the jaw that no amount of fat removal touches. Rewind describes it as a walnut-sized organ sitting beneath the jawbone, reduced in part where it protrudes below the jaw line. It carries its own figure, and it joins the plan only when the examination puts it there.
A neck that has already been operated on is quoted on the revision listing, which stands above the first-operation combination. Scar tissue in the compartment changes the work, and the applicable figure is only confirmed once the surgeon has established what was done before and what is left to work with.
Rewind publishes neither the anaesthetic it uses for this operation nor how long it takes in theatre. Because those are unpublished, no fee on the sheet is attached to them and this page invents neither. If either matters to your planning, ask for both at the consultation and have the answer written down.
A plan naming each operation with its own listed figure, a statement that the anaesthetic fee is inside those figures, and VAT shown as a separate addition. A proposed line with no examination finding behind it does not go on the sheet, and a line you decline is removed without the rest of the plan being renegotiated.

Why itemised
A single price for a neck hides the two findings that move it most: how deep the fat sits and whether the muscle has slackened. Splitting the quotation puts both in front of the patient, and it keeps the sheet answerable for which parts of the operation were actually indicated.
None of the three is bundled into another by default. A plan grows only where the examination produced a reason, and that reason is stated beside the line it justifies, so the arithmetic can be followed backwards to the finding.
Rewind works as a single-surgeon practice. The hand that read the depth of the compartment is the hand that opens it, so there is no second operator to whom a quoted plan can be passed once it is agreed.
A week in a compression dressing and a month of restraint on how the neck moves belong to the operation, and reviews are arranged with the operating surgeon when the plan is written. Enquiries from abroad are handled in the patient's own language from the first message, under this clinic's KHIDI registration for foreign patients.
What the fee buys

Fig. 04 — The clinic's own theatre, fifth floor, Richro Building

Fig. 05 — Preparation, before the submental line is made
Rewind occupies the fourth and fifth floors of the Richro Building in Apgujeong, and the theatre belongs to the clinic. One surgeon carries the case end to end, so no part of a listed figure is divided between a consulting doctor and an operating doctor. The consulting days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:00 to 19:00, with Saturday running 10:00 to 16:00, and every slot is booked in advance. Below is what a listed figure already includes, and where it stops.

Published figures
These are the clinic's standard published figures, and they are components of a plan, not a package. Your own quotation is whichever of them the examination justified, added together. The lowest figure here is no bargain and the highest no premium; they describe different amounts of work at different depths of the neck.
Every figure above is a standard listed rate with VAT charged separately, and the anaesthetic fee for that operation is already counted inside it. Where a plan needs several lines, the total is written out in full at the consultation before a date is taken, and a line you decline comes off without the rest being repriced. Revision figures stand until the earlier surgery has been examined, because what can be done depends on what is left in the compartment.
Which figure applies
The part no invoice shows
Two of Rewind's post-operative sheets apply to this plan, one written for facial liposuction and one for the muscle work, and where their windows differ the longer one governs. Between them they describe the expenditure nobody itemises: a week spent in a dressing and a month spent moving your neck carefully.
Risks belong on a pricing page as much as figures do: bleeding, infection, prolonged swelling and bruising, asymmetry between the two sides, altered sensation under the chin, injury to nerves running near the jaw line, and a scar that heals differently from the one you imagined. Any of those can turn into a second operation with a revision figure attached. An outcome cannot be promised and results vary by individual. Tell the surgeon about every previous operation on your face or neck, and every medication you take, before a date is agreed.
At Rewind, one board-certified plastic surgeon carries every case — from the first consultation to the final follow-up. Because a face is a story, and a story deserves a single author.

Scientific evidence
None of these papers concerns fees. They are listed because each describes work that appears as a line above: measuring the deep compartment before it is opened, reducing a neck across two planes, the band deformity that made management of the muscle standard practice, and a large series of submental fat removal. The techniques, settings and anaesthetic choices in them belong to their authors and describe neither this clinic nor your neck; Rewind does not publish its anaesthetic protocol, and that is confirmed at the examination.
