Fix Small Amount of Extra Skin on my Neck W Incisions Bhind the Ear, No Messing W/ Muscle, Possible? I am thin with good muscle tone, and 36. I just want to tighten some excess skin that sags at the front of my throat/ under chin after loosing weight. Can i just have the skin tightened, with incision behind my ears, without muscle tightening. I dont think its needed, it is only skin, not muscle thats loose. Im only going to get this done if i can just tighten the skin, with incisions behind the ear.

A: Surgery or non-invasive procedures can tighten the neck.

Certainly you can have the skin of your neck tightened, and there are multiple ways to accomplish this. One way you have described is to remove skin and take up the slack behind your ears. At your young age, no muscle work would be necessary. However, there are some non-invasive techniques you may want to consider, depending on how much skin needs to be removed, like Titan laser and fractional carbon dioxide laser. Seek the advice of a reputable surgeon and see which option would work best for you.

Loose Neck Skin, What Options do I Have other than a Full Neck Lift? I dont need a facelift but I have a small amount of loose skin under my chin and 2 folds on my neck. I don't want or need a neck lift as its only loose skin nor do I need lipo as its not fat. As its minimal I would like a local anaesthetic, why do doctors not want to do these minimal corrections? when sometimes these small defects affect peoples self confidence like big problems? I am sick of wearing scarves because I hate my neck folds.

A: Loose Neck Skin Options

Hi and thank you for your question.

Patients with sagging neck skin or excess fat generally may benefit from a neck lift or lower face lift with liposuction. Direct neck lifts with incisions directly under the chin are typically reserved for specific patients and carry the risk of visible scarring. Other options that may be appropriate to improve the neck without face lift surgery include Botox Cosmetic for active neck muscles or silicone chin implant for a weak chin bone structure. Lastly, neck liposuction alone even when there isn't a lot of neck fat may tighten the neck skin in younger patients. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can a plastic surgeon help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
