Neck sag
If your neck truly sags at 38, you may be a candidate for a neck lift procedure, but an exam would be necessary to determine what wold benefit you.

Improving a neck with sagging skin
If the problem is saggy skin in the neck, it can only be addressed through a lower face/neck lift. A neck lift alone will only address tightening the neck muscles and removal of fat in the neck. Excess skin has to be pulled back behind the ears to tighten the loose skin once fat has been removed in the neck and the neck muscles have been tightened.

A facelift or platismaplasty (mini necklift) may help a sagging neck in a young person
Hello,
The neck can sag in patients of all ages and can sometimes be an inherited feature. This can be due to lax neck muscles, excess fat under the chin, lax neck skin and even a poorly projected chin. Some of these features are inherited and therefore seen at even a young age. The key to improving the neck line is to correctly diagnose the cause of the problem and tailoring a treatment accordingly.
In some cases, a sagging neck can be corrected with a plastismaplasty which is...

Neck Lift for Young Patients
Cosmetic surgery may be appropriate for younger patients in select cases. Sagging necks which run in the family may be due to fat collection or bone structure, generally. Cosmetic treatment may include neck liposuction, chin augmentation, and/or face lift surgery. Any facial plastic surgery for younger patients is more conservative and minimally invasive, such as mini lifts.
Speak with a neck lift plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.

Sagging Neck
Without pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice or to give specific recommendations. However, if you have fullness then a liopsuction procedure may be all that you need. If you have loose and sagging skin, then you may need a neck lift for lower facelift procedure. Good luck.

Treating the early aging neck
Some people are predisposed to early aging because of their genetics or weight loss. If there is extra skin, only a surgical procedure will make a real difference, ie. necklift or facelift. Thermage and other non-surgical therapies are largely disappointing. Lesser procdures can sometimes hold back the bigger surgery like microliposuction and fillers.

Sagging jawline
At your young age, you might have an inherited predisposition for a sagging neck as you say. You should see a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for a neck lift. There could be different findings seen on your examination such as a jowl, small chin, bands of the neck muscle (platysma), and a fallen salivary glan (although you are very young for this to have occured). All of these conditions might be treated differently. If there is a small...

Correction of early jawline sagging
Surgically, the jawline is corrected by facelift procedures. Since your young age however, you might want to try miniminzing the appearance of the jowls with an injectible filler or trying laser. Any number of fillers can be used to hide the early sag by either being injected in front or behind the sag. Sometimes, a little volume in the cheek can help alleviate the early appearance of droop.
Additionally, lasers can provide a degree of skin tightening. Again...

Options for improving neck sagging
A neck lift can make a dramatic difference in facial appearance. Small-incision surgery allows recontouring of the neck with minimal downtime. The neck lift is ideal for treating people with conditions such as turkey wattle neck and excess fat, but who are not bothered by jowls and cheek contour problems. Smart lipo can sometimes be used in this area to melt away small amounts of fat and tighten skin. You may also want to consider a Threadlift (non-surgical face-lift), which is minimally...
