I had a Roux-en-Y done in 1999 and have lost 186 pounds. In Feb of 2009, I had a Lifestyle Lift done in Atlanta, GA. The neck work was an add-on option that I chose to have along with the upper and lower eyes and the mid-facial lift. I am not totally unhappy as there is a huge improvement BUT the skin after six weeks still has crepe-like look to it in the region the under chin, where it meets the neckline neck area. Is there anything that will help to firm this skin and restore some collagen and elasticity?
Answer: Inherent inelasticity of neck skin The crepey-like skin in the neck can occur from the inherent inelasticity of the neck skin. This is especially true for very dry, thin skin such as a redhead may have. This is the first area to start aging after a facelift since it is the furthest away from the incisions behind the ears. The skin tightening of the neck occurs from removal of skin behind the ears. There is no other technique that can help firm and restore the skin with collagen and elasticity of a comprehensive face/neck lift.

Answer: Treatments to restore collagen and elasticity after face lift surgeries? The result you are seeing MAY improve because it is still quite early in the course of your healing.

Answer: Improve loose skin under neck after Lifestyle Lift with Ultherapy I agree that if skin has poor levels of collagen and elastin, any type lift is only pulling on poor quality skin. Without examining you, and looking at the operative note, it is hard to comment on the effects of your specifi surgery.

Answer: Not a great neck If you check my photos, the neck after a properly done facelift should be beautiful. Yours may be better but it is not beautiful or optimal. That is because the LS lift is too weak to address this area and because most LS lift doctors are limited experienced ENT's, not Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. After some time has passed, you should go to one of the real plastic surgeons in Atlanta like Dr. Vince Zubowicz and see what can be done to make it better.
