Which Procedure is Best for my Neck? (photo)
I am in my late 30's and I am bothered by the skin between my neck and chin and would like a more youthful look I have read a lot about trampoline lift and full neck lift as well as a hin implant and lipo. There is sagging skin between my chin and neck and it is only going to get worse. The Trampoline lift reviews are not making me feel confident in the procedure so Im not confident that shhould even be a consideration. What would be the best procedure for the sagging skin between the neck and chin?

Options for improving loose neck skin in the younger patient
Options for loose neck skin in the younger patient -
The lax skin in your upper neck can be approached directly by a less invasive facelift in the miniface lift category The least invasive would be a mini-facelift. My own personal preference and in my hands the one with the least invasive approach is a Lite Lift which is performed in my office under local anesthesia with some oral sedation without the need for IV sedation or general anesthesia

Neck Contour in your 30's
Based on your photos it seems your neck contour problem is caused by some early visible platysma muscle bands. These can be tightened from a small incision just under the chin or an incision behing the ears, which would also allow tightening of the neck skin. Be aware that someone with minimal body fat and a thin neck may always tend to have visibility of muscle fibers in the neck. Also, the submandibular salivary glands under the jaw on each side can often show as a...

Correcting Early Age-Related Skin Changes in the Neck: Consider Botox
For many women, the first signs of significant facial/neck aging are the skin changes between the chin and voicebox area. Folds of skin and bands may appear.
What is actually happening to many patients in this age range is that the platysma muscle is forming bands or cords and pulling the skin down with the muscle. This makes it look like the skin is loose when it often is not.
I prefer to treat young patients with isolated early neck bands with Botox or Dysport...

Treatment of Lines in the Neck in Someone in Their 30"s
There are a number of methods of treating bands in the neck in someone your age. Yours appear to be caused by the platysma muscle, the superficial muscle of the neck. They can be ameliorated by pulling the muscle back up under the ear if the ligament that holds the muscle suspended has stretched. This requires a modified mini-facelift. If the bands are from separation of the muscles centrally, then a simple undermining of the central neck to separate the muscle from the skin and suturing the...

Less is More
From the photos you sent, your major issue appears to be platysmal bands and not much in the way of loose skin. Have you tried Botox for the bands?
A non-surgical skin tightening may help whatever loose skin you have. If that is unsuccessful or if you want something more permanent, a minimal necklift such as a MACS-Lift may also be something to consider for the loose skin. At the same time a suturing of the bands could be done.
Best of success!

Neck lift in late 30's
There are essentially 3 options for treatment of the aging neck:
Facelift
Necklift/Minilift
Neck Liposuction
Each has advantages and disadvantages and can be performed in a variety of nuanced ways. There are few people that are actually good candidates for neck liposuction alone. My criteria for neck liposuction alone is age under 45 years and neck fullness from extra fat (not just skin laxity). My patients also wear a face-neck support garment following surgery for...

The Best Neck Procedure For Someone in Their 30's With Sagging Skin
There are many options available to you from excising a small amount of skin from just underneath the chin, liposuction of the neck, placement of a chin implant, or some version of a neck lift. The best option requires an appointment and consultation with a board certified surgeon. Given the variety of options, seeing someone who does computer imaging may be helpful in that they could show you the array of results that each procedure might provide. Best of luck.

Which Procedure is Best for my Neck?
I have performed Face Lifts and Neck Lifts for 25 years and you are correct...full Neck Lifts are very invasive, especially in a 30 year old. The loose skin, of the neck, can be reduced by excising an ellipse of skin just below the chin. Excess fat can be removed using micro-liposuction and if the chin is weak, a Chin Implant can create aesthetic balance and improvement to the entire lower face. I perform many minimal incision, minimally invasive Face and neck...

Which Procedure is Best for my Neck?
There are many options for neck rejuvenation as you mentioned. In my practice, this can range from non-surgical radiofrequency treatments, neck liposuction, or a face/necklift. A specific answer of what would help you would require photos or a consultation. I hope this information is helpful.

Best procedure for sagging neck.
Best procedure for sagging neck depends on the causes of your particular issues. To give a proper answer I need to see photos. It appears from the photo that a neck lift is what would be best IF the skin is not tight. Beware of marketing names--- this is a neck lift period.
