Tighten Skin On Neck Non-Surgically or with Submentoplasty

A small amount of skin can still be a challenge to improve. Your choices include radiofrequency such as Pelleve Skin Tightening (we use this in our practice in New York) as well as "submentoplasty: which is a combination of muscle and skin surgery performed through a small incision at or near the crease under your chin.

Less is more

Hi Saxophone, Without the benefit of a picture and based on your description I would say you fall into the wise surgical dictum of "less is more".
