Age sometimes doesn't matter for people. Eric and I both inherited a bad neckline. It can be genetic.
A LOT of doctors do necklifts in different ways. THEY MUST CUT and RETIE the muscle for the most dramatic effect. It's considered simple by trained surgeons but quite a few haven't been trained in this.
See my necklift review for more info.
On fat grafting I'm overall for it, it just depends on the doctor.
Girlfriend's had it done to her lower eyes. Made a drastic good difference.
I have made an actual friend with my plastic surgeon and met quite a few of his patients who have had fat transfers later on due to it. Majority really like it.
From how you are posting, it appears you'll be happy.

Thanks for sharing, hang in there.
You are similar to me, lots of research. I did the samething when I jumped into surgery.
I strongly recommend Hulu.com while recoverying. Catch up on some old movies, watch a old tv series or 2 for free.
Glad to help out on the LSL bs. I find it interesting how it used to be rated very poorly but surely the ratings have turned over 50%. Majority are without photos and even some with photos are fishy. (I called attention to one)
On doing a necklift I was concerned about one thing. Having it done right. About 3/4 of even board certified plastic surgeons have different techniques. In fact even on of the pictures for a "local" doctor here on realself on this review doesn't cut the muscle and therefore it doesn't get that tightness.
I researched for a few months who could do this really well. I found a video of Dr. Cruise doing a necklift with a patient similar to my situation and great results. He works nearby, I scheduled a consult and now I have my own video. :)
Eric K later on did the sametype of surgery later on with a doctor near him.
On LSL one thing I remember a doctor saying on here is that the average board certified plastic surgeon does 10 facelifts a year. Yet he does over 400. So who do you think is more qualified?
I'm paraphrasing but that was what he said. Funny but it's still the guy who does 10 a year who is way more qualified. I'd rather have somebody do 10 completely right each year and have years of medical training, Practice doesn't always make perfect.
Perfect practice makes perfect.

There used to actually be a link on realself about this court ruling but it seems to have been removed.
Lifestyle lift tried to have this website remove Lifestyle lift reviews stating "trademark infringement"
