A You’ve been through several procedures, and it’s understandable that you’d like to explore non-surgical options to refine and contour your neck and jawline area, especially given the likelihood of residual scar tissue from prior liposuction. To address your concerns about "fat" versus "scar tissue" versus loose skin, a thorough evaluation is essential. While your situation appears complex, there are effective non-surgical and minimally invasive options that align with your goals: 1. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy with Microneedling PRP therapy can improve skin elasticity and texture by stimulating collagen production and enhancing tissue repair. Combined with microneedling, this treatment is particularly effective for mild laxity and residual unevenness caused by scar tissue. It’s a non-invasive, regenerative option with minimal downtime that can help smooth and rejuvenate the skin over time. 2. Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LI-ESWT) LI-ESWT is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin tightness and potentially address fibrosis (scar tissue). By stimulating cellular repair and blood flow, it can soften tissue irregularities and improve overall skin tone in the neck and jawline area. 3. Thread Lifting (PDO Threads) Thread lifting involves placing absorbable threads under the skin to lift and tighten specific areas, such as the neck and jawline. This procedure is minimally invasive, provides immediate lifting results, and stimulates collagen production over time. It can offer a more defined contour and improve the appearance of lax skin without the need for surgery. 4. Targeted Fat Reduction (if applicable) If there is any remaining fat contributing to the appearance, Kybella (an injectable treatment) could be considered to target and dissolve fat cells in small areas like the submental (under-chin) zone. However, a proper evaluation is critical to distinguish fat from scar tissue. 5. Ongoing Skin Care Regimen To maintain and enhance your results, incorporating medical-grade skincare products that promote collagen production and protect the skin from environmental damage is highly recommended. Sunscreen is essential to prevent further laxity caused by UV exposure. Since you’ve already consulted with surgeons who believe you’re not a candidate for additional liposuction or a neck lift at this stage, combining non-surgical treatments tailored to your unique needs is likely your best option. It’s also crucial to manage expectations and understand that non-surgical methods often require multiple sessions and maintenance for optimal results. I’d encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced provider familiar with these techniques to develop a personalized plan. Each of these options offers the ability to target specific concerns and achieve a more contoured, refined appearance without undergoing surgery.

A The visible platysmal band you're referring to is a common concern and, as you've mentioned, not necessarily age-related. Platysmal bands can appear in younger individuals due to genetic predisposition or specific muscle anatomy. A non-surgical approach could work well for your situation. Botox or similar neuromodulators are an effective first-line treatment for softening the appearance of platysmal bands. By relaxing the muscle, the bands become less prominent, and results typically last three to four months. This treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and performed in-office with no downtime. For longer-lasting results and additional tightening, you may want to explore low-intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (LI-ESWT) or PRP therapy combined with microneedling. These treatments stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and enhance overall skin tone, addressing mild laxity around the neck. If the concern persists or you're looking for more dramatic results, a thread lift could be an option. This minimally invasive procedure involves inserting absorbable threads under the skin to physically lift and support sagging areas, while stimulating collagen for longer-term improvements. Ultimately, a tailored approach is best. Consulting with an experienced practitioner, ideally someone skilled in both non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments, will help determine the right solution for your unique anatomy and goals. I hope this information helps, and I’d encourage you to schedule a consultation to explore these options further!

A For addressing neck sagging following weight loss, our practice offers effective non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments tailored to your specific concerns. Here are the best options to consider based on the procedures we provide: Given your recent weight loss and the early signs of neck sagging, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can be an excellent starting point. PRP uses your body’s natural healing factors to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, which can help tighten the skin and reduce sagging over time. PRP is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a natural approach to rejuvenation. For more immediate results, thread lifts are a minimally invasive option that can provide a visible lift to the neck area. Threads not only offer structural support to sagging skin but also stimulate collagen production over time. This approach is ideal for younger patients like yourself who want to address mild laxity without undergoing surgery. We also recommend pairing these treatments with medical-grade skincare to maintain skin health. Products focused on hydration and collagen stimulation, along with the regular application of sunscreen, will further protect and enhance your results. Additionally, periodic maintenance treatments such as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LI-ESWT) can improve overall skin texture and firmness. We recommend scheduling a consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals. Combining these options can help slow down the effects of sagging and restore a more youthful contour to your neck area.

A For tightening the skin and improving overall neck contour, Ultherapy is a proven non-surgical option. This ultrasound-based treatment stimulates collagen production by delivering energy deep into the skin, which gradually improves skin elasticity and firmness over a few months. If you're looking for something slightly more intensive but still minimally invasive, Accent Prime, which combines radiofrequency and ultrasound, can address both skin laxity and fat reduction. This dual-action approach helps contour the jawline and improve the overall appearance of the neck. If you’re open to injectable treatments, Botox could be used strategically to relax prominent platysmal bands. For volume restoration and mild lifting, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections can enhance skin quality by boosting collagen production naturally. For more advanced cases of laxity or persistent fat under the chin, FaceTite or Renuvion procedures might be worth considering. These minimally invasive techniques utilize radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and target small fat pockets effectively. Unlike traditional surgery, these options involve minimal downtime and avoid large incisions. Each of these treatments offers unique benefits depending on the degree of laxity, skin quality, and your overall goals. A consultation with a qualified provider will help tailor the approach to your specific needs, ensuring natural and satisfying results. Let us know if you'd like to explore these options further!

A When addressing jowls and a double chin at age 50, there are several effective non-surgical options to consider. Based on your concerns about fillers, we can explore alternatives that provide a more lasting improvement without the need for frequent maintenance. For contouring and tightening the jawline and neck, Kybella can be an excellent option to reduce submental fat. This injectable treatment is designed to dissolve fat cells in the targeted area, resulting in a more sculpted jawline over time. If skin laxity is also a concern, Ultherapy, a non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment, can help tighten the skin by stimulating collagen production. Additionally, treatments like Accent Prime combine ultrasound and radiofrequency to address both fat reduction and skin tightening in a single session, making it ideal for individuals seeking a comprehensive approach. For added skin rejuvenation, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections can be incorporated to improve skin elasticity and texture naturally. If you’re looking for a solution that improves both structure and appearance, a Silhouette InstaLift may be worth considering. This minimally invasive thread-lifting procedure uses dissolvable sutures to provide an immediate lift while encouraging collagen production for lasting results. Every individual’s anatomy and goals are unique, so consulting with a provider who can evaluate your needs in detail is essential. These options offer great potential for a refreshed appearance without committing to surger
