36 and Crepey loose skin on neck. What is the best method to help this and keep it from getting worse? (photos)

Question

I am 5’ and weigh about 112. I lost about 7-9 pounds this month and feel like this happened over night. What is the best treatment options at 36

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Fractora RF can help a lot in tightening up loose skin on the face or neck and is easy to undergo under local. Downtime is only 3 days and fractora RF really works whereas ultherapy and thermage only dream of tightening skin.

Thank you for your question. The best treatment might be a combination of skin treatments, liposuction and laser regimens. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy.
Best wishes,

Thank you for your photos.  While various skin tightening techniques ( Thermage, Ultera, micro-needling) are advertised as a solution to your issue, the results have been underwhelming.  The best option would be a well performed neck lift which could correct your platysmal bands and smooth your skin, straighten your jaw-line and contour your neck in a predictable, reliable fashion.  Recovery is short, approximately 5-7 days.  See a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A combination approach would give the most improvement. Kybella, PDO Nova Threads, Ultherapy and/or ThermiRF treatments (Venus Legacy) are non-invasive options that would do well in combination for skin tightening for the neck. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck and can be combined with a neck lift at the same time, if you're a candidate. See a cosmetic dermatologist for a long term treatment plan. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may
benefit from a mini neck lift.  If good technique is used,
this can be done with minimal scarring and can result in a natural look, not
over-done look, with rejuvenation of your neck.  Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect
is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek
consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate
you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
