From these photos, it appears your vertical lines are being caused by platysmal banding. You could try aggressive botox to these to see if that helps relax the area, but most likely you will need a revision type surgery, if only in the center of the neck, to release those bands and bring them in (called a platysmaplasty).
Based on this photo it appears that your lines are bands of platysma muscle which are frequently observed in a skinny neck like yours. Injection of Botox may work sometimes. Otherwise, complete transaction of platysma muscle may be the next option. It is best to address this issue with your surgeon. Good luck.
You can probably get improvement with noninvasive radiofrequency skin tightening like Secret or Morpheus. I would also do the face at the same time.
Non-surgical options for addressing vertical lines after a neck lift include topical treatments like retinoids or hyaluronic acid creams, along with regular moisturizing. Consider consulting with a healthcare professional for recommendations based on your specific situation.
I would recommend a secondary facelift/necklift. This can be corrected. I would wait until at least 6 months of healing before returning to the OR.
No, not really. Avoiding the incisions in front of the ear tends to bunch the excess skin pulled back below and in front of the ear. The incisions are needed to remove the excess skin. If you do not want incisions, go with a non or minimally invasive treatment like Secret, Morpheus, or Renuvion.
I would suggest some micro fat grafting done by someone who does a fair amount of facial and neck grafting so it will not be lumpy.
