43 years old with saggy neck. Help. I've tried creams, Botox, nova threads, none of which have worked. My career has me carrying weighty equipment around the shoulders/neck area which has taken a toll. My face looks young. One PS told me to come back in ten years. One PS said he would do the full neck lift, but the scars scare me. My neck makes me so insecure. I hate looking in the mirror.
Answer: Neck Lift Thank you for your question. You seem to be an ideal candidate for the laser-assisted weekend necklift, which is an exciting new way to improve the look of your neck and jowl regions because the procedure is less invasive and offers a quicker recovery than a full neck lift. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Answer: Skin Tightening -- VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction, ThermiRF, Renuvion, Thermage, Ultherapy, Novathreads / Instalift, BodyTite "These are all natural parts of the aging process. What we can do is try preventative treatments or get a neck lift / face lift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous non-surgical options available, and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes, but you would need a consultation with an expert. Some options for skin tightening include: - Thermage radiofrequency to heat the skin, tighten it over time, and prevent the aging process - Ultherapy high-intensity ultrasound to contract the muscle, tighten the face and neck, and prevent the aging process - PDO NovaThreads or InstaLift threads for immediate lifting without surgery and long-term collagen production - Sculptra injections for collagen production to areas of the face and neck with crepey skin or early sagging - BTL Exilis Ultra, Venus Legacy, and Thermi250 for monthly collagen stimulation with facials - ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma), or Inmode BodyTite for internal heating and tightening with or without surgery - Fillers (or facial implants) to contour the jawline and chin to improve the appearance of the neck - Face lift / neck lift with fat grafting and fillers if you need a significant improvement I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist.

Answer: FaceTite makes it possible FaceTite is a technology that tightens the skin (several studies done and published in peer reviewed journals) 25-35%. In someone as young as you, FaceTite should provide adequate tightening of the skin without posterior incisions behind the ear and into the hairline. FaceTite is performed through needle holes, similar to those made when blood is drawn from your arm. It also can tighten the jowls. A platysmaplasty can be performed for the bands that you have under your neck, through a small incision under the chin. We have performed many of these combination techniques, and they work well, particularly in the 40-55 year old age group. These procedures can be performed under local or general anesthesia. There is very little bruising or bleeding.

Answer: Neck lift There are non-surgical tightening procedures, such a the Viora Reaction, that can help tighten the neck skin. The biggest risk is really just a financial one. Will i work well enough for you to feel as though yoo have gotten your money's worth? Fillers and Botox are not the answer. An isolated necklift is a great procedure with very minimal scars. It really depends on your anatomy and what you don't like. At this point I recommend going fo some consults. Good luck.

Answer: What can help my neck laxity? The limited view on your pictures shows the laxity of your neck under the chin. An in person examination will show if the two bands under your chin are skin laxity or platysma muscle bands. It looks like the problem could be solved by a short scar cheek lift. This should eliminate the excess skin under your chin without an incision behind you ears. If the bands are muscle related they can be taken care of through a small incision under your chin. I do this under local anesthesia with some sedation and the recovery is fast. if you like to send full face pictures from front and the sides, I can give you more information about what can be done. I don't think there is anything short of surgery to help you. The main question is, how can surgery be done with the shortest scars, quickest recovery and the best results.
