I am 43 and have a very long thin neck that shows a lot of banding and crepey skin just below my chin. I tried the silouette threads four months ago to no avail. My concern is whether the threads which are still in my neck will cause an issue. I can feel lumps beneath my ear lobe from the cones. One cone popped out of my neck. If facetite is used would the heat cause complications with the remaining threads? Would the threads complicate surgery?
Answer: Neck Rejuvenation From your photos, it appears the best option for you would be a formal neck lift. This procedure would address the platysma muscle "banding" which is causing your issues, as well as tighten skin laxity. Minimally invasive therapies cannot achieve this goal. Your threads should not pose an issue, but in office consultation and exam will be needed to accurately determine this. I suggest consultation with a surgeon specializing in facial cosmetic surgery. Good Luck!

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Sometimes a good old neck lift is the best solution to the problem. A platysmaplasty (neck tuck) is easy to undergo and would make a big improvement. The worthless threads would be of now concern so don't worry.

Answer: Necklift vs Facetite Depending on the level of laxity, the effects of a neck lift will certainly outlast the effects of non-surgical treatments. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck. During an in-person examination, your chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.Your board certified plastic surgeon should evaluate both your anatomical features and aesthetic goals to suggest which procedure best suits your needs. In some cases there may be more than one option to choose from. If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board surgeon can recommend non-surgical alternatives to improve your concern.
