Horizontal Neck Bands - Is there anything I can do to get rid of them? (Photo)

Question

I am 25 years old. I am not overweight- I weigh about 130 lbs. but my neck makes me look huge! I was wondering if there is anything I could possibly do to even lessen the look of them? They seem to be getting worse as I get older.

"Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling​ with PRP to get the optimal outcome.

I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

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. Per your photos,  great amount of laxity is not evident. Nor is vertical banding . So, you may benefit from #non-surgical treatments. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn about the #options and products available and as to which  may be best for you.

Horizontal neck bands could be secondary to excess of fat in the beck ( fat rolls) wrinkles on the neck skin, loose neck skin, etc. In order to determine what procedure would best address this physical finding, patients with horizontal neck bands should make a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon specialized in plastic surgery procedures of the face and neck

From the photo perhaps a noninvasive approach might be considered but would need to be seen in person...
