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...
