Help! My neck is aging too fast. What can I do? (Photo)

Question

Hi. I'm 36 years old and have always looked younger than my years, but I have recently seen a dramatic difference in my neck skin. I'm fit, eat healthy, and have never been overweight but I have noticed my neck skin is much looser now and does not match my face. I really want to go less invasive if possible since I am so young and would really like to go another alternative besides neck lift. Please any suggestions as this is all I see in the mirror now and it is very depressing..

"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"

Father time is a preeminent force that always catches up to us. Have you every heard of the conveyor belt idea where  If
the surgery takes place at age 50, the individual getting the surgery will look
ten years younger. So, although they are
chronologically 50, they appear to be 40.But that conveyor belt of time keeps moving forward. If you look at that same individual ten years
later, he or she will now be chronologically at the age of 60, but will still
look ten years younger, which at this point would be 50. It is for this reason that many people
continue to have cosmetic surgeries. However, this is certainly not necessary.I suggest you consider the Laser-Assisted Weekend Necklift, the ideal solution for the 40-55 year old with early sagging of the upper neck and jowl area. Our patients started calling it this name because they felt that they
could easily recover from this procedure over the weekend and return to their
normal activities the next week. Although there are still small sutures in
front of the ear, these can easily be hidden with the hair and any bruising has
been so minimal in most cases it has not been a problem to hide.

I've not found that the neck tightening procedures offer anyone the kind of changes that make them happy (that is machines like ultherapy tend to disappoint.) However, a surgical neck lift can be done with hidden incisions and can be very effective!

You have two options: Non-surgically, injectables plus Ultherapy.Surgical neck lift would provide you by far with best improvement and most longevity - but there is no rush...

The best solution for an aging neck is to undergo a neck lift.  However if you are not ready for surgery then you can start with some noninvasive procedure such as Thermismooth.The next step would be minimally invasive procedures such as Thermitight.  It is very important to perform daily skin care on the neck just like to do on the face many different skin care products including moisturizers and tone is.  Strictly avoid the sun as well.RegardsDr. J
