I'm 35, thin and have never gained or lost a lot of weight. I did have jaw surgery 7 years ago so maybe that plays a part. I don't know why I have such a waddle other than poor bone structure and a weak jawline (while having a large chin and large, strong neck). Is surgery the only way to loose this waddle or is there another way to tighten such as ultherapy?

Answer: Treatment of a Neck Waddle-Surgery vs Non-Invasive Treatments I know this may seem like an excuse, but this is a problem that can only be answered after an examination. There are many reasons why you have a waddle in you neck. Without know the cause, I could not offer a reasonable solution. Possible causes of your waddle and their solutions1) Excess Fat---Some form of fat removal--Liposuction or direct removal of neck fat. I believe in direct removal of fat. 2) Low Hyoid Bone-- Neck lift with platysmaplasty3) Excess fat and skin-- Plastymaplasty with possible neck lift4) Weak chin---Add chin implant to above5) Platysmal bands--PlatysmaplastyThere are a variety of non-surgical treatments already mentioned. I am no expert in these treatments, but they are an option. Typically speaking, the results from non-surgical are not a robust as surgical, but depending on your goals and exam, it may be the best option for you.In conclusion- you have many different options. The most important decision is the doctor you choose. I hope this helps.

Answer: Laser Assisted Weekend Facelift It is possible that you may be a candidate for what I have termed, "The Laser Assisted Weekend Necklift:" It is a minimally invasive procedure. Cervicofacial Liposculpture is first employed to contour the unfavorable fatty changes seen in the face and neck as time passes by, such as the ‘Turkey neck’ and ‘double chin’.Careful attention is then turned to tightening the neck muscles and eliminating neck bands. Finally, I employ laser technology to ‘resurface’ the underside of the neck skin, thereby ‘shrinkwrapping’ the skin of the neck restoring a youthful contour.A consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon will help determine which procedures will provide the best results for you.
