What will work for this neck? (Photo)

Question

I have consulted for vaser lipo w/ renuvion - Morpheus 8 and a mini neck lift. I don’t want surgery but also do not want to wast time & money. Looking for doctor feedback on where I am with skin integrity and what procedure is suggested.

From the photos, the Advanced MiniLift under local would give such great results and is so easy to undergo.  It fixes the jawline and neck quick and safely.  Never go under general if you can help it. Cost is on special currently for just $15,000 and is so worth it. Also you need the skin resurfaced on the face, neck and probably chest which is easy to undergo at the same time as the minilift since everything is numbed up nicely.  Morpheus and TCA peel together would do the trick for an additional $5000. Then everything would look rejuvenated and great.

Dear dgriz,
Thanks for your question. Based on the photos, there is moderate skin laxity of the neck. Once that occurs, the gold standard treatment is generally considered to be a facelift and neck lift. Other minimally invasive treatments such as morpheus8, renuvion, lipo, vaser etc may get some improvement but not as much as the facelift procedure. would suggest a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for further information and recommendations.

Hello,
Thank you for your question. Based on your photos, a necklift is the best option. This can be done wide awake using local anesthesia and oral medications to help you relax. Patients do incredibly well with this and it avoids the side effects of general anesthesia. I think you will be very disappointed with any other the other treatments mentioned and doing it awake makes it a relatively easy process.

It's understandable to want to avoid surgery, but with your photos, the minimal types of procedures will not help you and can really add up in cost. Recovery from surgery is about two weeks, and if you are a healthy person, you should fly right through it with a quality surgeon. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Gianfranco Frojo, MD · Answer

I would highly recommend a facelift/necklift to address the skin looseness/tissue laxity. Liposuction with skin tightening will not work and may even make things appear way more unnatural. I would highly recommend AGAINST any liposuction/radiofrequency of the neck because this is very important subcutaneous fat to maintain. I would highly recommend seeing a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon with actual plastic surgery residency/fellowship training (not "facial plastics").

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

A deep plane facelift with necklift is required to address your concerns.  I recommend a vacation as a better use of your money than the plan mentioned.  Be careful out there.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. It's unlikely that the minimally invasive approach will provide an adequate result. There is significant soft tissue laxity which is best addressed with a surgical neck lift. If you're considering that route, you would also want to consider a lower facelift. You would have an excellent outcome.
Best,Dr. Tower

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Based on these photos, you seem to be a candidate for lower face/neck lift. None of the procedures you listed is going to give you result close to it. In person consultation with a plastic surgeon with good reputation in face/neck lift is recommended. Good luck.

Nelson Castillo, MD · Answer

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs.  Nothing replaces an in-person examination but it appears that a formal neck and facelift will provide you the optimal results.  It affords the opportunity to address lax skin, tighten the underlying muscles and remove the deeper fat compartment that will further refine results.  Hope this helps
