Best option for my neck: Neck Lift, Mini Neck Lift, or Liposuction?

you ned a full face/neck lift.


if you want a dramatic change necklift/facelift, Implants and fillers will give you that on the neck and jawline contouring and tightening of the neck contour . noninvasive may  improve the area and slow down the aging process with  facetite or renuvion as an office procedure with liposuction or without downtime PDO or instalift threads, morpheus or pixel8 deep microneedling RF , and botox/dysport/xeomin to stop muscle movement of the platysma bands and fillers for jawline contouring and chin.  We also use diluated fillers or sculptra on the neck to improve collagen production like belotero and hyperdilute radiesse .


start at home dermarolling to tighten you r skin, see emeragecismetics where we do free skincare consults daily and recommend emerageskin roller with anteageMD ampules daily ( see link).  Peels like cosmelan or enlighten give more dramatic at home results in 7-10 days, for less downtime you can do EMERAGE SKIN AERIFY every 2 weeks overnight and get tightening and improvement in lines and discoloration.


With significant neck sagging you would need a neck/face lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). at the same time lasers (fraxel,  co2 or halo) or microneedling RF (fractora, morpheus, pixel8 ) can be performed to improve the crepe skin or wrinkles and combined together for best outcomes.  


 You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach:
1. micro needling and MNRF and lasers for texture
2. botox, disport or xeomin to help platysmal bands and chin crepiness
3. intensif , fractora , morpheus, pixel8 MN RF for crepe skin and lifting and tightening
4. fillers like belotero, restylane silk, juvederm volbella , and hyperdilute radiesse  to improve lines and folds and collagen production
5. neck/face lifting if sagging is prominent or early starting +/- platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. J plasma/Renuvion, thermiRF, inmode facetite for internal tightening with liposuction

Best, Dr. Emer

Sometimes, we make it difficult for our poor patients by coming up with mini-this and mini-that and micro-other and weekend-lift and quick-lift, and what-have-you.
Whether we like to be told or not, most of us (within a particular ethnic group), will age similarly, albeit with some changes more or less depending upon weight, weight gain and weight loss, smoking, diet, sun damage, etc. So, in someone with your age and ethnic background, you have what we see regularly: the loss of jawline definition, the obtuse angle of the neck visible in the side views, loss of facial fat, cheek ptosis, bands under the neck skin, etc.
Your best bet is to get a good face and necklift with fat grafts and with the use of appropriate lasers as indicated. You also have the firm look because of your brows being lower (and asymmetric) with the "elevenses" which make us look severe and the surgeon can address that with injections or surgery or both.
You will see the descent of the cheeks unveiling your lower eyelids with a groove. A well done facelift and also address that.
The money in a lady is always in the neck: a beautifully performed facelift and necklift should make the neck look elegant. Your chin will need some minor modification to give it balance, as will your lips.
Don't fall for the "quick" procedures which promise all and deliver less than all.
Good luck: get opinions from more than one surgeon. And go by recommendations.
