Deep Neck Lines and Folds. (photo)

1 year ago

A person have these really deep lines that go in a circle around their neck. They are hereditary. Her father has them and his father had them. She have tried using a product called rejuveneck but she is seeing no results. As I age the folds get deeper. Tried exercise and everything but they just won't disappear.

Deep horizontal neck lines

This is probably the most stubborn cosmetic problem when it comes to the neck. It is difficult to make them all disappear but you can fill them with injections of soft tissue filler, which as you know, is not permanent and needs to be repeated.

Horizontal neck folds

The lines that are present in your neck are simply congenital horizontal neck folds that everyone has. Yours are just more prominent. They will not go away with a facelift. They cannot be surgically excised and removed. It is best to just leave them alone and no facial creams are going to help with this problem either. for many examples of what a neck lift can accomplish in our practice, please see the link below.

Horizontal neck lines

The best solution is fat grafting with a micro needle, the next best solution is fillers. None of these are comletely effective or long lasting, but definitely offer some imporvement

best of luck

Horizontal neck lines and folds

You are absolutely right that those lines are hereditary. If you look it children and babies, you'll notice they may have these as well. They may deepen with age or weight gain, but you've probably always had them and always will. Fortunately these horizontal lines are not as associated with aging and don't and won't make you appear older than your age. Unfortunately they are not easy to correct as a facelift or neck lift will not erase these lines, but may simply move them slightly higher in your neck. You can consider having your doctor fill them with a hyaluronic acid filler to soften the lines. This is also temporary so if you don't like it, it can be reversed.

Why you hate your neck lines

as our society becomes more excepting of mobile devices many patients are finding that they are spending extended periods of time with your neck bent looking at their iPad iPhone or smart phone. This unnatural neck position for extended period of time has led to a increased propensity for neckbands or horizontal neck lines of tension with the neck in the flexed position. Appropriate evaluation for cause of these lines is important to Determine for the selection of the appropriate treatment. Certainly hereditary and genetic causes can lead to a more complex evaluation. In office valuation of these horizontal bands can provide insight as to what treatments may be best indicated for these bands. For example if the patient has thin and wrinkly skin there for interventions should include treatments which thicken the skin. However if the patient has thick and full skin with excess adipose tissue or excess fat then perhaps a combination of Liposuction and soft tissue excision may be beneficial.

Often it is best to consider nonsurgical treatments first as these will be able to be evaluated for their efficacy. However more substantial interventions will often result in more long-lasting and sustainable results

Neck Folds in the Back of the Neck

This is a very tough problem as there are no good options for your problem. Surgical tightening is possible with a hair line incision but the likelihood of the lines recurring is very high since it is a congenital problem. The creams and other superficial treatments that some will offer as a solution will not be effective as you have already discovered.

Fat grafting in an option but it is very expensive and not particularly reliable in terms of outcomes. Another option would be a filler. Most fillers are temporary. You could try a filler in one area to see if you get any satisfying resolution. If you do, then I would suggest moving on to a permanent filler like Bellafill so that you do not have to keep coming back.

I hope that helps and if it does please give it and up vote at the top right at the "report' button. Thanks.

Best regards.

Neck folds in the young

I concur with the rest of the surgeons who have commented.

It is very difficult to cure but can be temporized with a combination of fat grafting, liposuction and fillers in some cases.

I have seen them resected with a large scar followed by laser. This can then be covered up with make-up but does leave a rather large scar which most cosmetic surgeons are hesitant to undertake.

Best of luck,
