Candidate for a neck lift? (Photo)

Question

I’m 36, 5’8”, 169# and have some crepey/sagging skin at my neck. It makes me very self conscious and makes me appear older than I am. I have very poor skin laxity due to weight loss and just genetics. I also have some skin around my eyes that makes it difficult to apply makeup evenly anymore and may be interested in an upper/lower bleph. Am I a good candidate for these procedure? Is there another procedure I’d find more benefit from?

Yes, I would recommend discussing your goals/desires with a board-certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery).

The best way to evaluate your neck and eyelids is with an in person evaluation with a Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I typically treat the small amount of extra skin of your neck with Nonsurgical skin tightening options. I typically recommend a combination of topical skin care regimens and treatments with devices like Ultherapy and Sofwave for skin tightening . Your extra eyelid skin can often successfully be  treated
with a combination of effective topical skin care regimens, neurotoxins to maintain your brow position and skin tightening with Sofwave. Surgical options are also available if needed to achieve  your desired result.  Good luck

You may be a candidate for less invasive, less aggressive treatments which can still provide nice results.  FaceTite is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no general anesthesia.  It can be used to tighten the neck and face.  You can combine this procedure with Morpheus8 treatments which use RF technology combined with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture.  Both of these can be performed in the office surgical suite.  See my website or a provider near you to learn more.

A neck lift procedure can certainly address removal of the fat deposits in your neck located above and below the plasma muscle when necessary. If there is loose and  inelastic skin, you may need the loose skin tightened. The photographs presented or not adequate to make a determination about an upper or lower eyelid surgery.
