For my horizontal neck lines, I have double lines per band on my neck. It's deep and I would like to make it less visible or have it minimize. When I look down, my neck essentially bunches up. I'm in my mid-20s and I'm completely regular weight and BMI. What is the best non-surgical method to minimize the neck line. Instead of having 4 horizontal lines, is it possible to just have 2?
Answer: Fat Grafting or Fillers for Deep Horizontal Lines in Young Patient
A neck lift may not be appropriate in a younger patient. Fillers and or fat grafting to help obliterate the creases may be reasonable considerations in younger patients.

Answer: Neck Lines / Tech Neck / Neck Wrinkles -- Soft Fillers (Belotero) in combination w/ Lasers and Microneedling/PRP "Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling with PRP to get the optimal outcome. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer"

Answer: Treating horizontal neck lines As board certified plastic surgeon, I sometimes see patients who do not have excessive weight or a high BMI (body mass index), yet who have unusual distribution of fat, such as in your case. Your configuration unfortunately has nothing to do with your weight, but is due to your genetics and being predispositioned to having more fat in your neck than other areas of your body. No matter how much weight you lose with diet and exercise, you most likely will still have the neck lines. Based on the photos, there appears to be too much fat in the neck to consider trying to camouflage them with microdroplets of filler. I think the most effective treatment would be to liposuction the neck to smooth out the contour and reduce fullness. There might be the option of re-injecting some of this fat below/under the bands, depending on what is to be found upon physical exam. This procedure would be done in an operating room, and I use extremely small cannulas for a very exact approach. The recovery period is approximately one week. Even with the liposuction, you might still have four lines in your neck, however, as the lines are the natural folds of your skin, but if the fullness were reduced, the lines would appear less prominent. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your concerns and to see which treatments would be best for you.

Answer: Deep horizontal neck lines You are so young for a neck lift procedure. Fillers are an option. Fat grafting with spacer canola also help to fill the creases. Radiofrequency options like golden needles or Thermilift are other options worth to try. Expectationshould not be so high.

Answer: Double Deep Horizontal Neck Lines Per your photos, a great amount of laxity is not evident which is trait of most neck lift candidates. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin are among some factors which determine what lifting type treatments will best rejuvenate the #neck. In your case, the bands or #rings are across the neck which may not be significantly improved with surgery. Yet, you may experience improvement with #non-invasive in-office treatments. Therefore, I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn about the #options and products available and which may be best for you.
