Crepey neck skin - can I get away with an incision behind my ear only? (Photo)

October 30, 2022
Asked By:Med000 in England, United Kingdom

I am a 53 year old male. The skin on the bottom of my neck has gone all saggy and looks much older than the rest of my face. It's really bothering me. I want to fix it but not at the cost of incisions around the front of my ear. Can I get away with an incision behind my ear only? I don't mind a scar on my neck either if it means getting rid of this crepey skin. Can i get an incision somewhere on the neck through which the skin can be pulled?
