Flabby Wrinkly Neck After Losing Weight, How Can I Fix It?

Bio Oil and Massage will not help your neck appearance.Depending on the degree of excess neck skin will determine the best approach ranging from a modified facelift (mini lift), neck lift only to a full traditional facelift with or without platysmal plication. For most I have been able to use a mini lift such as the MACS lift, Lite Lift and others will improve both the lower face(jawline) as well as the neck. A necklift mainly focuses on the neck. The best value and quickest recovery time in my experienced is from a mini-lift procedure. For more extensive turkey waddle problems there is no substitute for a traditional facelift/necklift procedures.An exam is always needed to determine how the specific causes of your undesired neck appearance. In particular there are 4 main factors that need to be evaluated:1. the amount of redundant skin, excess fat below the chin, (requires neck or facelift)2. banding of your neck mid-line neck muscles (platysmal bands) - requires platysmal plication (neck tightening)3. elasticity of your skin. - requires laser or peels, thermage, ultherapy4. a weak chin (supports the skin structure) - requires chin augmentationEach of these components are dealt with in a different manner. For example, excess fat requires direct removal or liposuction (more common), widely spread playtsmal bands are brought together (neck tightening), and excess skin is removed with a lower facelift or neck lift (this can be done with minimal scars). Certain lasers and peels can help with elasticity problems and your photo seems to indicate adequate chin projection.Traditional liposuction removes excess fat superficial to the platysmal muscle. A neck lift is able to remove fat both above and below the platysmal muscle and tighten it; this will give a more defined jaw/neck line. .The lax skin in your upper neck can be approached directly by a less invasive facelift in the mini-face lift such as the MAC or Lite Lift procedures. The least invasive would be one of these procedures which corrects the upper neck loose skin extremely well.. My own personal preference and in my hands the one with the least invasive approach is a Lite Lift which is performed in my office under local anesthesia with some oral sedation without the need for IV sedation or general anesthesia.Always go to a board certified plastic surgeon with great experience in neck and face lifting.

For loose, excess skin, there is no substitute for surgery, and I wouldn’t expect the bio-oil and massage to help. As a board certified plastic surgeon who truly enjoys facelifting and neck lifting, I often hear from patients who are so happy to have lost the weight, but are now dealing with loose skin, commonly of the face and neck. I would recommend considering a neck lift to remove the excess skin as well as the remaining fat. The way I perform the surgery, I hide the incision behind the ear so that you could wear your hair short or back without any telltale signs of surgery in easy view. This would be the most effective and transformative result, leaving behind no excess skin and creating a smooth neck contour. There are minimally invasive procedures you could consider such as microneedling with RF but the results will not be as transformative as the neck lift. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon in person to discuss your concerns and options.

Weight loss comes with significant health benefits and unfortunately some aesthetic shortcomings, in particular when the skin has started to lose some elasticity.Ideally, before considering surgery you should finish your weight loss project, even if  the neck appearance is problematic. In the interim, an assessment with a surgeon can identify whether the neck lines are associated with platysma muscle tension, in which case Botox or equivalent could assist through your weight loss journey. Ultimately, a neck lift or facelift and neck lift procedure is the specific treatment for your concerns as it help to adapt the skin envelope to the new volume of the area under the chin.

Thank you for  your question.  Congratulation for your weigh loss, now you also need to be prepared with the changes that your body and face will suffer as consequence for you weigh loss.  In your face the nasolabial folds will become more prominent and also your cheeks are going to lose volume.  In  your neck the skin is gong to be loser and you might have platysma muscle band more expose the massage will not help this condition

Hi,
Weight gain and then loss will  cause loss of elasticity in your neck as well as facial volume and skin.  Over the counter home remedies do not help tighten the skin of the neck to any significant degree.  Even some of the devices we have such as laser, radio frequency, chemical peel are not all that helpful. 
But a neck lift or lower facelift will work very well to remove the excess skin, tighten the neck. In addition, V line can be restored and neck bands, turkey neck waddle, neck bands and jowl can be fixed. The down time is only about a week.  
I hope that helps.  

Congratulations on the weight loss! The neck can have horizontal wrinkles and wrinkly skin especially after losing weight. Genetics as well as from sun damage and aging can also play a key role and can explain why some people have a worse flabby neck appearance than others who might've also lost the same amount of weight. This area can be very bothersome to patients.Surgical treatment with possibly a neck lift and short scar facelift is the best way to get rid of them but this will leave scars which some people don’t want.There are several nonsurgical options to consider. Some can be done at the same time. Surgery combined with Botox and filler injections, laser treatments and chemical peels before or after surgery are all good options.  These procedures can be done safely in the office and the results are often very satisfying. An in-office private consultation and examination with a board-certified plastic surgeon would be the best way to fully  address your specific concerns and determine the right treatment plan. I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of facelifts & neck lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations.

It is great that you are ambitious to loose weight- unfortunately the reward is loose and flabby skin all over the body as in face and neck as in your case. This can be quite demotivating, I understand. However it sounds to me that the surgical route via a necklift or even in combination of a TBT-lift of your neck and face might be the best solution with long-term results. A necklift can takes about 1.5 hours and can even be performed under local anaesthesia. We manage to tighten your flat neck muscle (Platysma) and remove all of the excess skin which causes the saggy and flabby look. With a neck lift I can also create a defined jawline. It is a wonderful procedure and there is not one of my patients who ever regretted it. With further weight loss you might experience loss of the volume in your face and vertical wrinkles over your flattened cheeks. In this case you might consider combining the necklift with a TBT-lift of your face during which I reposition the saggy fat and skin of your face. It guarantees an absolute natural look (no wind-tunnel!) with preserving or even better recreating the characteristic facial features of your younger face. A specialist plastic surgeon will guide you in the decision making. Don't worry- the modern neck- and facelifts are wonderful procedures whose only goal is to recreate the younger you!

After significant weight loss, soft tissue can become lax, even in the face and neck area. This also tends to worsen as a part of the normal aging process. Surgical procedures to tighten the neck are generally the best option as they can be customized to the individual patient and provide very noticeable and long-lasting results. One way to assess the expected results would be a consultation with a surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics who can talk you through the various options and even possibly provide you with computer simulations of what you might be able to expect with surgery. This can often be a good communication tool for doctors and patients.Alternatively, laser resurfacing can provide some degree of improvement in skin quality and tightening, but the tightening effect will be minimal and will not compare to a surgical lifting procedure.
All the best,

Great news on your #weight loss. Without photos, it's difficult to determine if a non-surgical treatment will address your concern. Also, it really depends on the amount of #sagging you are experiencing.  The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck. During an in-person examination, your chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.
The best neck #lift surgeon will evaluate both your anatomical features and aesthetic goals to determine which neck lift procedure best suits your individual needs. In some cases your plastic surgeon may give you more than one option to choose from. If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board certified plastic surgeon can recommend non-surgical alternatives to address your concern. 

Weight loss is an exceptionally desirable result. Patients who have dedicated themselves to improving their overall health and  increasing their well-being with weight loss will notice many improvements in their quality of life. These include but are not limited to increased energy level increased libido increased sex drive increased satisfaction with relationships as well as oneself.  However one of the  negative side effects from massive weight loss is the revolving position or readjustment of volume within the face. Loss of volume throughout the body will also result in loss of volume in one's face. The resultant change in the vector of pull on the skin will  result in a downward vector of the skin as a result of gravity. The stretched out skin now it no longer supported by the volume of fat in the face or neck will hang and be more dependent. This results in a more aged and tired appearance. No amount of topical creams or even lazer treatment or micro needling or derma planning will improve this condition. 
 To address their excess skin which has developed over time as a response to the volume of fat in the face and neck redistribution of the existing underlying muscles and fashion and then subsequent redraping of the overlying skin with small incisions in front of the year that extend around behind the year will allow a repositioning of the soft tissues and an overall rejuvenation and youthful appearance of the face and neck. 
 Congratulations on your huge accomplishment of weight loss. Now enjoy the fruits of your labor and if conditions are optimal for you, proceed with a neck and face lift to help you achieve the final results of your spectacular recovery. 

Significant weight loss, especially in older men and women, is often accompanied by loose, sagging excess skin. A neck lift would likely be the best option for you to regain a smoother, more youthful-looking neck. While there are non-surgical means available, such as skin tightening or resurfacing lasers, these work best on minor signs of skin laxity. From your description, it sounds as though surgery would get you the best results. An in-person consultation is needed to say for sure, so I recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon to see what your options are. I hope this helps.
