I am a 47 year old woman, BMI ~21.5. I don’t feel fat under my chin, I think it’s just skin. Can a achieve a tighter neck/ under chin area through non surgical options (like Ultherapy) or is a neck lift my only option? Thank you for your help, I sincerely appreciate it!
Answer: Is a tighter neck possible without surgery? You have some laxity of the neck skin and underlying fascia blunting the cervicomental angle. It looks like solar aging is contributing to this, sun exposure. To tighten the neck with a minimally invasive procedure, more effective than purely non-invasive treatments, I suggest you research MyEllevate. This is a non-incision suture suspension neck lift designed to get a better submental, cervicomental contour. It is accompanied by skin tightening, in my practice Cynosure Sidelaze 1440 laser. All treatments have a certain duration and treating your skin and preventing excess sun exposure play the main role here.

Answer: Neck and Face Rejuvenation with Endolift Laser and PDO Threads There are excellent non-surgical options available. Patients with moderate skin laxity of the lower face and neck are ideal candidates for the Endolift Laser which is FDA approved and used throughout Europe. I brought it to the Connecticut area to offer my patients an alternative to a surgical facelift. When used in combination with PDO Threads and possibility facial fillers, the results are ideal and the downtime is minimal. You may also benefit from selective facial fillers: Radiesse, RHA or Restylane to contour your jawline and cheeks. This will support lax skin and muscle of the lower face. The combination of the Endolift Laser, PDO Thread Lift and selective Facial Fillers is the choice for patients who wish rapid recovery, have moderate laxity of facial and neck skin and wish a natural and rejuvenated appearance. Botox will not assist sagging skin but when appropriate can diminish prominent neck bands or muscles.

Answer: Utherapy plus morpheus8 and IPL can all help improve appearance of the neck. Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Non surgical option An in person evaluation is best but you may be a candidate for FaceTite. This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten skin and stimulate collagen production. No general anesthesia is needed. You can also combine FaceTite with other treatments such as Morpheus8 to enhance your results.

Answer: Skin Tightening for the Neck -- Kybella, Ultherapy, PDO NovaThreads, Thermage vs VASER Lipo w/ ThermiRF, Neck Lift A combination of non-surgical options like Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, Ultherapy and Thermage would do well in combination for skin tightening for the neck. VASER Liposuction (with ThermiRF, Renuvion and InMode FaceTite) is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck and can be combined with a neck lift at the same time, if you're a candidate. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a long-term treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
