Hello, I'm almost 47. I've been lucky in the sense that my face has no wrinkles and I haven't had any procedures yet (except peels) however, I have started noticing that in certain positions the skin in the center of my neck looks saggy. Would laser resurfacing or peels help here? I didn't think it was sufficient for a major procedure (is it?). Thank you in advance for your advice.

Answer: Neck Skin Tightening I would consider a series of low energy, higher density fractionated CO2 laser treatments. A high energy resurfacing procedure or even a medium depth chemical peel both run the risk of adverse scarring. Skin in the neck has fewer hair follicles, sebaceous glands and other adnexal structures than the face and is therefore less able to fully recover from injury.

Answer: Start saving your pennies for a facelift. A judiciously performed lower facelift is a thing of beauty. The key is to find a surgeon who delivers natural results. Not an easy thing. There are a lot of famous surgeons in New York. To paraphrase Nora Ephron, that does not mean that they know how to sew human beings. You might find a willing dermatologist to inject the neck cords with botox. This will help them (not perfect but improved) and stay away from blouses with plunging necklines.
