Non-surgical Options for Loose Neck Bands?

March 3, 2009
Asked By:Sadycal in North Hollywood, CA

I desperately want to do something about my horrible neck bands. I had a liposuction a couple of years ago, at age 38, but no tightening and the neck looks worse than before. I eventually want to get surgery I guess, but it will take a while to save up. Financing is not an option. In the meantime, what non-surgical treatments might help, and how much do they run? I also recently had Total FX for acne scars, but see not difference really. I'm a mess. No skin tightening yet or filling in. It's been about two months. I'm getting Restylane for scars now, but still have a lot of indents. On top of all this, the horrible neck is just too much. Also, since I had a mid face lift, which I didn't even really want, I feel like I have absolutely no cheek bones anymore. My face is completely shapeless as in the last picture. Worse when I don't smile. Funny how some doctors talk you into things. I find it hard to trust cosmetic surgeons as it often seems to be just a business to them.
