I want to tighten my neck/under the chin area. Am I a good candidate for a thread lift? (Photos)

Unlike other tightening treatments, Ultherapy only requires a single treatment every one to two years and has long-term effects in skin stimulation and collagen production. Ultherapy is ideal for men and women who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and desire a noticeable and long-term skin tightening treatment without the complications and risks of more invasive surgical procedures. Ultherapy can be combined with dermal fillers, Botox treatments, chemical peels, skin tightening lasers, and skin facials. Our plastic surgery and cosmetic center in Santa Monica offers Ultherapy as a complement to other skin treatments and cosmetic rejuvenation procedures.

Nothing is going to fix your jawline/neck problem other than a lower face/neck lift which is easy to undergo and done safely under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort. You would look amazing and so natural looking

Considering moderate skin laxity of your neck and platysma muscle bands, your options should be procedures with neck skin excision and platysma muscle tightening, platysmoplasty. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation i face/neck lifts is recommended. good luck.

For minimal neck laxity, you might wish to consider a nonsurgical HA filler necklift. This usually entails skillful injection of an appropriately robust HA filler in certain regions of the posterior neck in order to provide the necessary lift and traction to tighten the front of the neck.
Threadlifts carry a significant risk for the development of skin dimpling, infection and thread extrusion, which is why I gave up performing them many years ago. The use of other relatively expensive approaches, such as fraxel lasers, RF and ultrasound devices unfortunately are backed far more by marketing hype and social media buzz than hard science. So, "buyer beware" when considering these.
You would be wise to consult with a board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello,
Thank you for this question.
Threads are designed to create the appearance of lift, but they do not and cannot actually tighten the deeper tissues beneath the skin. The concept behind a thread lift focuses on pulling the surface layer, which is flexible and expandable by nature. Because of this, any improvement tends to be short-lived.
In a true surgical lift, the approach is completely different. The foundation (the deeper tissues and muscles) is tightened first, and only then is the excess skin refined. This is what creates real, lasting support. When the underlying base is not addressed, the skin alone cannot hold that lift for long.
Choosing who performs your treatment matters greatly. Surgeons are trained to see, reach, and understand the full anatomy beneath the skin. Other types of providers may not have the same level of exposure to these internal structures, which can limit what they’re able to safely or effectively correct.
If your goal is a result that feels natural and lasts, it’s best to seek someone with deep knowledge of facial and neck anatomy. Someone who understands not just how things look, but how they function together. Treating the true cause always gives the best and most trustworthy result.

Based on your post photos, my recommendation would be a combination of either factor graft or draw line OSHA fillers with Endo lift laser of the jawline under chin fee $8000-$12,000. Best of virtual consult with.
I do not recommend threading or thread lifts since their longevity is less than 2-3 months
