I'm 31 and have always been thin but for some reason my neck seems to look way older than it should– especially compared to my friends who are the same age (see photo...I'm the one in white). There isn't saggy skin, just not enough fat. Is there anything I can do to correct this problem? Thanks!

Answer: Neck Rejuvenation There are many techniques to maintain a youthful neck depending on the issues involved, genetics and external factors like sun exposure and smoking. Early on simple treatment like neurotoxins or microneedling can help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, there are many laser and light devices which help to control or reverse photodamage, spots and stains on then skin. As time continues and the skin begins to loosen, minimally invasive procedures with radiofrequency like Thermi Tight, Thermage etc can help with tightening. Ultimately, when there is excess fat accumulation or very lose skin, the gold standard treatment is a necklift or a facelift. In this case, excess fat, tightening of the muscles and removal of excess skin can be accomplished at the same time. Sometimes if the person is young and has good skin elasticity but has accumulation of fat, treatments like a submental liposuction or Kybella can be used. Although Kybella is effective at reducing fat deposits, it does NOT tighten the skin so one must be careful to diagnose then patient properly.

Answer: Mini Facelift & Mini neck lift -- FaceTite RF for internal skin tightening + Neck Liposuction for definition/contouring FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime. Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Old necks may be treated with botox, ultherapy, Infini, ThermiSmooth This answer can not be personalized to your condition as the photograph is not a close up and photographs only show 2-D not three dimensions. If muscle bands are more prominent then Botox may help this. If the skin is photodamaged and inelastic, Fraxel laser resurfacing or Infini microneedling with radiofrequency may help. Skin can be tightened with Ultherapy, ThermiTight and Infini microneedling. Filler injections are not commonly done in the neck and may leave irregularities.
