Would a thread lift on my neck help me until I can afford a neck lift? What will help tighten this loose skin mess? I am 39.

Hello,

Thank you for the photos. The thread lift procedure will definitely help in your case. For best results it can be combined with platysmal bands Botox injections.

Good luck,

Hello suezzq,
I would recommend visiting with a professionally skilled cosmetic surgeon in your area to discuss your treatment options. This way, you can discuss your ultimate aesthetic goals with the surgeon for the best recommendation. However, from the pictures provided, it doesn't look like the issue is sagging-skin related, which would be the best reason to receive a thread lift. Best of luck. 

From looking at your pictures I do not think a thread lift would be the primary procedure. The two prominent bands near the front of your throat should be addressed with Botox or Dysport as they appear to be two fibromuscular bands. Your skin could be tightened with Ulthera Ultrasound or ThermiSmooth Radiofrequency. A threadlift could tighten the area just under your jawline. An actual neck lift would give you the most dramatic results.

Yes a thread lift on your neck may help to bob you along till a more formal lift is indicated. Remember however that threads only without skin incision normally last a short time only eg twelve months.
