I am very self conscious of what I have going on in my neck area. I am not that* old at age 37 and not overweight 136 lbs at 5'6 size 4 pants. I am desperate to fix this so that I can feel confident especially in photos I can't stand to even look at them anymore :( please suggest honest outcome expectation if I pursue surgery? I am very healthy but do have Hashimoto's thyroiditis for low thyroid. I don't know if that can cause the neck area to look like this but overall the rest of skin is ok

Answer: Neck Contouring There are a spectrum of options available for you for neck contouring, depending on tissue quality and if any prior procedures have been performed to the area. I think the most impactful procedure would be a necklift. The necklift would take care of the extra fat, loose muscles/bands and loose skin. There are technologies to treat loose skin or excess fat if you want to take a more conservative approach. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon to get the full array of options, with guaranteed prioritization of safety. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Which procedure would be best for targeting my neck area at 37 years of age A surgical neck lift accomplishes conjuring the neck itself by removal of fat deposits, located both above and below the plasma muscle, liposuction, and tightening the plasma muscle in the front of the neck with a plasma plasty procedure. No skin removal is needed. If you have loosen and elastic skin in the neck, then lower face and neck lift would be required to lift the jowls, tighten loose facial and neck skin in addition to tightening loose facial and neck muscles
