Hello. I'm 44 and unhappy with the sagging skin and extra fat around my neck. I am not going to have a facelift yet for several reasons. I know many doctors do not like to do a neck lift for aging without a facelift. But that is the approach I would like to take. Am I making a big mistake?

Answer: Options for Sagging Skin and Extra Fat in 44 YO It is certainly possible to perform an isolated necklift to tighten neck skin and muscles, as well as remove any extra fat. The only reason to add the cheek and upper facelift to the mix is if there is noticeable loose skin there. Based on your photo, I think the necklift should help smooth and firm your neck.

Answer: Skin Tightening for the Neck -- Kybella, Ultherapy, PDO NovaThreads, Thermage vs VASER Lipo w/ ThermiRF, Neck Lift A combination of non-surgical options like Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, Ultherapy and Thermage would do well in combination for skin tightening for the neck. VASER Liposuction (with ThermiRF, Renuvion and InMode FaceTite) is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck and can be combined with a neck lift at the same time, if you're a candidate. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to develop a long-term treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.
