Answer: Appropriateness of Necklift? Whether or not a necklift is an appropriate option depends on a few things that aren't apparent from your photos, and would require a personal examination. For instance, what is the cause of these wrinkles in the front of your neck? Is there a long scar hidden in the wrinkles? Does examination reveal that the skin in that area is stuck down to the underlying fascia or muscle? You have a slender neck, without much subcutaneous fat as padding between skin surface and platysma muscle, which suggests that your skin is adherent to the muscle. This is a difficult problem but possible options include release of any adhesions and fat grafting or placement of a thin biologic graft between the skin and muscle, as well as lifting the neck skin to remove any laxity in the front. However, this all depends on the findings of an in-person examination.

Answer: How are you not a candidate Scarring is not an excuse because the incisions for a lift are very well hidden. You appear to have indications for a lift. Its best to keep looking for another opinion in your area.
