38 years old, lost about 30 lbs and noticed neck sagging. What are the best procedures to help slow the sagging? (photo)

​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.​

For addressing neck sagging following weight loss, our practice offers effective non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments tailored to your specific concerns. Here are the best options to consider based on the procedures we provide:

Given your recent weight loss and the early signs of neck sagging, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can be an excellent starting point. PRP uses your body’s natural healing factors to stimulate collagen production and enhance skin elasticity, which can help tighten the skin and reduce sagging over time. PRP is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a natural approach to rejuvenation.

For more immediate results, thread lifts are a minimally invasive option that can provide a visible lift to the neck area. Threads not only offer structural support to sagging skin but also stimulate collagen production over time. This approach is ideal for younger patients like yourself who want to address mild laxity without undergoing surgery.

We also recommend pairing these treatments with medical-grade skincare to maintain skin health. Products focused on hydration and collagen stimulation, along with the regular application of sunscreen, will further protect and enhance your results. Additionally, periodic maintenance treatments such as Low-Intensity Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (LI-ESWT) can improve overall skin texture and firmness.

We recommend scheduling a consultation to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals. Combining these options can help slow down the effects of sagging and restore a more youthful contour to your neck area.
