Lost 40 pounds at 28 years years old Do I need a neck lift or can this be done non surgically? (Photos)

Question

I've always had aha neck lines but they've gotten very pronounced recently with age and losing 40 pounds. When I stand Idont mind them, but any other movement they bother me also worried they're causing the rest of my face and chin to fall.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Assuming you're talking about the horizontal neck lines, this is mostly a skin quality issue and largely genetic. However, the last photo does seem to hvae some crepey type texture, which also suggests maybe some collagen loss. So I would focus on skin treatments - good topical daily regimens, microneedling, etc.

based on your age and overall excellent skin quality you might want to consider Renuvion which helps to tighten neck skin in a scarless fashion

Based on your shoes and nicely posted photos, the weight loss has left you with some excess skin of the jawline neck and under 10 area before beginning a full open neck lift technique or even a mini neck lift. I might try the Endo laser treatment under local anesthesia. Best of virtual concert with fees range from $8000-$15,000. Best of virtual concert
