I am 55 years old. I am tall and slim, have been same weight (+/-5 pounds) all my adult life. My face looks OK, but developed sagging, wrinkled skin under my chin past 2 years. It's not fat, skin is very soft and sagging. I am getting married and want to look best in one year. What would give me best results in my case: Ultherapy, CoolSculpting® or Surgical Neck lift?

Answer: Non surgical vs surgical neck lift Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. Ultherapy would be a good option for you if you desire and improvement of approximately 20 to 30%. A more invasive procedure called silhouette instalift will have approximately 40 to 50% improvement and a neck lift approximately 80 to 90% improvement. These procedures go from noninvasive to minimal and invasive spectrum. Of course an in person consultation and review of these options it would be best suited.

Answer: Good, Better, Best Results for sagging neck... Thank you for your question. Congrats on the wedding! The Best results would no doubt be a surgical lift, this is an invasive procedure but will yield about a 80% improvement. Better results may be obtained with a treatment like ThermiRF which may yield about a 40% improvement and is minimally invasive. Good Results may be obtained with Ulthera, which will yield about 20% improvement with zero downtime, though it typically takes 3-6 months to see results. Ulthera can also be combined with threads like Novathreads to yield faster and better results also with zero downtime. Coolsculpting is not an option. Regards, Dr. Matt Elias
