Asked By:mgy in North Carolina, NC

I can see the area under my chin sagging & when look down it looks like I have 2 chins. crepyness in center of neck. I am a thin woman 110lbs at 5'3". plastic surgeon who said I am too young for a neck lift & recommended I try Botox for platysmal bands and/or laser to tighten. nurse who normally does my Botox gave me the Botox in the neck. She said do not do the laser as it is a waste of time and money. Botox did nothing. why won't a surgeon do a neck lift at my age? Is there any other option?
