I want a smooth look to my neck, I need to know what kind of prodcedure I need so please help me out Need advice.
Answer: Smoothing Out Neck Rolls Neck rolls like the ones demonstrated in your photo are typically from localized fat collection in your neck. The reasons for this are multifactorial - for example "runs in the family", related to your weight, hormonal, congenital,etc. Liposuction using fine cannulas are very helpful for this. If loose skin is an issue then some non invasive treatments like Ultherapy, Thermage, Thermi-RF, or the Sciton Laser BBL SkinTyte are good options as well. The result is significant improvement for most cases.Next step is to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Neck procedures Thank you for the picture but it is not the correct view to render an opinion. The profile view is the most useful view. In general liposuction or facelift procedures can improve one's neck line.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

Answer: Smooth Neck It is hard to see your neck in the picture you provided. However there are several procedures ranging from Botox Cosmetic to liposuction to neck lift to improve the neck contour. Which procedure is best depends on your anatomy. It is best to schedule a consultation to review your options.Good Luck.

Answer: What will help my neck It is difficult to determine what the best option would be for your neck from the pictures that you have provided. There are several options ranging from less invasive to more invasive. Botox can help soften banding that occurs in the neck. Ultherapy is a non-invasive option that can tighten the skin and underlying muscle and improve the contour of your neck. Lipocontouring of the neck is a great option for contouring of the neck as well. Lipocontouring removes excess fat and contours the jawlind and neckline for improved definition. Finally, neck lift surgery is an option. This option is good for patients who have loose skin and muscle in the neck which needs to be lifted and tightened.

Answer: Neck Enhancement This picture is not sufficient to allow an assessment and recommendation in this instance. I am copying my discussion of Neck Enhancement as a general discussionNeck EnhancementRichard O. Gregory, MDMany times the neck is the “forgotten component” of beauty and yet is one of the more common complaints of people who have had the unfortunate fate of seeing a photo taken at a wedding or elsewhere revealing that “component” problems. Surely we can wear a high necked shirt or lots of neck jewelry but that always raises suspicions.We spend a lot of time improving our faces and forget about the remainder (including neck, chest, arms and hands).It starts with the skin which of course starts with skin cleansing, moisturizing, sun screen, etc. But the need goes beyond those things and should include retinoid, a topical form of vitamin. We have retinyl palmitate in our skin when we are young but we lose it as we age along with the youthfulness it grants. Tretinoin will help restore that youthful beauty.Lumps, bumps, barnacles and brown spots including that parchment or leathery appearance can be addressed with laser which may also tighten the skin a small amount. There are many different kinds of lasers and many different kinds of laser practitioners (make certain you get the appropriate one of each in order to avoid making it worse.)Skin peels may help some, but again peels come in many different varieties.Hiding under the skin (but not hidden by it) may be rolls of excess ice cream and cookies = double chin, or that classic subject of ridicule the “turkey gobbler folds” (otherwise known as the dewlap or wattle).Some of this may be inherited, but you can “disinherit” it in some cases with judicious liposuction, if the skin is adequate to pick up the slack. Radio frequency treatment done internally or externally may tighten as well as melt the fat. I am somewhat skeptical of some external energy sources such as ultrasound or some microwave that have to penetrate several layers of tissue in order to reach the target which is the stretched, distorted collagen bundles which suspend the skin. Speaking of “inherited” we inherit much of our neck problem and the best way of improving that is surgery. Frequently this is part of the facelift.All of these approaches deserve a much more comprehensive discussion and a consultation with a plastic surgeon that is experienced in these various modalities of improving the appearance of the neck, “the forgotten component.”
