Is a neck lift right for me? (Photo)

Question

Hello Doctors, I am a 39 y/o female. I lost about 30 pounds over the course of a year. Most of my skin is perfectly in tact but I have some sagging neck skin. I'm not sure if it from aging or weight loss. Social media promotes "mini lifts" and I'm wondering if the is something that I should consider. Thanks!

Hello, hope you are well. Thanks for submitting your questions and photo. Based on what can be seen in the photo, you are likely a candidate for neck lift surgery. Weight loss is becoming an increasingly frequent reason for patients on the younger end of the spectrum to seek surgery. It is also very likely that the length of incisions can be limited to remain inconspicuous.

Best,
Dr. Tower

It would be best to post a full set of facial and neck photographs from all angles to make a determination about how best to proceed. Loose and elastic skin in the neck will need to be treated with a neck lift with skin removal, or lower face and neck lift procedure based on your anatomy. If you have prominent platysma muscle bands, then consider Botox.
