What can be done to lift my neck more and reduce the lines? (photos)

Question

I'm 36 and have a low body weight. I've had chin lipo and love the results. The only issue is that I'm getting more laxity in my neck as I age. I use sunscreen, retinol, and neck covers in the sun, and keep my neck lifted when on the computer. However, the more prominent line on my neck now looks more like a "U" as it's starting to sag down. I really hate it. Is there anything that can raise it a bit, or make it less prominent? Thank you.

Injecting soft fillers like Belotero in this area can reduce lines, wrinkles and folds as well as improve skin texture with long-term collagen production. Fillers are being used more frequently to contour and lift rather than solely line fill. Of course, fillers are best used in combination with lasers and microneedling​ with PRP to get the optimal outcome.

I suggest getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist to create an individualized treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer

You may be a candidate for FaceTite.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology both on top of and just beneath the surface to tighten tissues.  No general anesthesia is required.  It can be combined with Morpheus8 treatments to address skin tone and texture and to optimize results.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Dear June,
Neck rejuvenation has several different components: fat, internal skin tightening and external skin rejuvenation.
