I am 38 y/o female who lost about 94 lbs about 1.5 years ago and have maintained my weight at 140 lbs. Within the past year I’ve noticed my skin on my neck looking more lax. I do lift heavy and notice I strain alot in my neck region and don’t know if that contributed to my skin being more lax in my neck. But was wondering if there are conservative options to help tighten and lift my neck?
