I had a facelift to tighten neck in 2009, but the skin is loose again and not matching my face. Do I have any options?

embeau
The skin is loose and crepey but there isn't extra fat or heavy jowls or a turkey neck. I really don't want the FULL procedure again because it was painful and the scars in hairline caused loss of hair for me. (And I had fine hair to begin with). I wear my hair short, so a vertical scar at back of neck is not an option.
