Hi there, I have an unusual amount of extra, stretchy, neck skin. It's kind of funny to show it to people actually. I am 34 years old, and I am worried that my jaw line is beginning to soften, and soon I'll have multiple chins, as my mom and grandma have/had. What treatments if any should I be doing now to help tighten it up and prevent this? Will I need a neck lift?

Answer: Neck liposuction with laser, or kybella Hello and thank you for your excellent question. You are a great candidate for non-invasive neck definition. I suggest using laser assisted liposuction or kybella. Preoperative visualization and surgical simulation with the Crisalix system may help with your decision. Any treatment plan should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
