They suggested Radiesse for neck, but I don't see many examples?

Question

I'm concerned about my sagging neck after about 60 lbs of weight loss (I'm 46). Since I'm about 40 lbs from my goal weight, I'm going to delay a face/neck lift for next summer and do a noninvasive procedure to tighten my neck now. During my consultation, they suggested Radiesse as a way to tighten but not add volume. I'm also getting Radiesse for cheek filler and threads for jowls. I haven't seen a lot of pictures of Radiesse for neck so I'm wondering if this approach makes sense.

no this is not the right approach, you likely need skin tightening, lasers, and MNRF and threads or a surgery. fillers like radiesse will not help that much maybe some texture but very little. I suggest you post photos and consult.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hyper-dilute Radiesse is Raddiese which has been diluted with saline. It has the effect of lifting and tightening by producing collagen, but Hyper-dilute Radiesse does not replace volume like Radiesse does. 
I would use Hyper-dilute Radiesse, then wait six weeks and use PDO threads in the neck. I would reassess patient in six weeks and based on result, may offer more Hyper-dilute Radiesse if needed, waiting another six weeks and reassess and possible use more threads.

With weight loss you'll have excess skin.  At a minimum a minimally invasive therapy such as FaceTite or Morpheus8 would be necessary to tighten the skin.  A neck lift would be optimal.
