Why is there not a simple skin tuck to pull the loose skin up and eliminate the loose skin?

November 14, 2013

To continue with details on why the neck skin is not just pulled up under the ears and surgically attatched. When I gently pull the skin under my jaw bone, toward my ear just a little bit, the loose skin tightens up nicely. The wrinkles go away! Would it not be easy to do this surgically too, bring that skin back to under the ear and perminently attach it there with staples or sutures?
