Can a Topical Cream, with a Wrap Help with Turkey Neck? I Am 38 and Can't Afford Surgey.

Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! The treatments you describe of a topical cream and wrap may give you temporary results that would be nice for an evening out, but will not be lasting. You can consider Morpheus8 which combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture. We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.

Ultherapy is a non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. As we age, collagen breaks down, resulting in loss of skin strength and elasticity. For tissue tightening, Ultherapy is ideal for the lower face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Morpheus8 to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity.

"A combination approach would give the most improvement. Nonsurgical options such as Kybella, PDO NovaThreads, and Ultherapy do well in combination for skin tightening, but the results are mild compared to surgical options.

I would recommend a VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction with ThermiRF, Renuvion (J Plasma) and InMode BodyTite to contour and tighten the chin and neck. A neck lift can be performed at the same time, if you're a good candidate. I suggest seeing a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to develop a personalized treatment plan that works for you.

Being a great amount of laxity is not evident per your photographs, you may benefit from #non-surgical treatments that will provide results outlasting those of any #topical cream or garment. There are also some movements and exercises that may benefit you at this point. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn if you a are indeed an #candidate and also more about the #options available and which of those may be best for you.

As the other doctors have suggested, a topical cream will not provide you with much benefit.  I would suggest scheduling a consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your best options at the most affordable costs.
