Which procedure would help enhance my neck lift results? 1 year post op (photos)

I would perform a secondary face/neck lift. You need to redrape the excess skin of the neck and lower face to properly get the skin to have less redundancy/wrinkling.

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.

Thank you for your question and sharing your photographs.

The sequence of images suggests a significant improvement in the platysma muscles which is likely to be a long-term benefit to you and still considerable problems related to sun damage of the neck skin.

If when you lie down completely flat without a pillow and examine your facial and neck contours you are able to notice a degree of improvement in the neck skin that you feel would address your concerns reasonably well, it would be worth discussing the option of her repeat necklift in combination with a facelift procedure because the facelift can also help to absorb some of the skin excess in the neck.

If when you lie down completely flat the appearance of the neck skin is relatively similar to when you're standing up, most of the problem will not be related to displacement but rather to the degree of sun damage affecting the skin and nonsurgical treatments would be potentially a better course of action.

My best guess would be that there is potential scope for a re-tightening for the neck skin but analysis from photographs can be quite tricky. It it is worth discussing these points with your surgeon.
