Will loose skin on the chin go back to normal, or do I need a neck lift`? (Photo)

Question

Hello, after some weight loss im now getting a tt and thigh lift. I also have ssome loose skin on the chin but my doctor said it will go back to nnormal after some time without procedures. Is it possible or is a neck lift inevitable?

Elie Ramly, MD · Answer

Some improvement in loose skin after weight loss is certainly possible, particularly in younger patients with good skin elasticity, so a neck lift is not necessarily inevitable.
However, whether the skin will fully retract depends on several factors, including your age, genetics, skin quality, the amount and speed of weight loss, and how much true skin laxity is present. After significant weight loss, the skin sometimes loses enough elasticity that it cannot completely conform to the smaller underlying volume.
I would recommend reaching a stable weight and allowing time for the tissues to settle before deciding on surgery. If meaningful loose skin remains and continues to bother you, a neck lift can directly address excess skin and, when appropriate, the underlying platysma and deeper neck anatomy.
From a photograph alone, it is difficult to determine how much will naturally improve. An in-person examination by a plastic surgeon who specializes in face and neck rejuvenation to evaluate your skin elasticity and neck anatomy would be the best way to determine whether observation or treatment is appropriate.
