Loose skin after weight loss - What will help my neck the most? (Photos)

Question

I’m including some pics here. After weight loss, my neck looks very loose. I’ve always had acne scars that I hate, but I couldn’t tolerate laser. I don’t even know where to start… But my neck bothers me the most. Suggestions for the surgery I should have?

Thank you for your question and photos!
This is something we have been seeing more frequently with the weight loss supplements that have become available. With weight loss comes a decrease in facial fat which can leave the skin looking loose and stretched. The best option in my opinion is a face/neck lift based on areas of concern. While I understand the neck is your biggest concern, it is important to also consider addressing the fat loss/excess skin in the face as a whole via a full face lift rather than just the neck alone. 
Your best option is likely to schedule a consult with a plastic surgeon that specializes in facial rejuvenation and discuss the nuances of the surgery and decide what would be best in your situation.
Hope this helps and best of luck!Kyle Kimura, MD

Congratulations on your weight loss! Based on your photos, a Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift would likely provide the greatest improvement by addressing the loose skin, underlying muscles, jawline, and neck contour.
For the acne scars and overall skin quality, surface-improvement treatments such as microneedling with exosomes may be considered after surgical healing. An in-person consultation is essential to determine the best plan for your anatomy.
