At the age of 47, I'm currently undergoing a weight loss journey, and I've observed that my neck and throat area has become flabby with the emergence of noticeable longitudinal wrinkles. Previously, I've been fortunate to have minimal wrinkles, but these are now quite deep, and I find it challenging to accept their appearance. I'm wondering if surgery is my only viable option and what kind of improvement I can realistically expect from it. Currently, I've been using Bio-oil and massage, but I haven't seen any improvement yet, which is disheartening.

Hi, Weight gain and then loss will cause loss of elasticity in your neck as well as facial volume and skin. Over the counter home remedies do not help tighten the skin of the neck to any significant degree. Even some of the devices we have such as laser, radio frequency, chemical peel are not all that helpful. But a neck lift or lower facelift will work very well to remove the excess skin, tighten the neck. In addition, V line can be restored and neck bands, turkey neck waddle, neck bands and jowl can be fixed. The down time is only about a week.

I've developed a saggy and wrinkled neck after losing weight. What can I do to address this issue?

I'm in my early twenties, and I've had these deep neck creases for as long as I can remember. They're even starting to extend onto my collarbone area, and they really bother me because it seems like nobody my age is dealing with this issue. I'm interested in exploring relatively affordable, non-surgical methods to significantly reduce these lines.

Hi, The horizontal neck lines are a hereditary condition. None of the treatment options are perfect as neck lifting or other face lift surgeries. But include botulinum toxin and fillers help to some degree and it is temporary. Longer term options could involve golden needle radio frequency, surgery with stem cell riches fat grafting, other radiofrequency options like Thermi RF. Liposuction to release the skin from the underlying muscle is also a good option. Again the expectactation should not be so high.

How can I effectively tackle deep neck creases in my early twenties?

Is the healing process lengthy, and will I require significant assistance with daily tasks at home? What should I anticipate during the recovery phase after a neck lift procedure? Is the healing process prolonged, and will I require substantial assistance with household tasks?

After the neck lifting operation the recovery period depends on your physical status, age, general health and condition mainly. The operation itself does not take too long therefore you receive a mild anesthesia. Since the anesthesia that you receive is mild; you will not have problems associated with anesthetic agents after the operation. You can start to do your daily activities just after the operations but we do not advise you heavy lifting, running or activities that require excess physical activity. The more you rest, the faster your recovery will be.
