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

Question

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.
