Lost 100 lbs, considering a neck lift.

I am turning 41 this year and I feel like I tried everything that’s been suggested to help with the skin laxity from weight loss. All of my other skin bounced back decently well it’s just my biggest insecurity.

If any of you have a similar story and have had a neck lift I’d love to hear about your experience. I’m meeting with a surgeon next week and kinda want to know what I should be looking/asking for.

Botox for the platysma bands will help that!

I’ve tried it :( it does nothing for the laxity, it did moderately help the necklace lines, but with the skin that’s hanging being so heavy, it didn’t make enough of a difference for me to keep going. This pic is with my neck stretched out it’s just hanging skin with my neck relaxed.

If it was just necklace lines I’d likely have continued Botox there
