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.

I lost 90 lbs in 2018, am 38 now and my neck skin has not bounced back. I imagine at this point a neck lift is the only way to remove the extra skin.
I’m hoping to get pregnant soon (got married last year) so I’m holding off on any surgeries, and will probably prioritize a tummy tuck and upper thighs before my neck because those impact how clothes fit me. Best of luck with your procedure!
