Saggy, droopy neck, any suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone.

I am 7 months post-op. I have gone from 289lbs down to 190lbs (woohoo! 99lbs gone for good). I understand that we can't do much for excess skin, but I always figured I could hid it with clothes. My problem is where my extra chin use to be is now very loose. It looks like a turky gobbler neck. It is driving me nuts. It is way too early for me to consider pastics.

Does anyone have any suggestions or remedies (short term or long term). I've been using neck firming cream but other than that I have no clue what to try. BTW.......Turtle neck shirts make it look worse.

I also have this issue. I hate it, too. At 15 months out, I think it is better than it was at 7 months. It's surprising to me that my skin seems to be catching up - a little. I've gotten wraps, use firming cream, but I think it will never be firm unless I have plastics on it. I'm 51, so I'm sure that contributes to it. I've also heard of "face lift facials" but not sure how well that would work either. The aesthetician did show me how to work the muscles of my neck....I figure it's worth a try! If it get's a little bit better, I think it might be tolerable. Now my arms....that's another story!

I've been reading a lot about this problem--also looking for a solution. I found out that the best solution is laser therapy. How many treatments you need depends on how much droopy skin you have. I'm planning on talking to a dermatologist who specializes in laser therapy. Good luck and congrats on your weightloss success!

Tilt your neck/head back open your mouth slowly and close it slowly you could feel the workout on your neck do 5 reps of 10 like 3 times a day. I'm 30yrs old my insanity trainer told me to do that. I could feel it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
