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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
