So having lost some weight, my skin under the neck is a bit saggy. I already have short neck, my side face makes it look more obvious.

Question is, will the skin snap back a little may be in months to a year?

How has your experience been, did you face skin snap back especially your neck area?

You’ll find it will be similar to how the loose skin on the rest of your body responds. My neck looked pretty bad for a while. Lots of fine vertical lines running down from under my chin. They improved a lot over time - in my second year. My face looked drawn for a while too but it improved as well. You’ll notice once your weight stabilises, your body seems to resettles a bit which helps. I tried a few things like radio frequency sessions but don’t think they really did anything except I looked a bit fresher in the short term.

I have a short neck too but it looks longer now because I don’t have as much fat around my shoulders & neck. You’ll discover that too.

I have a saggy neck too. Right under my chin, ugh. I had sculptra on my face and that helps a lot with the gaunt look after weight loss but not sure what to do with my neck yet. lol

things sort of shift around during year 2 or 3 and people do look better (as in not as "drawn"), but if there's a lot of sagging, you'll still probably have some. I had a neck lift last year and finally lost my "turkey neck".

How's the scar for neck lift?

I took some pictures and I think I see some difference with some face yoga or may be just little more weight loss. Sagging looks little better. So I suppose, I'll just to wait and watch how it looks towards the end of my weight loss and what procedures I may or may not need.

I have a wrinkly neck definitely. And no, it didn’t snap back. Boo.

(am 3.5+ yrs post op sleeve)

I’ve done microneedling and botox in that area to minimal improvement.

Am doing preliminary planning to get a neck lift or lower face lift to address, but im am historically prone to hypertrophic scarring so im a little hesitant.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
