I'm developing a neck wattle. I recall my great aunts had huge sagging wattles, which I did not find particularly attractive. And now it's payback time for my unkind thoughts.
How can I make it look better? Is this what a face or neck lift is supposed to take care of? Does plastic surgery for a neck wattle have a particular name? How successful can it be? What are the pros and cons? What about losing weight? I could stand to lose about 20 lbs. Would that make it better? I'm trying to lose the weight in any case. I'm only in my mid-40s, and based on what happened to my great aunts, I expect that my neck waddle will continue to grow as time goes on. Given those prospects, if I were to go a plastic surgery route, should I wait as long as possible? Should I plan on multiple surgeries? I suppose my other option is to embrace and love my wattle, as it's a connection to generations past and future. |

weight loss (slow and steady not fast!)
or surgery pretty much the only options... |
These or a turtleneck. |
| My aunt had a neck lift and she looks amazing. It made a huge difference for her. |

Look at Skin Tyte laser treatment for tightening, or also Cool Sculpt for the neck - both are nonsurgical treatments. I am looking at both, but the reviews I've read for cool sculpt say that it hurts like hell. Losing weight is a good idea, but you have to do it very slowly to keep the skin from sagging more.

| Has anyone used NeckPlex or Dermagist neck creams? I've been reading about them on-line and Dermagist seems to get good reviews. |
| Surgery is your only option. No lotion or potion will help you. |
| My mom just got a facelift entirely because of her neck. Got her eyes done, too. Recovery has been rich but the neck is going to look fantastic! |

These or a turtleneck. Turtlenecks exaggerate my waddle |
| Lower half facelift by top-notch plastic surgeon. Not the "lifestyle" lifts. |
| Would this particular surgery start to "wear off" or become less effective after 5 years or so as I hear some plastic surgery can? |
