Question 1

i am a 60 year old female-who has gradually increasing wrinkles and sagging skin on her neck. i also have sensitive skin. what would help ?

Accepted Answer

A lot of options: You can first try staying out of the sun as often as possible, always wear sunscreen (neutrogena is good for sensitive skin), dont smoke, get a good amount of sleep, sleep on your back, try not to squint, if you need reading glasses get some, dont over-wash your face, use a moisturizer, lay off the coffee and try cocoa instead, and eat healthier foods. I hope this helped :].

Question 2

is having a lower "neck lift" to remove the semi sagging skin the same as a full face lift just working below chin? average cost? downtime?

Accepted Answer

Plastic: surgeon can give you a better idea of all your questions as he or she needs to look at you and determine how much work is needed

Question 3

i've lost over 30 pounds in the last few months because my thyroid meds have been regulated,  how do i tone my sagging skin? in my thighs and arms

Accepted Answer

Improving Skin Tone:  Skin is generally dynamic and can stretch and tighten if it hasn't been damaged.  Younger skin contracts best.  Thin skin with stretch marks not as much.  If there is not improvement in 2-3 months with healthy diet and exercise there are some options.  Ex. Exilis, needling, and some laser treatments that do not require surgery.  Surgical removal is also an option.

Question 4

why is my skin on neck and face turning dark?

Accepted Answer

Sun or other?: Sun exposure will hyperpigment the skin in sun exposed areas. There are also some medical conditions that can change skin color like addisons disease or acanthosis nigricans. See your doctor for an appropriate workup to determine the cause.

Question 5

Question 6

if i hit my head why is my neck hurting?

Question 9

what can cause facial, neck and head numbness?

Accepted Answer
