due to weight loss laxity and crepe-iness under my chin an on my neck I intend to have a full surgical neck lift but am currently reloosing some gained weight first. I am finding the neck very hard to live with and am considering going for some sort of high energy technique in the interim but I seem to remember Alice talked somewhere about some surgeons disliking eg ultherapy before a neck lift because it ‘mashes the skin together’ etc. are their any lifting Tweakments that don’t do this? For example Alice seemed very pleased with her results with the Profound RF treatment with Dr Shotter – does this method cause similar issues though? how serious is the trade off – would it make the neck lift significantly less good?

Hi, you’re right, cosmetic surgeons dislike patients having energy-based treatments (eg ultrasound, or RF needling) in the year or two before surgery because the way the treatment contracts and tightens up the collagen makes it trickier for them to do their job when it comes to separating the layers of the face or neck. Check this with your surgeon, but I’d hold off and wait for the surgery. I hear that you are finding your neck hard to live with but if you are looking at a surgical neck lift, you will find RF needling doesn’t give you the result you are looking for.
