Page 2 | How old is my neck??

I've noticed some changes, so please be honest!

It’s a shame there isn’t really any non surgical treatment that makes a significant difference. The OP might be a candidate for RF, as there’s only a little looseness, but after 60, it’s surgery I’m afraid!

I'm 70 and two RF treatments have made a big difference to my neck. It is still an old neck which is to be expected but it is a decent neck for 70.

Here is my neck. I'm in my 60s.

Anotherparkingthread · 17/05/2024 16:55

Hey op I'm 36 and after weight loss my neck looked similar. Maybe not quite as pronounced. Anyway I started taking collogen supplement and it went away!

You could try retinol as well.

zingally · 17/05/2024 16:54

Looks similar to mine... Late 30s, early 40s?

It is a thin piece of skin pulling down from middle of my jaw towards neck, straight on, it looks like 3 lines if that makes sense. It appeared quickly. Can it be reversed? I don't know if weight makes a difference.

It’s your neck muscle. You could try exercises, thousands online, but you have to do them religiously!

Thank you op, I can tell you are struggling. Do take heart from the nice and accurate comments on here and ignore the ridiculous suggestions.
I met someone recently who looked amazing and said it was no alcohol, good sleep and water - she honestly looked half her age. She was adamant though that she worked at it.

I think your friend must have had “help”

Bignanna · 17/05/2024 16:48

It’s when your neck looks like a vagina you have something to worry about!

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 17/05/2024 16:47

This is mine at 55. It's pretty segmented now - still on the hunt for the elusive neck cream that will work miracles...

@cardibach that's really not bad at all! Your neck is lovely.

Ta. I have good genes, wrinkling wise…

Yours looks younger than mine and I am 33. My face doesn't always look 33. People say I look younger than my younger brother, but I think my neck gives me away.

treatsortreating · 17/05/2024 16:17

I would have said 25-35 OP.... for you

treatsortreating · 17/05/2024 16:16

Can someone guess mine please?

cardibach · 17/05/2024 16:16

59 year old neck with significant weight loss.

Thank you for being so kind. It is the middle under my chin, it pulls down, I can feel it pull abit. This has happened so quickly.

@AROUNDagainCrazy I have this! It appeared suddenly too. I’m mid 30s. I’ve asked many people if they’ve noticed and some very close and honest friends say they haven’t. I also wouldn’t have noticed it had I not been looking at your photo in detail. It’s also quite normal anyway. You have great skin too.

AROUNDagainCrazy · 17/05/2024 10:06

@SherlockHomies you are completely right. I just feel paranoid about it and would rather know, even if it is unfavourable. I think if it had happened over the space of 5 years gradually, I could deal with it better. It has gone like this within months, after a very stressful event.

Gone like what? It’s a perfectly fine, smooth neck. What are you seeing that you don’t like?

Didimum · 17/05/2024 16:09

You have to accept ageing, OP. Can you focus instead on changing your mentality rather than hyper focusing on your neck?

Miyagi99 · 17/05/2024 15:56

Just be glad you can see it, mine is starting to be hidden by my chins 😂

Newestname002 · 17/05/2024 15:25

At the risk of sounding weird, I think you have a lovely neck. I've gone from two or three rolls of fat around my neck to looking a little like a tortoise in the neck area over the last few decades as I've lost weight.

Mine's looking good at the moment but that could, at least partially, be because I'm wearing a thick woollen scarf to ease the pain my shoulder.. still a little massage, upwards from your chest with a little hyaluronic acid won't hurt. 🌹

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor I wish I could! Maybe I'll get there I time. The saggy middle bit has happened in under a year, can stress do this?! I don't know what has happened, but feel I have aged over night.

I understand. I think everyone is looking and seeing no rings, no wrinkles so it looks great. I knew straight away the bit that worried you and I remember that feeling and it has got worse but then I'm 70 now so it has served me well.

It is years since I first had that sinking feeling seeing that sag in the middle. Yours is still mild I'd say but the only thing that helped me was a radio frequency treatment for loose skin, well it was two treatments and mine now doesn't look bad for a 70 year old although worse than yours.

My neck is the most aged bit of me. Bloody thing.
They were right!
I don't mind, it's who I am. I don't wear polo necks to hide it in the winter, but it is a bonus.

LordPercyPercy · 17/05/2024 13:56

Ah it's just the neck hinge! Thats what I call mine anyway, it appeared around mid-thirties I think. Perfectly normal although like you I wasn't thrilled to welcome it at the time, but honestly yours is barely noticable and your neck is lovely and smooth with great skin texture.

AROUNDagainCrazy · 17/05/2024 11:32

😂 just a sagging bit of skin pulling down from the centre of my chin. Honestly I cannot believe how unappreciating of my skin I was when I was younger!

Then appreciate it now! Honestly, there is nothing ‘ageing’ about your neck in those photos.

And believe me, if you are 39 now and upset, when you are 50 you will be distraught.

The way your neck changes in a couple of years around 50 is astounding. There is little you can do about it, short of a neck lift, and that’s a lot of money you could spend on a fabulous experience or pay off your mortgage.

I swear mine started to sag over about a month at 51. The rest of my face is still perfectly taut, and my neck gets the same moisturiser and Tret as the rest.

Please try not to obsess over it; life’s too short.

mcmooberry · 17/05/2024 12:57

I thought 40 only because you were asking but thought could be anywhere from 25 upwards, it looks fine to me.
