Do stretch marks go away?
Some people have the tendency to have crepey skin on their necks and other areas. Some of it has to do with the subcutaneous and dermal volume, and how much it supports the skin. As we age, we tend to get crepier skin and thin people tend to see more crepiness. If you have skin that stays pinched after you pinch it, you’ll most likely have crepey skin there.
How long does a mini facelift last?
The length of time that a facelift lasts is different for everybody. Some people age more quickly than others, resulting in a facelift that doesn’t last as long. As a general rule, my facelifts last ten to twelve years, however, mini facelifts don’t tend to last as long. For that reason, I don’t typically do a lot of mini facelifts because I prefer the longevity that a facelift provides.
If you have questions about your facial skin, your neck skin, or the way you’re aging, I’d love to see you in my office. Schedule a virtual or in-person consultation, or just give me a call. I’ll respond to you.

uhhh you're wrong because I definitely have 2 very distinct stretch marks on my neck.

[@Sammy_08648]

On the back of your neck?

[@Fahim-il7wz]

Yeah I have terrible atrophic striae all over my body. One day I leaned back to lay down on a bench while working out and I got two horizontal stretch marks the size of a quarter on my (anterior) neck. I’ve been to so many doctors and no one has been able to help me. I can’t even workout anymore because anything I do causes my skin to develop deep stretch marks.
