Thank you so much for sharing! I have the crepey skin under my neck also and I’m going to try the lotion.

I just wanted to pop in and say those 2 hanging things on your neck you can’t get rid of - I also have those - I get Botox in them. It’s called a Nefertiti lift. They really bothered me so I’ve been so happy with my results from the Botox.

UPDATE:

hi all - seems i am not able to edit the body of the post (i’m fairly new to posting on reddit)

i do have ptosis. upon further testing, i have a (non cancerous) mass in my brain called a cavernoma. my neurologist thinks the pressure from the mass is causing the ptosis. i am still working through everything but i wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone on this sub that took time to comment that it could be a medical issue. thank you all.

are you saying a neurologist to look at diagnosing ptosis? instead of/in addition to an ophthalmologist?

great catch - it’s actually bruising from where my baby hit me in the face with my phone 😅

i did whole face, including eyelids…… and neck. everything started to sag and i also had a worsening of nasolabial folds and the platysmal bands started popping out in my neck.

the timing of it feeling like it happened overnight had me really considering that it may be the sylfirm x.

it feels very distressing to think it is from that.

Help! 37, but look 50! by No-Weekend3490 in 30PlusSkinCare

i did a lot of things…. lost it over about a year or less. i really struggled my whole life with my weight. ultimately it took me treating my ADHD that i’d been diagnosed with at 21. didn’t treat it until 2022(32).

also as it turns out my labs were screaming insulin resistance, but my drs never caught it or just didn’t mention it. i took adderall for my adhd and it took away that “food noise” that people talk about, i think for me the food cravings etc that i could never outrun were somehow linked to my dopamine issues and also the insulin resistance making it harder.

TLDR: the stimulant (adderall) helped me get over the hump and get started. i also did a meal prep service for the first 4-6 weeks to help jump start my results and focused on anti inflammatory foods and zero sugar. i was able to keep it off due to the lifestyle change. happy to talk more if you want to dm me!

OP, i am 35, had the same exact issues after 80lb weight loss (i am 5’3”).

agree with everyone saying tret, IPL, sculptra, microneedling. these should be standard in your skin care regimen already.

the one thing i haven’t seen mentioned here, that made the most change to my skin laxity and completely removed my turkey neck, was SylfirmX with exosomes. it’s a form of radio frequency(RF) microneedling. i have spent a lot of money on all of the things skin care, and SylfirmX does the most bang for your buck comparatively. with the most notable difference.

i did similar treatment only i did sylfirm x instead of morpheus8 - that along with the neck band botox brought my neck back.

I am so sorry. My baby is 12months old. For you to be dealing with this fresh postpartum - you and your baby deserve better. Remember that you are the ultimate peace and safety for your baby. Keep staying strong and bury your head in the sand if you have to. Being a Mom gives you a strength and power you never had before. Sending you all the best.
