Understanding Changes to the Neck and Jawline
The appearance of the neck can change for several reasons, including:
- Natural ageing and changes in skin elasticity
- Changes in collagen and elastin
- Sun exposure and environmental factors
- Genetics and individual skin characteristics
- Weight fluctuations
- Localised fatty tissue beneath the chin
- Changes to skin texture and firmness
These factors can affect the neck in different ways.
For example, loose skin and localised fatty tissue are different concerns and may require different approaches.
Understanding the underlying cause is key to discussing suitable treatment options.
