Which layer of your neck has changed?
An assessment begins by naming the finding rather than the treatment: how much is skin, how much is fat, whether the muscle bands, and how your skin heals. We will say plainly what each option would change in your neck, what it would leave exactly as it is, and what we would advise if neither were the right answer for you.
