Not ready for a neck lift? Here’s the non-surgical way to fix your saggy neck
Q I’m 65 years old but look younger except for my sagging neck! What can I do?
a Seek advice from an honest doctor as there will come a point where non-surgical treatments can no longer help.
Additionally, some (including the one discussed here) rule out a neck lift for at least a year.
That said, cosmetic doctor Dr Sarah Tonks (thelovelyclinic.co.uk) is a big fan of the Aptos thread lift for premature neck prolapse.
“These particular wires are made of a very strong, flexible material,” she says.

‘They give a really good lift and dissolve over time, while visibly stimulating collagen production.’
Under local anesthesia, five barbed wires are injected into each side of the neck bone (surprisingly, it is not painful), and you will immediately see a tightening.
Afterwards, there may be some swelling or bruising for a week. She charges £2,195 for the procedure (outside London it will be less; email info@aptothreads.uk for the nearest clinic). Results last 18 to 24 months.
