• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: This is the fastest way to tighten your neck.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: No more loose skin.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: You can be perfectly happy with your face and still hate your neck.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: You've probably already tried something for it.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_00: A cream, a device, exercises.
• 0:10
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it helped a little bit for a few weeks.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it did nothing at all.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: The neck isn't one layer.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's five layers stacked on top of each other, and almost everything sold for a loose neck only reaches the first one.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: If your heaviness is coming from layer three or four, you can spend years and a lot of money on the top layer and never touch what's actually pausing it.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Dr.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Dan Gould, the board certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills with a PhD in bioengineering.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: The neck is what I'm known for because I treat the deep neck and most surgeons don't.
• 0:35
  SPEAKER_00: By the end, you'll know which layer is making your neck heavy and what each one actually responds to, including the ones where the answer isn't what you want to hear.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: A neck is five layers, and you can't tell which one is the problem from the outside.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: Layer one is skin.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's what everybody thinks a loose neck is.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Layer two is the fat right underneath the skin.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's the layer that liposuction can reach.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: Layer three is the platisma, which is a thin sheet of muscle from your collarbone up to your jaw.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's what makes those vertical cords people see when they tense up.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Layer four is your submandibular glands.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: They make saliva.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: They sit up under the jawline, and in some people they hang low enough to show the soft fullness under the jaw.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_00: Layer five is the fat underneath the muscle.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's a completely different compartment from layer two, and nobody talks about it.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: Any one of those five may be the reason your neck looks heavy or loose, which is why so many people get treated for the wrong one.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_00: Most treatments only reach the top layer.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Creams work on the surface of the skin.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: Radio frequency and heat-based devices work on the skin and the layer right underneath it.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: And they do that pretty well.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: I use them in my own practice for the right patient.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: Exercises work the muscle, and the muscle is layer three.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: If your neck is loose only because your skin has lost its elasticity, a skin treatment is a reasonable answer and it can help you.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: Nothing you put on your skin reaches the gland under your jaw.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: No device tightens a muscle that's separated down the middle.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: No exercise will remove fat underneath the muscle.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's why so many people feel lied to about their neck because nobody really lied to them.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: They were just treated for layer one when their problem was layer four.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: You can check which layer is yours at home.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Just get a mirror and put your chin level, not tipped up.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: Pinch the skin under your jaw gently.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: A thin fold that stays where you put it is skin laxity, layer one.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Real substance in what you're pinching is fat.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's layer two.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Tilt your chin downward and toward your chest.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: If the fullness under your jaw mostly disappears, it's soft tissue and skin.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: If a rounded fullness stays there, that's often a gland.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: Glands don't move.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Clench your jaw off, pull the corners of your mouth down really hard.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: If you see two vertical cords that stand up in the middle of your neck, that's your platesma and it's separated.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Look at your jawline and profile.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Is there a clean edge from your ear to your chin?
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: Or does a line disappear halfway along?
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: The jawline is where all this shows up first.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: A clean jawline usually means the layers underneath are still sitting where they belong.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: If you want somebody to actually look at your neck and tell you which layer is doing it, that's what a consultation is for.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: My practice is in Beverly Hills, and there's a link in the description to reach out to us.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Each layer responds to something different.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: And some only respond to surgery.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: If it's skin and only skin, you have real non-surgical options.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I'd start there.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: That's the one place where the answer to can I avoid surgery is yes.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: If it's the fat above the muscle, that can sometimes be treated on its own.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: And for a younger neck with good skin, it works well.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: But removing fat from a neck whose skin won't shrink back leaves you looser than you started.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: If it's the muscle, the platism has to be repaired from the inside.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: There's no version of that from the outside.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: If it's the gland or the fat underneath the muscle, we're all the way in the deep neck, and that's an operation.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: No cream, no device, and no exercise reaches under a muscle.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: The two questions I get asked most and why most necks need more than one fix.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Number one, you don't have to do the whole face to fix the neck.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: Some people, usually younger, have a genuine neck problem and a face that's fine.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a smaller, more targeted operation for the deep neck.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: If you already had a face of someone else and your neck still isn't right, it's usually because the face was addressed and the layers under the neck muscle weren't.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: A second operation on the face won't help that.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Going underneath it in the neck will.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_00: Most necks are some skin, some fat, a bit of muscle separation, and sometimes a gland all at once.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: That's why treating one layer at a time leaves people thinking like nothing quite worked.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: When I do a neck, I'm working through all of it in one go, in a vector that runs almost straight up because everybody wants the same thing at the end of it, which is a jawline.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Good jawline means good surgery.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: If that line is clean, everything underneath it was put back where it belonged.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the decision you can make this week.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: If your neck is skin, go ahead and treat the skin.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: You don't need a surgeon for that.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I'd rather you spend the money there than with me.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_00: If the fullness stayed where your chin went down or the cord stood up when you clenched, stop buying things aimed at layer one.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: They can't reach where your problem lives.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: And every month you spend on them is a month you're not solving.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: If your neck went loose after you lost a ton of weight, that's its own situation.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: I made a whole video about what happens in the face and neck after a GLP one.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Watch that video next.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Your neck really isn't a skin problem that everybody keeps failing to fix.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's five layers, and yours is a specific one causing the trouble.
• 4:33
