Turkey neck refers to loose and sagging skin on the neck and throat, often resembling a turkey wattle. Nearly everyone will experience this issue to an extent, but sun exposure, lifestyle choices, and aging can all exacerbate it. And, while there are multiple “treatments” for turkey neck, including creams and exercises, little can be done at home to address the problem.
Turkey neck may respond well to specific non-surgical treatments in some patients. Options available at our Houston office include:
Non-surgical treatments offer remarkable solutions for some patients and are always an option for turkey neck treatment. However, a surgical option will be more effective for individuals with significant skin sagging or a more pronounced wattle.
During your initial consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ravi Somayazula, we will help you determine the best option for your specific needs.
Non-surgical skin tightening can produce results for several months, but will not permanently correct turkey neck. On the other hand, surgical treatment can create results that last for ten years or more. Surgical treatment also ensures more significant and noticeable improvements in people with substantial amounts of loose or sagging neck skin.
The most effective surgical option for turkey neck is a neck lift. During this procedure, Dr. Ravi gently lifts sagging neck muscles before removing droopy, wrinkled skin to create a smooth and youthful appearance. Often performed on its own, neck lift can also be combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures to address multiple concerns during a single operation.
In addition to neck lift, neck liposuction may help treat turkey neck. Neck liposuction eliminates double chin, a condition that can create a pronounced wattle. In addition, removing excess fat from beneath the chin helps restore ideal contour and definition to the jawline.
