When considering your appearance, your eyes, cheeks, and mouth may often take priority, but your neck is also a place that should get some attention. While concealer and makeup may help hide facial skin irregularities, it is very difficult to hide excess neck skin and fat.
There are surgical options available to help fix the “turkey neck” you may be experiencing. Double board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew H. Steele and his experienced team are available to help you achieve your ideal neck contour and improve your self confidence.
Understanding “Turkey Neck”
“Turkey neck” refers to the appearance of your neck when you have excessively saggy skin (that some people may compare to a turkey waddle), which may occur as part of your natural aging process or after excessive weight loss. This excess neck skin can often make you feel self-conscious about your appearance, as it is more difficult to hide compared to excess abdominal or arm skin. Fortunately, there is a solution involving facial plastic surgery.
Addressing Turkey Neck With a Surgical Neck Lift
The best surgical option for addressing your sagging skin is a neck lift, which is often performed as part of a facelift. A neck lift will rejuvenate your neck and jawline by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying muscles. It can also remove unwanted fat and muscle bands that contribute to the turkey neck appearance.
The neck is one of the first regions of the body to show signs of aging, and by targeting those signs early, you can maintain your improved appearance for a longer time. By utilizing the skills and techniques he has developed over the years, Dr. Steele will help you feel confident in your appearance again.
