How Do I Get Rid of a Turkey Neck?

While lines and wrinkles can make you look older, many people find that their neck skin is the first area to show signs of aging. Because you constantly turn and move your head, your neck skin experiences constant tugging. Over time, you may develop drooping neck skin, often known as a turkey neck. Getting rid of this loose skin can restore the contours of your neckline.

How Do I Get Rid of a Turkey Neck?

If you are ready to get rid of loose neck skin and visible neck bands, Dr. Lanfranchi offers a procedure that targets these concerns. A neck lift tightens the skin, repairs the muscles that cause neck bands, and creates a more sculpted appearance. A neck lift at the Lanfranchi Center is typically part of the TLC Lift™ lower face and neck lift for more satisfying results. 

How Does a Neck Lift Work for Treating a Turkey Neck?

While a neck lift can be performed alone, most people who have a turkey neck also have concerns about drooping jowls or lower face laxity. As a result, a TLC Lift™ often provides better results. 

This procedure is performed using local anesthesia and a few small incisions. The technique used will depend on your needs, but in general, the TLC Lift™ restores the lower face to its more youthful appearance while tightening and shaping your neck. It may also include liposculpting if you have submental (under the chin) fat. 
You may be able to improve the contours of your lower face and neck even more with a stronger, more defined chin. Dr. Lanfranchi often combines chin augmentation with a neck lift.th acne scars, reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and treat the signs of youthful sun exposure. 

Are There Non-Surgical Ways to Get Rid of a Turkey Neck?

While mild skin laxity can sometimes be treated with non-surgical skin tightening, people with enough loose skin to have a turkey neck will need a surgical procedure to get rid of it. Surgery is also the only way to correct neck bands, which are separated platysmal muscles. The use of local anesthesia and refined techniques makes surgery an excellent option for most people. 

Am I a Good Candidate for a Neck Lift?

Loose skin around your neck can start at an earlier age than you expect. As a result, there is no ideal age for a neck lift. Good candidates want a tighter, more contoured neckline and are in generally good health. You should have realistic expectations and about a week to rest and recover. 

Most people who are candidates for a neck lift are excellent candidates for a TLC Lift™. However, we recommend a consultation so Dr. Lanfranchi can discuss your goals and design a treatment plan to achieve them.
