Least down time for turkey neck

HI,

Turkey neck usually refers to excess skin and platysma muscle under the neck. Depending on the extent of the skin and muscle excess, you can be a candidate for a mini-facelift with 5 to 7 days of recovery. If you need some liposuction under the neck, this should not increase the downtime. Bruising takes the longest to resolve. Good cover up after 5 to 7 days should make it possible to return to non-strenuous activities.

Neck lifts have undergone a great step forward in the recent past. The recovery time is minimal.

Problem 1: Neck fat - treatment liposuction - recovery to return to work - 2 days

Problem 2: Sagging neck muscles that create the turkey gobblers - platysmaplasty - through a small incision under the chin the muscles are tightened. - recovery time - 2 days.

Problem 3: Excess skin under the neck - you have two choices:

• A small vertical incision under the chin (very difficult to see) can remove a large amount of excess skin. Recovery time 4 -5 days.
• Extended necklift - excess skin is pulled behind the ears - better results, bigger procedure - recovery time 7-10 days.
