Waddle Neck Removal Without Surgery
The turkey gobbler neck is created by loose skin, some fat, and muscle laxity, and, though the body fat can be reduced to none, the other two components remain. These two components can only be addressed with a neck lift.

Surgery needed to get rid of waddle under the chin
The waddle underneath the chin has 3 components that all must be addressed depending upon the patient’s age. These are skin, muscle, and fat. Fat is removed with liposuction. If there is excess muscle and laxity in cords, this is addressed through a platysmaplasty with or without a neck lift. Any excess skin is addressed through a facelift procedure.

Surgery Needed to Correct Neck Waddle
It is not possible to get "rid of a waddle under your chin" without surgery. There are a variety of surgical procedures that can do this singly or in combination and includes lifting, liposuction and fixing the bands of muscle that stretch the skin (platysmaplasty).

Laser-assisted liposuction (Smartlipo) can help with a "waddle"
Patients are often interested in "non-surgical" correction of a problem. There are really no good "non-surgical" options for correction of excess skin under the chin. Sometimes patients say they are looking for a "non-surgical" answer but they are really looking for something that can be done outside of the operating room. If that is the case for you then Smartlipo or laser-assisted liposuction may be a useful procedure for you. This technique allows for improvement...

Only some type of neck lift will clean up a double chin.
Hi.
Maybe you only need liposuction. But for sure you need some surgical procedure. Beware of gimmicks.

Is there a way to improve the "waddle" under the chin without surgery?
This is something that is best addressed with surgery, as there are really no effective non-surgical treatments for improving a "waddle" under the chin. Photos would really be necessary to give you the best advice, but I can make some recommendations on treatments that can improve the area. Depending on the age of the patient and elasticity of the skin, submental/jowl liposuction yields a great result. Depending on the patient's needs, the best overall result would be from a necklift, (with...

Getting rid of a Turkey neck
Without an examination, it would be hard to determine which procedure is best for you. Also, age plays a part in this. As we get older our skin doesn't bounce back after liposuction of the neck. You may need a face/neck lift. Discuss this with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to determine what is best for you.

How can I get rid of my turkey neck?
The waddle under the chin is usually caused by excess fat, sagging muscle, loose skin, or a combination of these. If the waddle under the chin is just excess fat, then lipocontouring of the neck can create very nice, natural improvement in the neck and jawline. If there is loose skin and platysma muscle you would likely benefit from a minimum of a neck lift and possibly a facelift. Unfortunately, there are very few non-surgical solutions for this problem. I would get a comprehensive...

Getting rid of the "Waddle" under the chin
If it is just fat causing the waddle under the chin, then liposuction does great for that for roughly $2500. If it is a little loose skin then a platysmaplasty with lipo procedure for $4500 is the answer and if it is a lot of loose skin then a lower face/neck lift for $8500 takes care of it easily. All these procedures are done under local anesthesia and make a dramatic improvement and are fairly easy to undergo. Sincerely,

Nonsurgical improvement of Waddle
It is difficult to give a specific recommendation without seeing a picture, but it is usually difficult to make significant improvements to the "waddle" without a surgical procedure. Typically a lower face and neck lift is needed to improve this area if there is significant excess skin and soft tissue. Occasionally, if the area is mainly fat below the chin and the skin is fairly tight, a nice result can be achieved with submental liposuction, which is a small procedure to...
