What is the best easiest and least expensive way to fix a Turkey neck?

Neck lift is the only treatment for turkey neck unless its a lot of fat which can improve with kybella, thermage/ultherapy or a combination approach.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your decision to pursue an aesthetic procedure.  Correction possibilities include the full spectrum of surgical possibilities from minimally invasive Kybella injections to a full neck lift.  I would recommend seeing an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation.  They can discuss your best treatment options, as well as their costs and recovery time to offer you the best recommendation.  Hope this helps.

Hi Deb,Thank you for your question and since you haven't included photos, I'll keep my response general.  In my practice we use Ultherapy. There are other options that help optimize results, but people have been happy with the results.  There are various creams that soften the neck over time and you can use peels to augment the result.  The most dramatic results come from surgery, but make sure you see a plastic surgeon who is familiar with both surgical and nonsurgical options to evaluate you in person. Cheers,Dr. B

Thank you for your question! There are different conditions that lead to so called “Turkey neck”. If it is mostly consisted of fat, then Kybella would be a way to go, since it removes fat cells from your chin and neck area. Another option could be Mini Coolsculpting of the neck area. If it is loose skin and muscles, then Ultherapy, neck lift or liposuction might be needed. Sometimes when dealing with loose skin, surgical procedure is the best long-term method to get rid of the excess skin. If the problem is of combined nature, then combination of treatments could offer desired results. The price varies from the location and the provider, as well as your personal case. The price can range from few thousand dollars up to ten thousand dollars. Consult an expert to get en exam so you know what treatments would work for you so you can seek for least expensive provider who is sucesfull and experiences at what he or she does. Best of luck! 

Thank you for
your question Debi Curtin. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. Kybella works for those with excess fullness under the chin. For my patients with looks skin I recommend fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. Pricing varies from office to office. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Without photos, it is impossible to give you any kind of accurate recommendation. However, Kybella is a truly effective non surgical procedure for removing excess fat from under the chin. It does not, however, tighten loose skin. So, if skin and muscle laxity are your issue, you will probably be best served by a neck lift. My best advise would be for you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to be assessed in person. Hope this helps.

 By "turkey neck" patients usually mean their neck has laxity and is droopy.  This can be corrected surgically if severe, or via #Ultherapy if less severe, especially in those wanting to avoid the potential side effects and high cost of surgery.  If you also or rather have excess fat under the chin, you would want to have one or more treatments with #Kybella.  There is some intending of the skin with Kybella in addition to reducing the fat under the chin, so if you have fat and mild to moderate laxity, this would probably be the way for you to go go. Then, if you still see any laxity after Kybella, you can still have Ultherapy.  All the best,   Dr. Clark

I like to differentiate between a "turkey neck" and a "double chin". A turkey neck usually implies skin laxity and is common with aging. A double chin is usually associated with submental fullness or excess fat underneath the chin. The prior is usually best treated with a surgical procedure such as a neck lift although minimally invasive treatments such as ThermiRF, Ultherapy and Thermage maybe of some benefit. The latter (double chin) can be treated with Kybella, CoolSculpting CoolMini or liposuction. If you do have turkey neck, then I would probably suggest a plastic surgery consultation to discuss surgical and nonsurgical options.

Thank you for your question.  Without photos, it is difficult to give you any meaningful recommendations.  Mild to moderate loose skin with excess fatty tissue can be treated to some degree with nonsurgical treatments such as Kybella, Coolsculpting, and/or Ultherapy to name a few.  However, severe loose skin will require surgery.  To be sure, consult with one or more board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your options and how best to meet your goals.  Hope this helps. Best wishes!

The most common complaint facing patients is helping them test their turkey neck. It is a combination of Themage, injectable fillers Botox, Cool-mini, and Kybella. An in patient consultation is the only way to know what the best treatment is. Best, Dr. Green
