Turkey neck remains after rhytidectomy 12 weeks ago - any input? (Photos)

You have a skin type that would probably allow a direct necklift and Z-plasty. This procedure allows the skin to be excised directly at the problem area. The z-plasty hides the incision well. In some cases, the incision can be further hidden using a CO2 laser a few months later.

I use 2 methods.
1. Thermitight to tighten it.
2. Excision of skin in the submentum (just below chin)
Sometimes both and that works.

You can’t always expect all the loose skin to be eliminated. There is a minor procedure called a “direct neck lift with z plasty.”That may be what your surgeon is referring to. Other than a little loose skin remaining you actually have a good result. Google that term I mentioned for pictures
