I am a 40 yr old female with a "turkey neck" that I want to get rid of. I am not interested in multiple procedures (shots, etc) but really do not want general anesthesia. I am not overweight (size 6) and do not smoke, drink, or take drugs. I previously listed this question, but was asked to add front facing pictures.

Answer: Turkey neck I wouldn't call your neck a turkey neck. You do have some skin laxity. You might also have some fatty tissue. An exam is required to tell for sure and to discuss realistic options. Some surgical and nonsurgical options do exist for this condition Be sure to discuss with your own surgeon about how this applies to you, and whether they have any special concerns in your case.

Answer: Submental fullness In your early 40's, you likely have enough elasticity in the skin to do well with a less invasive procedure. Based on the photos, I see some submental fat but not a lot of loose skin/muscle. This can be treated with Kybella injections or liposuction.

Answer: How to get rid of turkey neck A neck lift with the addition of conservative chin enhancement will provide you with the best improvement and most longevity. We perform these procedures routinely under sedative anesthesia; other plastic surgeons use general anesthesia - mainly a matter of surgeon's preference.

Answer: How to treat a hanging neck There are some great options for this. Some people choose to have liposuction followed by a skin tightening procedure. Other options include a surgical neck lift, which has the most dramatic results. However, the downside is that you have more downtime. James Bonaparte, MD, MSc, FRCSC
