Turkey Neck Procedure with Minimal Downtime?

Thank you for your question.  Surgical approach would be the only solution via neck lift and tightening procedure.  This involves the tightening of the platysma muscle, which will require a small incision under the chin away from direct view to gain access to the front edge of the muscles on the neck; the are sutured together with permanent stitches.  The excess skin is removed creating a smooth and contoured appearance.This procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic and does not require any drains or bandages.  This significantly reduces the downtime and recovery period.  Neck rejuvenation procedures are very common and our cosmetic surgeons will assess and advise you on what you may require to achieve the look you are after. Often the neck rejuvenation procedures can be combined with facelift surgery.  Please make sure you find a reputable and qualified plastic surgeon who can assess you properly to give you a realistic idea of what outcome you can achieve.  All The Best 

There are really no satisfying nonsurgical remedies for “turkey neck.” The loosening of the platysmal muscle with subsequent skin sagging respond best to a neck lift with platysma tightening. You will have a dressing for one week. You can return to unstrenuous activity at that time. Full recovery will take 1 to 2 weeks depending on your healing and the aggressiveness of the surgery. The results can last for up to 10 years. I hope this helps.

It is possible that you may be a candidate for what I have termed, "The Laser Assisted Weekend Necklift:" It is a minimally invasive procedure and the downtown is generally 2-3 days. Cervicofacial Liposculpture is first employed to contour the unfavorable fatty changes seen in the face and neck as time passes by, such as the ‘Turkey neck’ and ‘double chin’.Careful attention is then turned to tightening the neck muscles and eliminating neck bands. Finally, I employ laser technology to ‘resurface’ the underside of the neck skin, thereby ‘shrinkwrapping’ the skin of the neck restoring a youthful contour.A consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon will help determine which procedures will provide the best results for you.
