I’m 45 years old and am wondering what my options would be for trying to get rid of or lessen this turkey neck I seemed to have developed in the last year. It seems like the banding has gotten significantly worse in the past few months. It all depends on how I hold my head, either it looks like a double chin or a turkey gobble. What would be the best non-surgical and surgical options? I’d be happy with the way I look if the gobble was gone! Thanks so much!

Answer: Neck Skin Sagging / Platysmaplasty -- Necklift/Facelift, Lasers, Microneedling RF, Fillers, Renuvion, ThermiRF, FaceTite With significant neck sagging you would need a necklift / facelift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, lasers treatments (Fraxel, CO2, Erbium) or microneedling RF (Fractora, Intensif) can be performed to improve crepey skin or wrinkles. You need a formal consultation, as the neck can be treated with a combination approach: - Microneedling and laser treatments for texture - Botox, Dysport or Xeomin to help the Platysmal bands - Intensif or Fractora RF microneedling for crepey skin and lifting - Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, and/or Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds - Renuvion, ThermiRF, and/or InMode FaceTite for internal tightening - Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening - regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness - PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production See an expert for a full evaluation and treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals.

Answer: Necklift Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a neck lift. If good technique is used, this can be done with minimal scarring and can result in a natural look, not over-done look, with rejuvenation of your neck. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.
