How Do You Get Rid of a Sagging Neck?
As we age, one common concern that tends to sneak up on us is the appearance of a sagging neck. This issue, often referred to as “turkey neck,” can be a frustrating sign of aging and result from several factors, including loss of skin elasticity, decreased muscle tone, and the thinning of the skin. Exposure to the sun and genetics also play significant roles. Thankfully, there are solutions for addressing sagging neck skin and achieving an enhanced appearance.
Among the most effective procedures for a sagging neck is a facelift, which can include lifting techniques that address the neck, as well. Also known as a rhytidectomy, a facelift can address common cosmetic concerns such as jowls along the jawline, facial wrinkles in the lower one-third of the face, and to some extent horizontal neck bands when neck lift techniques are utilized. This can help tighten the underlying neck muscles and remove sagging, excess skin to give the neck a more youthful and contoured look.
