What are good Neck Firming Options

I have sagging neck skin ("turkey neck"). What are good surgical and non-surgical options to firm sagging nec skin?

Neck firming fixes

Thanks for your question. As we get older a number of factors can change the contour of the neck and jaw line. These include weight gain (and loss!), weakening of the supporting structures and loss of skin elasticity. This can cause the the "turkey neck" type description you mention. The things to consider when looking to correction include: • Amount of fat • Quality of skin • Skin laxity • Position of the platysma muscle A neck lift and platsymaplasty can be performed with or without submental liposuction to address all of the above problems. Beware of marketing efforts that claim remarkable results without surgery. Generally in the case of excess skin or poor quality skin (skin without adequate elasticity) you will need more than laser or RF tightening. Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.
