Loose neck skin is a natural, though unwelcome, consequence of ageing. It’s sometimes known by the unflattering name of ‘turkey neck’.
Common Causes
Neck muscles start to weaken and skin loses its elasticity with age which causes the neck skin to loosen and sag. Fat accumulation, abnormal thickening of specific muscles as well as droop of certain salivary glands all contribute to loss of definition of the contour of the jawline and neck.
What can I do about my loose neck skin?
Skin texture can be improved with radiofrequency tightening such as morpheus 8 burst. The combination of fractionated heat energy and microneedling stimulates collagen production thickening and tightening the skin.
An isolated a neck lift is the most effective method of addressing all parameters that contribute to an abnormal neck contour, namely tightening the skin, removing any excess fat, repositioning and tightening underlying muscles as well as addressing any gland malposition.
Furthermore, if there are also signs of facial ageing then a facelift would be more appropriate, allowing the neck and face to be addressed simultaneously.
