Concern
Turkey neck and neck bands in Seoul, Korea
“Turkey neck” is loose neck skin with vertical bands, caused by weakening of the platysma muscle and skin. Because this muscle continues from the SMAS of the face, the most reliable treatment is a deep plane face and neck lift. Fat under the chin can be removed at the same time with neck liposuction or Acculift.
Three causes, three solutions
| Cause | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Excess fat | Neck liposuction or Acculift |
| Loose skin | Neck lift with the facelift |
| Muscle bands | Platysma tightening during a deep plane face-neck lift |
