Turkey Waddle or Saggy Neck? - Ralph Bashioum MD
Understanding Turkey Waddle and Saggy Neck
Are you struggling with a saggy neck, often referred to as a "turkey waddle"? Don't worry, you are not alone. Many people experience sagging skin and muscle laxity in the neck as they age. This condition can make you feel self-conscious and affect your self-esteem. However, there are solutions available to help you regain a more youthful appearance and boost your confidence.
Causes of Turkey Waddle
The sagging skin and muscle in the neck can be caused by a variety of factors. The natural aging process is a significant contributor to turkey waddle, as the skin loses its elasticity and collagen production decreases over time. Additionally, significant weight loss, genetics, and sun damage can also contribute to the development of a saggy neck.
Treatment Options
Luckily, there are several treatment options available to address turkey waddle and restore a more toned and youthful neck:
1. Neck Lift Surgery
One of the most effective and long-lasting solutions for saggy neck is neck lift surgery. During this procedure, excess skin and fat are removed, and underlying muscles are tightened to create a smoother and more youthful neck contour. Neck lift surgery can provide dramatic results, achieving a more defined jawline and eliminating the turkey waddle.
2. Non-Surgical Treatments
If you prefer a non-invasive approach, there are various non-surgical treatments that can help improve the appearance of a saggy neck:
- Injectable Fillers: Dermal fillers can be strategically injected to plump and lift the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging.
- BOTOX®: BOTOX® injections can relax the muscles in the neck and reduce the prominence of horizontal lines and wrinkles.
- Skin Tightening Procedures: Non-surgical skin tightening treatments such as radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy can stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.
3. Neck Exercises and Skincare
In addition to surgical and non-surgical options, incorporating neck exercises into your daily routine can help strengthen the neck muscles and improve the appearance of sagging. Furthermore, adopting a comprehensive skincare routine that includes moisturizers and serums specifically designed for the neck area can enhance the overall texture and elasticity of the skin.
