Because the neck tends to reveal your age more clearly—and age faster—than your face, it is a key area to address when talking about facial aging.
Some people catch the early signs, like skin texture changes, and horizontal lines across the neck. For these concerns, skin treatments, like chemical peels, energy treatments for skin and dermal stimulating filler treatments can help. For minimal sagging or excess fat is approached with liposuction, or muscle tightening through small incisions. As skin laxity worsens, energy-based lifting treatments come into play.
But once you reach the point where there’s noticeable sagging or that “turkey neck” look, surgery is needed for real improvement.
The neck is just as visible as the face, so it’s crucial to include it in any rejuvenation plan. Don’t focus only on the face and neglect the neck—it’s on display every day, too.
Find out why the neck is so tricky to treat, how to pick the right surgeon for a neck lift, and why it’s often paired with a face lift. Learn what causes neck aging and how to prevent it and treat it.
