Depending on your current appearance and what look you want to achieve, different types of surgical procedures can be used.<\/p>\n

Talk to a certified cosmetic surgeon<\/a> to determine which type of procedure will work best for you. Read on to learn more on\u00a0how to get rid of turkey neck with surgery.<\/p>\n

Neck liposuction<\/h2>\n

\"Neck<\/p>\n

Neck liposuction is one of the simplest and quickest neck contouring procedures. It\u2019s usually performed under local anesthesia.<\/p>\n

Neck liposuction is used when the main cause of turkey neck is excess fat under the skin. The surgeon makes an incision behind the ears or under the chin and removes excess fat.<\/p>\n

This eliminates the appearance of a turkey neck and improves the overall facial appearance.<\/p>\n

Full recovery takes about 2 weeks with a chin strap required for the first 3-4 days.<\/p>\n

Because liposuction does not address loose skin, it\u2019s recommended for younger patients \u2013 20s to early 50s \u2013 whose skin is still elastic and can contract after the surgery.<\/p>\n

Neck lift surgery<\/h2>\n

For a turkey neck caused by loose skin or muscles around the neck, a neck lift surgery is the best procedure.<\/p>\n

The cosmetic surgeon will recommend either cervicoplasty, to get rid of loose skin, or platysmaplasty, to tighten neck muscles.<\/p>\n

Through incisions behind the ear, and sometimes also under the chin, the doctor tightens loose skin and muscles.<\/p>\n

As long as you don\u2019t have excess fat under the chin, this should reduce or eliminate the appearance of a turkey neck, giving your chin and neck better definition.<\/p>\n

It can also reduce or eliminate sagging jowls as well as wrinkles.<\/p>\n

Full recovery takes about two weeks with the most common side effects being some swelling and bruising.<\/p>\n

Combined neck and facial procedures<\/h2>\n

\"Combined<\/p>\n

Your doctor may recommend combining neck contouring with a facial procedure to create a more comprehensive and balanced look.<\/p>\n

The right facial procedure to complement a neck lift or liposuction depends on your needs<\/p>\n

Here are the common facial cosmetic surgeries that accompany neck surgery.<\/p>\n
