How to treat vertical neck wrinkles? (turkey neck)

Surgery Editor Nick Posting update : 2021.04.20



Why do vertical wrinkles appear on the neck? One of the reasons why neck wrinkles appear is the aging process. With time, skin starts to lose its elasticity, becomes bulgy, and the fat layer becomes thin.


As a result, the vertical neck wrinkles appear starting below the chin going to the neck, and the vertical lines will look much thicker. Vertical wrinkles are also known as a turkey neck.





There are no other ways to improve neck wrinkles except for surgery. Other treatment alternatives can help prevent the appearance of wrinkles due to the aging process.


However, if the wrinkles are already there, the best option would be surgery. The surgery technique is that the plastic surgeon makes a horizontal incision under the chin and then sutures two-line muscles.


By this, two thick-line wrinkles disappear, and the neck becomes smooth.The doctor will delicately place stitches so that there are no visible surgery scars on the surgery site.


This surgery is exclusively effective for the vertical wrinkles on the neck. But if one wants to improve other wrinkles on the neck, then it is necessary to approach other surgery methods.
