When fatty deposits occur in the neck area and when the patient's genetics result in a less defined chin-jaw line, then a condition popularly described as "turkey neck" occurs. Appearing to the eye as perhaps premature aging, this condition is being treated by plastic surgery in ways that bring significant relief and benefit to people who were simply "born that way".
The neck procedure, viewed at the practical surgical level, is actually a combination of face lift procedure and liposuction. Usually the surgery of the neck is reached though incisions around the ears and through small incisions under the chin. This placement of the incisions permits hiding the scars in facial details.
Skin is then pulled up and back and the excess skin is removed; and excessive fat is removed using a small cannula. This provides a new, more pleasing neck and jaw line..
