Turkey neck. Saggy jowls. Double chin. Waddle. No matter what you call it – it’s an unwelcome reminder that gravity packs a powerful punch. As you age, skin on your neck starts to lose its elasticity because of a combination of gravity and genetics. And because the skin on our necks is more delicate and thinner than facial skin, it loses elasticity faster. So even if you’ve spent thousands of dollars on keeping your face young, the sagging skin under your chin still announces to the world that you’re not getting any younger.

Traditionally the only way to fix the problem was an overall face lift. Luckily for those who don’t want to undergo the knife, recent advances in minimally invasive procedures offer new ways to turn the clock back on those Shar Pei-like folds.

· BOTOX® Cosmetic can be used to relax the muscles in your neck, which reduces the horizontal lines and the vertical 'strappy' look.

· SmartXide DOT ®, a CO2 laser skin resurfacing technology, directs thousands of tiny bursts of energy that heat the collagen layer, stimulating new growth and reversing the appearance of skin laxity and texture.

· SmartLipo™ uses a carefully calibrated laser to liquefy fat deposits through the top layers of the patient's skin. As the fat is removed through a small cannula, the laser energy also interacts with the dermis resulting in collagen shrinkage.

· Thermage® uses a unique radiofrequency (RF) technology to tighten the early stages of sagging skin and subcutaneous tissues around the neck and sides of the face to create a sharper jawline.

Your neck definitely tells your true age—and sometimes can make you look older than you really are. Never fear—don’t let sagging skin get you down. There are many options to choose from to make the skin under your chin smoother, tighter and more beautiful. The only turkey neck your friends will see after your treatment will be on Thanksgiving!
