Turkey Neck Treatments: Here’s How To Take Years Off Your Face

Signs of aging are not only visible on your face but also on the neck. With time skin around the neck starts to lose its elasticity, and the muscles get weakened, leading to wrinkles or turkey neck. Needless to say, drooping and wrinkled skin draws attention and makes you look old. 

However, aging is not the only cause of turkey neck. Sun exposure, dry skin, and an unhealthy lifestyle also contribute to sagging skin. 

Luckily, you can try the following measures to tighten the skin and take years off your face! 

Cosmetic

You can try anti-aging creams and lotions to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Generally, these creams contain chemical glucosamine. It helps minimize the effect of hyperpigmentation and nourishes the skin to improve elasticity. 

In a study by the National Institute of Health, certain women showed improved neck appearances within 16 weeks. Those who used the cream twice a day showed even better and faster results. 

Surgeries 

If you want quick and effective results, it is wise to opt for surgical procedures. These procedures help tighten the sagging skin, thus giving you a youthful appearance. Traditional procedures usually include cutting, thus often leaving tiny scars. However, the new treatment methods, such as facelift by Dr. Jill L. Hessler, helps in smoothing the folds of the face and neck. It also helps in tightening the skin around the jowls. 

In addition to the facelift, you can opt for procedures like a neck lift, neck liposuction, MST operation, botox, skin tightening laser, anterior cervicoplasty, and more. These are the most common surgeries and medical procedures that help you achieve desired results. 

Nevertheless, before you make the final decision, it is essential to consult the surgeon. They can enlighten you about the procedures, their outcomes, and the risks of side effects (if any). They can also guide you about preparing yourself before the surgeries and after-care. So, make sure you get the proper information from the surgeon. 

Exercises

Even though surgeries can give you long-term results, you should learn about exercises to tighten neck muscles. Regular exercise helps in building muscle and improves blood circulation. Although, there are no specific facial and neck exercises that can help get rid of the turkey neck. Still, you can try a mix of different facial exercises. These will help eliminate excess skin and give your neck a tighter, more trim appearance. 

Commonly suggested facial exercises  you can try are as follows: 

• Forehead Push: Place your hand on your forehead and push your head against your hand. Hold the position for 10 seconds and repeat it 5 to 7 times. 
• Chew: Sit back straight and lift your head back. Keep your lips closed and make chewing motions. Repeat this 20 times a day. 
• Neck Lift: Lie on your bed with your head hanging over the edge. Carefully lift your head as high as possible using neck muscles. Repeat this 5 times. (Do not try this if you have neck pain)

Wrapping it all up!

It is inevitable to control aging; however, you can follow a healthy lifestyle to reverse the signs of aging. Aside from that, you can also try the measures mentioned above to treat turkey neck and look young.
