How Do I Get Rid Of My Turkey Neck at 78 Years Old?

Q: Dr. Eppley, How Do I get of my “turkey neck”. I am a male 78 years old.

A:Thank you for your inquiry and sending your picture. What you are describing is a direct necklift through excision of the turkey neck which can be done in various geometric patterns. Older males choose this option, as opposed to a traditional lower face – neck lift, for a variety of reasons including the desire to avoid hey more invasive and lengthy surgery as well as putting scars in and around the ears. While I direct necklace does put the scar in a more visible location in men due to beard skin that midline neck scar generally heals favorably.
