Neck Laxity

August 5, 2024

Have you noticed loose or sagging skin around your neck? This common issue, known as neck laxity, can develop with age and often creates an older, tired appearance.

As the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, it can significantly impact the overall aesthetics of the neck and jawline.

Exploring treatment options for neck laxity is essential for those wanting to rejuvenate their appearance and achieve a more youthful, refined look.

What’s Neck Laxity

Neck laxity, commonly known as “turkey neck”, refers to the loose, saggy, and wrinkled skin below the neck.

As we age, the muscles in the neck weaken and the skin surrounding it (and all over the body) loses its elasticity and firmness.

What Causes Neck Laxity?

Turkey neck is a natural part of the ageing process. However, its formation can be sped up by certain factors.

Some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing neck laxity earlier in life.
Significant weight gain and loss can stretch the skin, leading to laxity when the skin fails to retract.
Prolonged exposure to the sun can damage the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the ageing process.
Poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can contribute to weakened skin and muscles in the neck.

The Impact of Neck Laxity

Neck laxity can affect both your appearance and self-confidence. It can:

Make you look older. Loose, sagging skin can add years to your appearance.
Alter facial contours. Neck laxity can affect the sharpness of your jawline and the smoothness of your neck.
affect self-confidence. Many people feel self-conscious about their neck laxity, impacting their overall confidence.

Neck and Face Lift Surgery: A Comprehensive Solution

For people facing neck sagging, neck and facelift surgery offers a highly effective solution.

These procedures can rejuvenate your appearance, accentuate your natural beauty and restore your self-confidence.

Understanding Face and Neck Lift Procedures

A facelift is a surgical procedure to reduce the visible signs of ageing by removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues and repositioning the skin of the face and neck, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. Neck lift, on the other hand, aims to achieve an improved neck appearance by removing excess skin and fat, tightening muscles and improving the contours of the neck and jawline. These procedures together can effectively rejuvenate the face and neck, restoring a more youthful, defined appearance.
