What is Turkey Neck?

Turkey neck refers to the appearance of loose skin on the neck, often with vertical muscle bands or a build-up of fatty tissue under the chin. It is caused by a combination of factors including ageing, sun exposure, genetics, and loss of skin elasticity. As the platysma muscle weakens over time, saggy neck skin becomes more visible, affecting the smooth, defined look of the lower face and neckline.

This condition can make people appear older than they feel, and while it’s a natural part of ageing, it can be improved with highly effective surgical techniques designed to treat the underlying causes, not just the surface.

How Can Turkey Neck Be Treated?

Turkey neck can be treated effectively using a range of surgical procedures that target the underlying causes of loose skin, muscle laxity, and excess fat in the neck area. At Symmetry Clinic, we focus on advanced surgical techniques that provide long-lasting, natural-looking results tailored to your unique anatomy.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

  • Platysmaplasty – Tightening the platysma muscle to reduce visible vertical bands
  • Neck skin excision – Removing excess, sagging skin for a smoother contour
  • Fat removal or liposuction – Reducing fullness under the chin
  • Chin or jawline enhancement – Occasionally using implants to restore balance

These procedures are often combined to provide complete rejuvenation and may be performed alongside a facelift or eyelid surgery for a more harmonious result. Take a look at our before and after photos to see real patient results.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Turkey Neck Treatment?

Turkey neck treatment is suitable for both men and women who are concerned about sagging skin, muscle banding, or excess fat under the chin and along the neck. Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals who want to improve the appearance of their neck without looking overdone or unnatural.

You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have visible loose or saggy skin on the neck
  • Notice vertical bands caused by muscle laxity
  • Have a soft or undefined jawline
  • Are bothered by a double chin or fullness under the chin
  • Feel your neck makes you look older than you feel

Many candidates are in their 40s to 70s, but age is less important than skin quality, facial anatomy, and overall health. Whether you’re male or female, Mr Santdeep Paun will assess your suitability during a consultation and create a personalised treatment plan that aligns with your goals.

What is the Cost of Turkey Neck Surgery?

The cost of turkey neck surgery at Symmetry Clinic depends on the complexity of the procedure and whether it is performed alongside other treatments, such as a neck lift or facelift. 

All pricing is tailored to your specific needs and provided after your initial consultation and 3D facial imaging session, which is charged at £275. Your personalised quote will include all surgical, hospital, and anaesthetist fees, as well as pre- and post-operative appointments, follow-up care, and recovery planning. 

For patients travelling from outside London, optional concierge services are available. Flexible payment plans are also offered through our admitting hospitals.

What to Expect: From Consultation to Recovery

Your turkey neck treatment experience at Symmetry Clinic is designed to be smooth, professional, and fully supported from start to finish.

Consultation

You’ll meet with Mr Paun at either our Harley Street or Shard location to discuss your concerns, goals, and medical history. He will assess the degree of skin laxity, muscle involvement, and fat distribution to determine the best approach. You’ll also receive 3D imaging to help visualise your potential results.

Depending on your needs, he may recommend a standalone neck procedure or a combination with facelift surgery for optimal harmony.

Procedure

Turkey neck surgery is usually performed under general anaesthetic and takes approximately 2 to 3 hours. Incisions are placed discreetly behind the ears and sometimes under the chin. The procedure typically involves tightening of the platysma muscle (platysmaplasty), removal or repositioning of fat to reduce fullness, trimming and redraping of loose skin on the neck, and fine suturing to minimise visible scarring. In some cases, liposuction or chin implant surgery may be included to enhance the overall profile.

Recovery

Most patients return home the same day or stay overnight. Dressings are removed after 24–48 hours. Bruising and swelling are most noticeable during the first one to two weeks, with steady improvement over time.

Patients usually resume social activities and work within two to three weeks. Final results become more visible between three to six months as tissues fully settle. We offer structured aftercare with regular follow-ups and support throughout your recovery.

Results

Turkey neck treatment produces a visibly firmer and more refined neckline, with improved contour beneath the chin and along the jawline. As swelling subsides and healing progresses, your results will continue to improve, giving you a naturally refreshed and lifted appearance. Best of all, the improvements age gracefully with you, helping you look like a more rested, youthful version of yourself without looking overdone.
