Turkey Neck / Neck Fat

Refresh-Medispa-Cosmetic-Conditions-Neckfat

Turkey neck refers to the loose, wrinkled skin that develops beneath the chin and along the neck, resembling the appearance of a turkey’s wattle. Neck fat, on the other hand, refers to the excess fatty tissue that can accumulate in the neck area, resulting in a lack of definition and a less sculpted jawline.

The impact of turkey neck and neck fat on one’s appearance can often lead to feelings of self-consciousness and dissatisfaction with one’s overall look. These concerns can affect confidence levels and may influence how individuals perceive themselves in social and professional settings.

Common causes of turkey neck and neck fat

These concerns can be caused by various factors, including ageing, genetics, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle habits. As we age, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness, leading to sagging and wrinkling. Collagen and elastin start to break down, weakening the skin’s overall structure and reducing its ability to ‘bounce back’ to its original state. Additionally, fluctuations in weight can result in the accumulation of excess fat in the neck area, with weight loss following a prolonged period of weight gain resulting in stretched skin that sags around the neck area.

Genetics also play a role, as some individuals may be more prone to developing turkey neck or neck fat due to their genetic predisposition.
