How does it happen?

As one starts getting old, the skin starts to lose it form, often getting collected at a place. Thus, aging is one of the many reasons of a turkey neck. The other reasons can be extreme fluctuations in the weight of a person. Genetics can be another reason too.

Causes of turkey neck?
  1. There are some people who develop excess fat around the chin and neck due to genetics. If someone has already had a turkey neck in your family, there is a slight chance of you developing it too.
  2. Then comes the natural process of aging in which the angle of the chin starts changing.
  3. Extreme weight loss, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle could also be a reason.

When the skin starts to lose its elasticity and starts developing platysmal bands (thin bands of muscles located in the neck), turkey neck situation arises. As one age, these bands become more prominent and an enhanced turkey neck becomes visible.

When does it start appearing?

In case of genetic, mostly in the late 20s. However, most women notice turkey necks in their mid-40s and later.

How to treat turkey neck?

A turkey neck can be treated either naturally or through surgeries. Botox injections are another way but expensive. But as we know, prevention is better than cure, start noticing your skin. If there are early signs of aging and development of the fine line, take care of it. Several creams are available which help reduce these fine lines and also tightens the skin.

The second tip would be to not be careless when you apply any face pack and leave it for hours or continue to have face movements. Moisturizing the neck is equally important.
