Frequently asked questions

What is "turkey neck"?

"Turkey neck" is the common lay term for sagging, loose skin under the chin and along the neck, often with visible vertical muscle banding — not a medical term. It's not a reference to medical tourism in the country Turkey; those are two entirely different searches, and this page is about the former.

How much does it cost to fix turkey neck?

Depends on cause and severity: if it's mostly excess fat, neck liposuction ($2,000–$7,000) may be enough. If it's loose skin and muscle banding, a combined lipo + platysmaplasty procedure ($6,000–$15,000) or a mini neck lift ($3,000–$16,000) is more appropriate. Use our main calculator to compare all the surgical options directly.

Are there non-surgical options for turkey neck?

Yes — Botox, dermal fillers, Kybella (a fat-dissolving injectable), and skin-tightening treatments like radiofrequency or laser can address mild cases, typically running a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per session, though results are temporary and require repeat treatments. Surgical options give a longer-lasting result for more significant skin laxity.

Is "turkey neck surgery in Turkey" a real thing people search for?

A small number of searches do combine the lay idiom with medical tourism to Turkey specifically, but this is a minor slice of overall search volume for the term. We don't cover Turkey-based medical tourism pricing on this site — see our financing page instead for how to manage cost domestically.
