Turkey neck, sagging, jowling, and those pesky horizontal lines… the neck gives us so many things to complain about. 

Treatments like radiofrequency microneedling and CO2 laser resurfacing are great for boosting skin texture and tone, but they won't change the shape of your neck. Botox smooths out those neck bands, and fillers give your chin a bit more definition. 

But if you're dealing with more noticeable sagging, only surgery like a neck lift or lower face lift will give you more dramatic, longer-lasting results. 

Dr. Koehler and Kirstin dive into:

• Why non-surgical solutions that sound too good to be true might not be all they’re cracked up to be
• Recovery times for isolated neck lifts vs. full face and neck lifts
• Why choosing a skilled surgeon matters
• What causes neck sagging and how to prevent it
• Why neck lipo may not be the best option
