The aging neck undergoes multiple changes, including degenerative changes due to aging as well as actinic damage [1]. The hallmark features of an aging neck include platysma ptosis and banding, uneven ptosis of tissues and development of multiple horizontal rhytides. These changes may or may not be accompanied by bone resorption of the mandible which may exacerbate an ‘aged look’[2]. This development of a hypoplastic mentum and subsequent loss of definition of chin and jawline and may give the appearance of the characteristic “turkey neck” look.
