The aging neck undergoes multiple changes, including degenerativechanges due to aging as well as actinic damage [1]. The hallmarkfeatures of an aging neck include platysma ptosis and banding,uneven ptosis of tissues and development of multiple horizontalrhytides. These changes may or may not be accompanied by boneresorption of the mandible which may exacerbate an ‘aged look’[2].This development of a hypoplastic mentum and subsequent loss ofdefinition of chin and jawline and may give the appearance of thecharacteristic “turkey neck” look.
