Men, women, and talk show hosts worldwide have long since taken to using colorful scarves, discreet neck kerchiefs, and turtle neck sweaters to disguise a blemish on their looks known as turkey neck. Excess skin due to recent weight loss, loosened muscles, and even the signs of aging all contribute to a sagging neck portion that looks unsightly and robs the sufferer from the joy and comfort of wearing low-cut clothing, summer clothes, or even regular sweaters. While winter clothes may help in disguising this condition, the onset of summer does little to allow this charade to continue, and if anything a discreet neck kerchief suddenly sticks out. Cosmetic surgery can help to alleviate turkey neck, and usually is the only option available. The latter is especially true if turkey neck syndrome is associated with the need to also correct a double chin and sagging jowls. So far many have shied away from actually taking any steps to correct this appearance since it required extensive surgery and a long recovery time. Fortunately, time has brought many new treatment options and with the advances made in the field of medicine, what once took almost a month to recover from, is now a procedure that may be accomplished in as little as a couple of hours and recovered from in as little as two to three weeks.

Mesotherapy is a gift of the French to our surgeons. Developed by Michel Pistor in 1952, it serves to inject substances directly under the skin to localize treatment. It is currently used in the treatment of cellulite, where it breaks down the blotchy appearance of the skin. When used in conjunction with cellulite removal, the injections will serve to treat poor blood circulation and engorged fat cells. As a result, the lumps and dimples caused by cellulite disappear to reveal smooth looking skin. Mesotherapy may also be the answer to aging, wrinkled skin.

Have you ever seen a picture of your facial profile? Do you like what you see? Some people have a chin that looks as if it disappears or recedes into their face and as a result, there is no symmetry.
