A member asked:
Could use expert help with why people get a turkey neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck lift: Excess fat under the chin is a result of both weight gain and genetics. Too much weight gain will result in fat distribution everywhere on the body - some will deposit more in the chin area and other less depending on genetics. Younger patients can usually be treated with simple liposuction.
