A common side effect of getting older is developing loose skin on the neck. Sometimes referred to as ‘turkey neck’, it involves having sagging, wrinkled skin on the neck and below the chin. Most people with loose skin on the neck will have it as a result of ageing, and it is an entirely natural effect of getting older.
Loose skin on the neck is caused by the muscles around the neck and face weakening over time and gradually losing volume and fullness. In addition to this, the skin also loses its elasticity and firmness over time. This affects the skins ability to stay tight or stretch and return as it used to. Ageing causes the skin to reduce its collagen and elastin levels which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin, such as loose skin on neck.
One other reason for loose skin on the neck is weight loss. If the area around the face and neck used to be larger and then weight has been lost relatively quickly, it can result in excess skin around the neck. Whatever the cause for loose skin on the neck, it can leave men and women feeling self-conscious and unhappy with their appearance.
