Only a third of my weight is gone and I'm seeing the dreaded turkey neck. (Getting old sux. However, it is better than the alternative.)

Does it ever "snap back" after age fifty? Any suggestions for me other than turtlenecks and scarves?

I'm 54 and was a little afraid of turkey-neck. I've lost 120 lbs and I now weigh 116 (I'm only 5' tall). I have a little pot belly, saggy baggy thighs, and bat-wings on my arms. I am very glad to say my neck is small and tight - no sag there at all! It's probably genetics but I'll take it! I could really do without the bat-wings, though - especially in the summer when everyone can see them! Lol

But you know what? It beats being fat! :-)

I'm 52 definitely a Turkey-terian. My neck was the very first place I saw sagginess post op. Oh well, everything else is much better than before. I have let my hair grow a little bit this summer and low and behold- a tight, neat ponytail or twist minimizes the neck situation a bit for me. At least I believe it does and that is half the battle!

I had the laser skin tightening on my neck and jaw area pre weight loss. At the time I didn't see much difference but my turkey wattle is pretty minimal so maybe it helped. Thinking of doing it again.
