Could a neck lift permanently fix this hereditary problem?

Question:

The males in my family have a genetic “turkey neck” that gets progressively worse with age. Could a neck lift permanently fix this hereditary problem?

Answer:

A neck lift would provide long term improvement of your aging neck. We would likely need to remove some fat of the neck, tighten the muscles of the neck, and remove some skin of the neck to give you the result that you are hoping for. No cosmetic surgical procedure is permanent but a necklift will fix your neck issues for quite some time.
