Bye-Bye, Turkey Neck: What Is The T-Z Plasty and Who Is It For?

Although there are multiple options available for rejuvenating the neck, Dr. Salazar considers the T-Z Plasty to be the ultimate weapon against the “turkey gobbler.”

Who are the best candidates?
Where are incisions and how will scars heal?
What will recovery be like?
