Dr. Anthony Yoon, you are America's number one holistic plastic surgeon, and you're dedicated to helping people look and feel amazing from the inside out. That's what's unique about you. Today, we have you back on the podcast to discuss and address some of the top questions we've had since your first appearance that went viral that have come in from our audience.
So number one, thank you for being here. And number two, if you're okay with it, we're just gonna jump right in. Let's do it. You've got questions, I've got answers. All right, let's go to the first one. This is probably one of the biggest topics for people in our audience that are around the 45 and 50 plus age range.
And it's around the idea of are there any natural solutions, best practices, lifestyle habits that can be incorporated to reduce the risk or the purveyance of turkey neck, the sagging area around the neck that starts to develop, especially as we age.
So there are definitely things you can do to help prevent it. Now, I'll tell you, Drew, unless you are really in the 0.1% of people who they hit the age of 60 and they still have a nice tight neckline, it is just genetics. It's gravity.
It's the fact that you're alive and what happens to the collagen of your skin that pretty much everybody, once you hit the age of 60, has got some type of looseness of their neck skin. Now, in some people, that happens much earlier, often due to lifestyle and genetics. And other people, yeah, I have seen some of my patients where at the age of 60, they still have fairly tight neck skin.
But for the vast majority of people, when you hit your mid-50s or so, you start really noticing that skin starting to loosen. And so the way I look at it is there are kind of three levels of treatment for it. The first one is going to be prevention. The second one is how do you treat it when it's fairly mild?
And then the third one is when you have a true turkey neck, which is what you described for me, there's different things to treat that for. And what we don't ever wanna do, especially for me as a plastic surgeon, is to give people false hope that, oh, you know, if you are 75 and you got loose skin hanging from your neck, oh, just eat this food and that skin's gonna magically tighten up.
You know, physically, that's just not possible, but there are definitely things to do. And so what I would start with is the younger age group. Let's say you're in your 30s, you're in your 40s. Overall, the neck skin is still nice and tight. You don't have that turkey neck. What can you do to help prevent that from happening? Well, it's going to be looking at the reason why our skin ages.
And five things is what I typically focus on is nutrient depletion. collagen degradation, oxidation or free radicals, chronic inflammation, and a buildup of cellular waste. And so one of the things you can do, and we talked about this on the last podcast, is eating a diet that is going to basically counteract those signs of aging.
