Submental W-plasty for correction of 'turkey gobbler' deformities
Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg.
1990 Jun.
Abstract
There are many causes and types of submental contour deformities. One such deformity called a turkey gobbler, is caused by an excess of flaccid submental skin and as an isolated defect is seen more commonly in men. We have found that skin excision and a running submental W-plasty for correction of this deformity yields a superior cosmetic result with excellent camouflage of the submental scar. Two cases are illustrated.
