It can be reduced with surgery.
Or you can hide the turkey neck under a turtle-neck.

As Murrmurr said it could be done with surgery. Several people I know had it done. You got to find the right doctor, though, as most insurances will not pay for plastic surgery. However, the doctor they saw was very familiar with the Insurance, so he wrote it up so the insurance Co. paid 80%.
One was done as outpatient surgery in the hospital, the other two had it done in a sterile room in the doctor's office.

What about growing a beard? I have friend that has had a beard for 50 years or more.

Sure! That could work.
Wish I could grow one! I have a turkey neck too. Can't afford the surgery.

Beard maintenance can be involved and troublesome, plus it alters one's appearance considerably. My neighbor is only in his mid-fifties but has a beard half way down to his belly button. Makes him look older than he is, doesn't get ID'd for beer or cigarettes though.

Just don't go out in the woods during hunting season......
Or he could find a really-long mask.

I will hide the turkey neck under a turtle-neck at this time of the year because it's winter.
But, come spring, wattle you do?

On the plus side, Thanksgiving Turkey is only once a year.

Like age spots and graying hair, live with it. You earned it and make the best of it.

Exactly my solution. Did not have one ~50 years ago when I first grew the beard, and probably do now, but no one can see it!
The other reasonable solution, I think we all have a growing list of things we are getting used to. Course @charry doesn't have the beard option, LOL
So am I but if I stop plucking all those wild hairs on my chin and upper lip maybe in 20 years I too could have beard. OK, that is if I could live another 20 years.I was joking Nathan. I'm a woman

I really don't think they look awful, just age appropriate. I have never looked at a woman, or man and been distracted or put off by wrinkles, on the neck or anywhere else.
Just hope others don't mind mine.
