I'm 63. I have two vertical bands down the middle of my neck, however they are clearly loose skin and not the muscle protruding. This is NOT from weight loss, just laxity from age. I plan to get a deep plane neck/face lift, however I've heard too many problems with platysmaplasty, Longterm choking effect, as well as the fact that the bands can return within a year or so. If it's purely loose skin is it possible to just excise that instead of a platysmaplasty?
What would you recommend? I am extremely self-consciously as it is very noticible. I thought a neck lift would be enough but now I'm thinking not. I don't really want to mess with my whole face, particularly with very tight uplifted cheeks that will make me look like a cat.. any suggestions? I can't find many photos on this site that are as ugly as mine. Thanks for any suggestions you might have.
There's probably a better term for this, but I hate having those those vertical muscles (maybe tendons or ligaments) in my neck, but a deep canyon between them. I've never read about any way to help those. I see lots of beautiful women who've had surgery, but the neck!
I've had a platysmaplasty to address the vertical bands protruding in my neck, however, 6 months later, I have identical vertical lines protruding that appear to be either the same ones, or new ones right next to the previous ones. Is that possible?
2 years plus after a liposuction necklift, and an infection under my chin in the incision and repair of same, I am suddenly developing these verticle bands that are very visible. What can I do. The surgeon seems reluctant to do anything.
3wks post op from neck lift and I have alot of vertical wrinkling of skin from the incision under chin.I had incisions around the ears as well. They are healing fine but this patch of wrinkly skin looks really bad. PC suggests massage and will be getting 3 blue light therapy sessions. Normal?
