How to fix skin adhesions in neck after platysmaplasty?

September 3, 2015
Asked By:chessmom in Minneapolis, MN

I’ve had two platysmaplasties now; the second one was done to correct a cobra deformity from excessive removal of subplatysmal fat that happened after surgery # 1. After the second procedure, some areas of akin are now adhering directly to the muscle and scar tissue below, causing wrinkled and even eroded-looking areas. Can this be fixed without opening up the chin incision again? Please say this can be fixed.
