I'm 31 and a year ago started to see 2 vertical lines forming under my chin. When I turn my head to the right, the band going from my chin to my clavicle area sticks out very prominently. Is this loose skin or muscle or both? I have seen one surgeon who suggests a chin implant and to cut or tie my platysma bands at the same time. He said not to do a facelift at this time. I'm looking for confirmation that this course of action will give me the best result or any advice on this issue. Thank you!
Answer: Platysmal bands at 31 Hands-down, no questions asked, before I did anything surgical I would absolutely try putting a neuromodulator like Botox or Dysport in your platysmal bands first. You are young, those bands are caused by hyperactive edges of a muscle, so immobilizing them usually causes them to relax. Your young skin has the laxative to then pull those relaxed bands right back up against your neck. It's a relatively inexpensive option, should be well under $200. If you were my wife/sister/best friend/whatever, this would absolutely be the place I would start. I'm not sure that a platysmaplasty would even be second on my list.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Best Neck Treatment For Skin Laxity And/Or Platysma Showing In Early 30s There are several non-surgical treatments that may help address your concern. Therefore, it would be best to consult with a board-certified surgeon in-person as you may have more than one option. During your consultation, the presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which will determine the options to #rejuvenate your neck. However, chin deficiency with the neck and jawline are also taken into consideration. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon to learn if you a are indeed an #candidate and also more about the #options available and which of those may be best for you.

Answer: Age for neck lift I agree that a chin implant is a good option for you now. It appears that you also have significant laxity of the platysmal bands in the neck. Normally I would recommend that you wait until you are older to have a neck lift, but it is probably the only procedure that will eliminate the bands in your neck. A limited platysmaplasty is unlikely to be as effective.

Answer: Neck treatment in 30's Hello. At 31, your'e still very young and doing a neck lift may be overly aggressive at this time. I don't think a chin implant will dramatically improve those bands. The bands you see are due to your platysma muscle. A much simpler option at this stage is to try botox. It's safe and can soften the bands enough to satisfy you. Take care.
