I feel my surgeon overtightened my neck lift in the center and laterally, especially on right side. I have severe tightness with choking feeling 11 mo post op and wonder if the platysma muscle was fixated to deep cervical fascia. After discussing multiple times with my double board certified PS, I have been told surgery was fine and not causing my symptoms. I disagree. Can the platysma muscle be released- cut to separate the front and release the sides? Any PS have experience w/this revision?
I've had these bands since I was a teenager, happens only when I smile. I'm wondering what procedure is best to reduce their appearance long-term (i.e., not Botox). Would a closed platysmaplasty be of any benefit? What type of platysmaplasty would you consider is best for this issue at a young age, considering the many different procedures (closed, corset, behind the ear, etc.). Which would give the best results, last long-term, and has less chance of reoccurrence?
I recently had a facelift and thought I was also getting a neck lift. However, I found out that I never had the procedure I thought I was having. I love my facelift results, but I have neck bands that are separating just under my chin and my general plastic surgeon said I should have a facial plastic surgeon do a corset platysmaplasty for me. I've found a surgeon I really like, but I can't help but wonder why my initial surgeon doesn't ever do the procedure. Is it super risky?
After revision necklift failed to fix contour deformity, I was referred to a top PS's who routinely performs resection of bulging digastric muscle which I confirmed is my problem. My current PS thinks corset platysmaplasty might also be needed. I'll see expert at 6-9 mos postop for eval, but hoped for input from RS dr's who've done it, what this can cost and how difficult recovery is. It's clear the deformity requires surgery and I'm hoping a conservative approach will yield good results.
7 month post corset plasty/trad. Neck lift. Had hematoma & seroma post sx day 1. Healed nicely. So see no connection. Growing tightness-sticky duct tape pull feel when turn neck. Feels like unremitting vice. Ps recs myofascial release tx. Primary MD instead recs PMR & Neuro. Can adhesions w/in the tissue layers occur? What would be non-visual physical symptoms of myofascial adhesions? What will myofascial therapy do for my intense tightness? Thank you.
Can I just get a Corset Platysmaplasty? Will that simply be a cut under the chin? What is the cost? How long is the down time? Most importantly, where can I go in Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota? I don't have loose skin just bad banding. I would get a lower face lift later in life.
Surgeon recommends corset platysmaplasty . Have choking phobia. Does post op tightness of corset platysmaplasty feel like choking? Is this procedure typically done under general or local anesthesia. Dr. Uses a CRNA and not MD anesthesiologist. Is this ok ?
I am 37 and I had a neck lift with lipo and corset platysmaplasty one year ago. I still have loose skin under my neck and can see the muscle banding under my chin. I was not happy with the results accept on my jaw line. The doctor said I had to wait a year to see full results and the muscles needed time to grow together. I have tried Viora radiofrequency and botox to help tighten the skin but the results were very temporary. What are my options?
