I had a Platysmaplasty almost 4 years ago and I still have neck pain, tightness, breathing issues and feel the back of my tongue pushing and blocking my upper airway since I had it. I can't reach the doctor that did my Platysmaplasty at the moment and I would like to know if it is possible to undo it.

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 have significant tightness under jaw and front of neck with the feeling of a cord or tight band choking me. The tightness is like a sqeezing sensation that varies in intensity. I still have numbness under jaw and top of neck. I have some sensation in my cheeks, but not back to normal. I have full sensation of ears and no pain in that area despite some keloid scaring that is improving. Will the awful numbness, tightness, squeezing, and choking sensations resolve? Very distressing at 9 mo post.
I want to improve my profile and would like to improve my jawline as my neck currently angles towards my chin. I also have a deep labiomental fold that I would like to reduce. My neck is fairly tight I can pinch a bit of skin so I don't know if a neck lift would fix this. When searching online it's typically people with more loose skin and fat. Please recommend any procedures that can correct this. I want to have a balanced profile so recommend other procedures that would help elsewhere
I am 58 and 6 years ago I had a deep plane facelift. Just recently, I have been getting a sensation of swelling or tightness under my chin and in front right and left sides of my neck. I did have the playtysmal band corset (?) done at the same time as my facelift. What can be causing this sensation? I realize it may not be the facelift , but I have no swelling of glands, had my thyroid checked etc. All fine. HELP I am 58, 5'4 109lbs. have not gained or lost any significant weight.
Near 2 years ago, I had midface/neck lift . My neck muscles are still intensely tight and strangles my neck from jaw to jaw. I have tried massages, acupuncture, chiropractor treatments but to no avail. The surgent is nonresponsive and his office doesn't return my calls. I am now working with another doctor who thinks I have bad internal scarring (possibly deep tissue) due to trauma endured during the procedure. Steroid shots were given but hasn't worked too well. Scared and need help.
This is a odd question but I need to have doctors from all over read this. I had a lower Face and neck lift 8mo ago.Still have neck tightness (yes, I know it can take a long time for nerves, etc. to heal). Looks great. No pain. All good. I am in So. Cal. When we visit AZ, I notice a HUGE improvement in the tightness and; strangled feeling. Has anybody heard of this? How do I reproduce this in CA? Can't move to AZ quite yet. We've had hi temps too so I don't think that's it.
In the spring i had chin reduction surgery. I wasn't aware that it would involve tightening the muscles under the chin so much. Currently the muscles are so tight i'm unable to hold my head up properly and spend most of my time laying down up to 16 hours a day. I'm unable to work and leave my house and i'm very scared. I went to see a doctor and he said there was nothing he could do. Can a revision help loosen the muscles? I'm very worried that i've ruined my life
62,5ft4,135. A neck lift and lower face lift done close to seven months ago. It was a 4 1/2 hour surgery and I was so excited but this is the outcome. I hate to look at this. Other areas that are of concern but I will focus just on the neck for now. The right side was so painfully tight not the skin but the actual muscle. I have a deep indentation behind my right ear. And some tugging still . The left side was slack. I know I will require a revision. This isnt what I expected. Board certified
