When having a second neck lift 10 years after the first, does the doctor typically tighten the platysma muscle again?

I want to have a second neck/lower face lift. My first was about 10 years ago and the doctor made an incision under my chin to sew the platysma muscle together. Is this step usual done again with a second neck lift?
