43 years old - will a platysmaplasty alone solve my saggy neck skin as well as bands? (Photos)

August 10, 2017
Asked By:sukipie in Baltimore, MD

Follow up question. It looks like I will need surgery. My neck does not match the rest of me at all. I don't have jowling or facial wrinkles. My problem is isolated to this one area. Will a platysmaplasty with the scar beneath the chin solve the sagging skin as well as the banding? Botox isn't helping. Is this surgery a significant cost difference than a mini-necklift with ear/hairline scars? Ballpark? I am willing to travel to finally solve this ongoing problem. Thank you in advance for your expertise.
