Platysmaplasty and long-term shortness of breath

August 21, 2022
Asked By:Applex3 in Los Angeles, California

Hello, I had a platysmaplasty around 2 years ago and I have been having issues with shortness of breath and unusual heartbeats since then. I had check ups with a pulmologist and a cardiologist and both say everything seems fine, however I still feel this permanent shortness of breath and fatigue even when sitting down or laying in bed. Could the platysmaplasty that I had be the cause of this? and if so how? Thank you for your time.
