In a quandary! I am going to have a lower facelift. I have consulted with two surgeons and done a fair amount of research and I am getting conflicting information regarding platysmaplasty. I am 59, this will be my first procedure and I would like to do it right! Thank you

Answer: Platysmaplasty or Not? In my experience, a platysmaplasty is invariably necessary for patients at age 59 in order to maximize quality and longevity of results. Although there are exceptions, laterally based facelifts without an anterior platysmaplasty are usually reserved for patients in their late 40's, early 50's. A consultation would be best in order to determine what is best for you. Good luck!

Answer: Neck age 55-65 Thank you for your question. That is and important question and I believe everybody need to ask. In my practice I always include the Platysma muscle as a part of the treatment of the lower face because I see it as a one unit but the treatment of the platysma muscle (paltysmaplasty) can vary according to the patient.
