Platysmaplasty is the operation thatinvolves the treatment of the Platysma muscle that normally creates the bandsin your neck. The submental lipoplastyis removing the fat located in your neck.
A platysmaplasty is the tightening of the platysma muscle.The platysma muscle is what causes the banding in your neck as you age (turkey wattle). There are layers of fat that lie over and under the muscle, so during a a neck lift, the platysma muscle is tightened (platysmaplasty) from an incision under the chin (in a natural crease), and liposuction is performed in the same area to remove the fat. This combination of procedures is excellent to improve the neck contour and profile. It can be performed in conjunction with a facelift or on its own.
