Why do my submental contours look abnormal after mini neck lift? (Photos)

Bash930Aug 6, 2023
I had a mini neck lift which included a platysmaplasty and lipo. Incisions were made behind the ears and under the jaw. I've noticed platysma bands, especially one, have become prominent.

What caused this and how can it be fixed

Yes, a mini necklift would involve performing a platysma-plasty to help improve those two platysma muscle cords located in your neck. To accomplish this, there's a small incision located underneath the chin crease. Alternatively you can also try Botox in the muscle cords first, and then if that...
