What’s the best course of action to treat my platysmal bands? (Photo)

Question

I am 52, I’ve been using Botox on my neck for the last 8 years to stop the platysmal bands from showing. The last time I went, I didn’t feel like they gave me any real difference. It’s been 1 month since the tox. My questions are: Is there something I can tell the injector to get a better result? Would I be a candidate for a mini neck lift? Can I just get a corset platysmal band procedure? Is there any doctor in Florida that performs the corset Platysmal band precedure?

Yes - you are ready for a necklift.  The corset platysmal procedure is done by a number of doctors in Florida. I do them here in Massachusetts, but can recommend Dr. Clevens in Melbourne Fl for that procedure.

-Consider a lower face and neck lift procedure with a corset platysma-plasty, and a myotomy of the actual platysmal bands themselves. It's also best to get  Botox placed in the platysmal bands about a week before the surgery so that the bands do not grow back together after the myotomy. A lower face and neck lift will accomplish tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial and neck muscles, lifting the jowls, and removing fat deposits in the neck with liposuction, in addition to the platysma plasty to significantly improve your jawline
