I don't want the scars in front of the ears. I'm 40. I believe my cheek area is in decent condition, where deep plane facelift is not really warranted yet. I had jawline lipo and didn't give me the definition I wanted. I think I have deep neck fat, maybe glands that need trimming. Is my hyoid high? I'd like to get deep plane necklift with incision under chin and behind ears. I keep reading from some surgeons, neck lift only does not work or last, just because SMAS is connected with platysma. If you are removing deeper structures that add bulk and tightening the platysma, it should last many years, despite not doing a facelift. I'm also considering maybe doing a ponytail facelift in conjunction with deep plane necklift, but concerned about raising of lateral canthus of eyes, potentially feminizing the eyes? I would do the deep plane face and neck, if it wasn't for that ridiculous scar in front of tragus, as a man, we are more prone to scarring, keloids, is unacceptable for a younger man and people will notice the scar even with makeup

Answer: Platysmaplasty (neck tuck) would be very helpful.
From your images, you appear to be an excellent candidate for a necklift surgery, in which excess skin is removed and the underlying muscles are adjusted to redefine your jaw angle.
You would look so much better with a lower face/neck lift under local. It is easy to undergo and with quick results. In just 2 days you can look so amazing with minimal to no bruising or swelling. Cost is roughly $20,000 for quality work. Get it done now and get yourself out of therapy!
Based off your photos - you could benefit from some chin liposuction and J plasma or some type of RFA treatment invasively to help with the skin. (I would do this and then see how you heal and if you are content no neck lift needed) Neck lift would be next option but that is also scarring behind...
