Mid-Thirties, neck bands: would submentoplasty work? Do I have to worry abount bunching? How long will the results last? (Photo)

Asked By:Me_Me_Me_ in Colorado Springs, CO

I'm in mid-thirties and have noticeable neck bands that are extremely bothersome. I believe I may be a candidate for submentoplasty. My interpretation is that this would involve a small incision under the chin and the cutting and sewing together of the prominent neck bands. (1) Does it appear submentoplasty would work? (2) Are there other options? Tried Botox 1, not too successful (2) If I have the procedure do I have to worry about bunching? (8) How long could I expect the results to last?
