Is there any metal or implant left In face or neck that needs to be noted on MRI or Nuclear Bone scan that is of concern after surgery ? Are the staples or sutures used metal and any chance anything still remaining after removal and healing ? My surgeries were fairly recent and I had mesh in my neck so concerned about having an MRI Much appreciated Thank you

It is still too early to comment on your result. It takes at least 6 months to see stable result after face/neck surgery. However, it appears that you will need more of platysma muscle/SMAS tightening and skin excision to achieve better result. Formal face/neck lift would have been a better...
Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon in your area to determine cost, and candidacy.

Yes, the platysmal bands are what is atempted to be helped with a platysmaplasty. I do these procedures even under a local anesthetic wit minimal down time.
