There's probably a better term for this, but I hate having those those vertical muscles (maybe tendons or ligaments) in my neck, but a deep canyon between them. I've never read about any way to help those. I see lots of beautiful women who've had surgery, but the neck!
Answer: Any Hope for a "Ropy" Looking Neck Without photos, it's difficult to determine the treatment to address your concern. Also, it really depends on the amount of #sagging you are experiencing. It's best to begin by consulting with a surgeon in-person. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine what treatments will best rejuvenate your neck . During your initial examination, your chin will be evaluated along with the neck and jawline. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. In younger individuals a chin implant alone is usually all that is needed to improve the appearance of the neck. Subsequently, it will also improve the overall #balance of the face and can create the illusion of a smaller nose. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of #aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results. Your board certified plastic surgeon should evaluate both your anatomical features and aesthetic goals to suggest which procedure best suits your needs. In some cases there may be more than one option to choose from. If you are not a candidate at the time of your #consultation, your board surgeon can recommend #non-surgical alternatives to address your concern.

Answer: Ropey Neck Correction Requires Neck Lift/Platysmaplasty
Thank you for your question.
The bands that you see are caused by laxity and sagging of two muscles on the neck called the Platysma Muscles.
A procedure called a Platysmaplasty and Neck Lift can correct the ropey neck.
A small incision is made beneath the chin and the two muscles are sutured together and tightened. Usually an incision is also made behind the ears and neck skin is tightened.

Answer: Solutions for a "Ropy" looking neck!
Botox can relax the muscle that causes the bands. Surgical correction (for more severe bands) may involve incision of the bands. Suturing the muscle in the mid-line and re-susupension of the muscle.

Answer: Option for neck cords or bands
Shortening of the anterior platysmal bands causes the ropes you are referring to. This is addressed through a lower face/neck lift where muscles are tightened along the front part of the jaw line between the chin and the Adam’s apple. The bands are then released down low over the thyroid area so that they lengthen, expand, and the cords go away. Neck fat will be addressed at the same time in addition to tightening any excess skin in the lower neck.

Answer: Treatment for neck bands
Those bands are the anterior border of the platysma muscle, a sheetlike muscle that runs across the neck and jawline. With age, they sag and pull away from the deeper attachments in the neck, and the overlying skin does something similar. There is only one solution, which is surgery. Botox is described and performed, but rarely is worth the money, and the results are not always impressive since the skin remains an uncorrected component.
I also agree with the other surgeons that you require a straightforward facelift, which includes an incision and correction of the midline issues with excess muscle resection and suture reapproximation (anterior plication), and then posterior repositioning as well. Anything less will leave you with incomplete correction. Whether or not the surgeon proposes even more, like a muscle relaxing cut in midline, or complete platsymal transection, or neither, is just surgeon preference.
