Is it possible to get a corset platysmaplasty after the platysma muscles have been sutured to the hyoid bone? (Photo)

flila
I had a deep plane face and neck lift with platysmaplasty 6 months ago. I was under the impression that I would be receiving a corset platysmaplasty (with the platysma muscles sutured to the collarbone) but the surgeon only sutured the platysma muscles down to the hyoid bone where they were sutured. When I turn my head, my neck looks terrible below the hyoid bone due to the platysma muscles. Is it possible to get a corset platysmaplasty after the platysma muscles have been sutured to the hyoid bone? Is the timeframe important, i.e., is it best to do it sooner rather than later? Thanks so much for any help.
