How long does the Platysma stay together?

Question

JANUARY 22, 2013 I had a lower facelift, neck lipo, upper eyes done. Will the platysma stay together, or like the rest, eventually have to be done again in time? I'm 49 Dr. KEVIN SEDATI in Newport Beach, California did it. He invented a new technique a double stitch for the facelift. I'm wondering if this longer lasting procedure applies to the Platysma?

The corset platysmaplasty brings the platysma together. At the lower end of the plication,the medial bands are cut, which helps to prevent their separation. However, even in the best of hands, they will separate in some patients

The platysma goes through a process of aging and separation. In our facelifts and necklifts, a platysma plication is performed to tighten and support the platysma muscle. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACSLos Angeles

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

A platysma plication uses sutures to either bring the platysma together of imbricate it. Stitches used can be permanent of absorbable and the improvement over time may weaken in either case.
