I am having the Ellevate neck lift procedure. The surgeon would like to cut the platysmal band, but not suture it. Should I not cut the band? I read if it's not sutured it can leave lumps. Is that true? Thank you!

Answer: Suture When you think about it, the bands are usually in the midline under the chin, the process of only lifting them from the sides distracts them apart further and pulls them further out of position. As far as cutting the bands, it depends where but in general, care should be taken where they are cut because contour deformities can result. Suturing the bands with medial and lateral suturing with a facelift is the most practical solution without unintended results.

Answer: Platysma bands Cutting the bands during Ellevate is part of the procedure that achieves the results. Bands are usually cut during the necklift, but instead of suturing the bands to each other, the Ellevate suture lifts them.
