Cutting platysmal band during Ellevate neck lift? Should I not cut the band?

Asked By:LAmommyof2 in Los Angeles, CA

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!
