Neck Lipo or Platysmaplasty or "Neck Lift"? Pros and Cons?

calitigerboy
34 y.o. M actor with submental fat. DR 1 said neck lipo. Dr. 2 said that people really platysmaplasty/muscles tightened. Dr 3 said that his "neck lift" removes fat UNDERNEATH the muscle. This sounds best. He warned me against Lipo, said it creates scar tissue, complicates future surgeries. Questions: What are the + and - of neck lipo vs platysmaplasty vs. neck lift? What about 1 surgery that removes fat underneath, tightens muscle, then lipos fat above? Want tightest jawline possible.
