I have this problem of late. I have noticed that when I am talking and my tongue is in certain positions, that my neck develops this vertical rope like appearance, with a sort of dip in the center. It only is visible while I am speaking. I am 37 years old, and this is tormenting me, as I am not showing visible signs of aging otherwise. Whatever it is, can it be rectified? Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!
Answer: Platysma band upon animmation Yes those are platysma bands. Since they are more pronounced upon animation and not at rest, I would recommend you to get botox injected to the area.

Answer: Are These Platysmal Bands It would be best to consult with a board-certified surgeon in-person as you may have more than one option. The presence of banding down the front of the #neck, and, amount of excess skin and condition of your skin are among some factors which determine if you are a #candidate for #rejuvenating the neck. Chin deficiency with the neck and jawline are also taken into consideration. A weak #chin implies a lack of chin support for the skin along the neck line. As a stand-alone procedure, chin augmentation can be performed in the office under local #anesthesia. For individuals with signs of aging in the neck, a chin implant added to one of the recommended procedures above, will provide optimal results.

Answer: Neck Bands and Treatment Options Neck bands can be improved with botox and deep RF heating such as thermage or sublative. I have had success with smart lipo even just for tightening if there is some laxity. If you want a more permanent improvement, thermi or platysmaplasty are the way to go. I suggest a noninvasive approach at your age, and see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in neck rejuvenation.

Answer: Correcting Platysmal Bands Yes, your presence of Significant (Platysmal) Banding is what is bothering you– this requires bringing the muscles together in the upper/mid neck to a more youthful position and occasionally their release. This procedure is called a platysmaplasty or platysma plication. Mild banding can be treated non- surgically with Botox or Dysport but this requires injections 3-4 times a year for maintenance

Answer: Correct They are the vertical platysma bands that are visible because you are skinny at your neck and maybe due also to the early aging. They have correction with a properly done neck lift in experienced hands, a muscular lift, but I deem it is too soon for you for such major procedure. Give it a think.
