What is wrong with my neck? Platysmal bands? (Photo)

January 24, 2015
Asked By:symmetryisbeauty in Dallas, TX

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!
