What’s the best option to fix this splitting neck lift? (photos)

Loving7650
Had a deep plane neck lift/lipo in 2020 (age 34). Now (age 38) it appears the sutured platysma muscles have split in 2. Original surgeon suggested an in-office procedure to cut into the existing chin scar, & remove some of the platysma muscle (myotomy). And maybe make a 2nd incision to re-suturing the splitting muscles. I wanted to get some other opinions on ways to correct this. Does this sound reasonable? Or should I be looking into a full on neck revision?
