Hello, I’m looking for some guidance on treatment options for what appears to be a combination of neck laxity AND platysma bands. I’ve included photos with arrows and without. My main area of concern is a large ?platysma band complicated by neck laxity in the middle of my neck. This is present at rest (which is my main concern), and worsened on contraction along with very visible platysma bands. I am planning a Nefertiti lift (Botox), and if this is unsuccessful, is the next step a neck lift?
