I'm only 31 and have relatively really nice facial skin but my Platysmal Bands make my neck look 71 not 31. I think they are pretty extreme for my age. What can I do to correct this when I think I'm too young for a necklift and $250 every 3 months for Botox just seems silly. Is there anything else that can be done?
