Im worried about this procedure but I'd like to have it done as turkey neck runs in my family. Would this make my pre jowls look worse? Will it affect the shape of my lower face by repairing the muscle? Am I an appropriate candidate for this procedure. It makes me nervous because its close to the face. Please let me know your thoughts. This time I've included photos. Thank you kindly

Answer: Anterior neck lift You should not be worried too much. It is very likely that you will have a satisfactory correction just with an anterior plication of platisma muscle bands and wide undermining of neck skin. You do not have jowls; possibly conservative liposuction along a jaw line with small cannula? A small scar in front and behind ears will make it lower face/neck lift which may address all you concerns?Keep talking to your surgeon, you are on a good path. Good luck.

Answer: Anterior platysmaplasty ? Thanks for your pictures. From what I can see, you have separation of the platysma muscles in the midline and you have excess skin and mild to moderate jowling. So yes, you are a candidate based on your photos. The anterior platysmatplasty will improve your neck bands, but it will not remove excess skin. What this means is that you will get an improvement in the shape and profile, but you will still have excess skin that if were to be removed via a mini lift or facelift, would further enhance your results by contouring your neck and jawline. This procedure will not make your jowls look worse. It will affect the shape of your neck, by making it more contoured, and should not affect your face.
