Neck Lift Incision Under the Chin?

jacqui-f
Why can't surgeons simply make an incision under the chin to access and tighten neck musculature in cases of Neck lift? I do not need a lower facelift; I just have a neck that does not match my face, due to cervical spondylosis. It surely cannot be too difficult to access and tie these loose muscles without drastic surgery. I look like a bullfrog at the moment, so Botox is unlikely to help me.
