Neck lift with platysmaplasty, platysmaplasty alone, or mini face lift? (Photos)

June 19, 2021

Not sure what is best for my neck. As I turned 46 I noticed some loose skin under my chin with the bands more evident now. I'm not sure what would be best to improve this. Google has me overwhelmed. I did go get a consult and was told that I am "not yet there" for a mini facelift and that it wouldn't improve my neck issue anyway. Not sure if liposuction alone will just leave more loose skin or that a facetite procedure alone will tighten the skin. Can a platysmaplasty alone help?
