How can I get rid of these bands on my neck? (Photo)

I’ve seen these type of bands Develop after liposuction a few times.
There are two different ideologies.
The first our regular soft platysmal bands that were present before the liposuction, but the fat removal made the bands visible. When that’s the case, they’re usually soft one pressed upon, and can respond to Botox injections.
These tend to be further down on the neck.
The second version are firm bands of scar tissue that form after liposuction and are not related to the platysma muscle. I had one patient personally who developed this that I followed for a year.
I’ve also had several patients I’ve followed remotely who described this on real self.
For most patients, they saw improvements overtime, but it required six months to a year before they saw improvements.
This second type of band usually feel really tight, especially when you extend the neck.
I don’t know of any definitive treatment to speed up the process.
They seem associated with previous overly excessive liposuction, which is very difficult to correct.
I wish I had a better answer for you.
Best,
