Revision options after platysmaplasty? (Photo)

Lulu4118Aug 21, 2023
I feel a little back to square one on year+ out from corset platysmaplasty that has left significant banding especially under chin. Have spoken at length with surgeon who says this sometimes happens and the option for revision is going in again and cutting the bands. Wondering if anything could have been done differently (ie. less aggressive with fat removal and stitching). Also what other options could work and if closed platysmaplasty is an option (and if so, who is doing them).

It is very difficult to tell from the photographs presented, but a neck lift in our practice involves removal of fat deposits above and below the platysma muscle, in addition to a platysma plasty to significantly improve the jawline. At age 33, you do not need a facelift.
