I was advised by a plastic surgeon recently to not have a neck lift as I am too young (36 years) but my skin is really sagging and at this point, I don’t feel like I can take it. Based on the photo, can you please tell me if I am a good candidate or if I am too young? If too young, what are my options?

Hi from Istanbul. Great question! Even after surgery, platysma bands can reappear for various reasons. While certain techniques during the procedure can reduce the chance of recurrence, they don't eliminate the possibility entirely. However, the overall result would still be much improved...
Hello! Unfortunately, a neck lift will not remove this scar. I would suggest consulting with a skin care professional to see if microneedling, laser or scar revision by a surgeon would be a better approach. Best of luck!
Yours is a congenital trait and removing the muscles would not work well for your neck and head. Botox is a safer thing that can be done to help decrease the size of the muscle. However, it will make the muscle a little weaker. You need these muscles.
