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...
Thank you for your query. A neck lift may not be a good solution to this. A scar revision, MNRF or stem cell injections will help remodel the scar better. Please find an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns. All the best!
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.
