Can someone explain in detail how a platysma myotomy is performed? Would I be a good candidate?

Asked By:Gia C. in New York, New York

I had a deep plane facelift 15 months ago by a highly respected NYC plastic surgeon. I am still experiencing extreme tightness around my neck and on the sides of my face. I have had Kenalog injections, lymphatic massage and ultrasound without success. I also still have a purple bruise on my neck. I have heard of a platysma myotomy. Would I be a good candidate for that, might that help me and exactly how is that performed?
