Can a too tight platysmaplasty be loosened laterally and submentally?

October 18, 2014
Asked By:Seajay

I am 4 - 1/2 months out from a corset platysmaplasty. I am in enormous discomfort and distress from excessive tightness laterally and submentally. My neck looks skeletonized; all the muscles and sinews bulge when I chew or swallow. The skin feels like it is glued to the underlying tissues. This has not improved since surgery and is so uncomfortable that my oral intake is suffering and I am losing weight. My PS is dismissive when I try to address this problem. Can anything be done for this?
