Neck Lift vs Platysmaplasty Surgery. Is it possible platysmaplasty can be done without any incision under the chin?

Does neck lift always include platysmaplasty? I had a consultation with a doctor recently. He suggests me a SMAS lower face lift, which includes neck lift. When I asked about the location of incisions, he said the incisions are approximately 3cm long in front of ears and behind the ears. When I searched on the internet, it looks like most doctors will have an incision under chin when doing platysmaplasty surgery. Is it possible platysmaplasty can be done without any incision under the chin?
