I am looking for suggestions for pleating after neck lift? (Photo)

Hello, I have excessive pleating after my deep plane neck lift/facelift. My plastic surgeon suggested trying chemical peels, laser, or microneedling to reduce the pleating. I just want it to be smooth. It is not what I expected and I am looking for suggestions? Thanks.

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result. With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF...
