Do sutures hold the platysma in place until muscles are fully healed?

Asked By:PS9797 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

When the plastysma is sutured together, is the aim for the sutures to hold the platysma in place until the muscles heal together in their new position? Or do the muscles not heal together and are held together tighter only by way of the sutures? Is there any risk of the platysma sutures coming undone?
