My neck platysma muscle bands are very visible 7 weeks after necklift (photo)

BellaEddie
7 weeks ago I had suction lipoplasty of the neck (which was barely needed)- a submental incision was made and the platysma bands were sewn together w/ 3-0 PDA. I also had a lower s-lift (mini facelift). My platysma bands are visible now that the swelling is gone. The point of the surgery was to correct this- what do you think went went wrong? What would be the next step in your opinion?
