I Have Very Prominent Platysma Banding That Shows Up when I Smile, Talk, Eat. My Options?

peabelly
It's genetic, I think bc my dad has the same bands. I also have large submandibular glands and as I age they have begun to show more. I am thinking about a neck lift and platysmaplasty. Is there anything that can be done with large submandibular glands? Can they be minimized with a neck lift/platysmaplasty?
