1 year after my lower face and neck lift this protruding band is irritating the heck out of me. My surgeon suggests Morpheus to tighten this part of my neck now. But my other doctors office ( for Botox) says neck lifts require addressing those muscles during surgery? I tried Botox to the band but it did not resolve it . Why can I do? What is this I'm so confused now ...
Answer: Recurrent neck bands following facelift Recurrent neck bands following a lower face and neck lift, most likely the result of the platysma muscle, are perhaps the most common issue that we see, There is a great deal of controversy even among the most experience surgeons on how to address these bands and prevent their recurrence. The discussion of which is a little beyond the scope of your question. What I will tell you is that other than Botox (or other neuromodulators) which is temporary, no non surgical intervention will address these bands and a short platysmaplasty procedure may make you very happy.

Answer: Neck You are seeing the platysmal muscle that commonly forms a "band" in the neck. There are countless ways that have been described in the plastic surgery literature to address these during surgery. There are so many ways to address them; this reflects the complexity of adequately treating them and also preventing the recurrence. I recommend seeing a board-eligible or board-certified ACTUAL plastic surgeon with at least 6 years of integrated plastic surgery training (ideally followed by an aesthetic fellowship accredited by The Aesthetic Society).

Answer: Facelift Those are the platysma bands that may not have been addressed in the original surgery. Can be corrected through incision under the chin by sewing the ten bands together

Answer: Facelift It’s not uncommon for patients to experience concerns or changes after a lower face and neck lift. The protruding band you describe might be due to muscle activity or other factors. While neck lifts during surgery can address muscles, non-surgical treatments can also be considered for specific concerns.

Answer: Really common so the platysma is a hammock like muscle supporting the neck. As you get older it gets thinner. Tightening an already thinning muscle can lead to stripes like this which we call platysma bands.
