Can I just get a Corset Platysmaplasty? Will that simply be a cut under the chin? What is the cost? How long is the down time? Most importantly, where can I go in Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota? I don't have loose skin just bad banding. I would get a lower face lift later in life.
Answer: Not usually After a corset platysmaplasty, skin is pulled toward the middle. That pull must be compensated by doing a lifting procedure laterally. Although you may not need a facelift, neck lift incisions and pull laterally would also ideally be needed.

Answer: Yes, with FaceTite to tighten the skin With the Corset Platysmaplasty, you will need some skin tightening as the muscle envelope underneath the skin contracts and comes together. This leaves the skin over the muscle loose, with the need to also contract. FaceTite contracts the skin 20%. The advantage of using FaceTite with a Corset Platysmaplasty, is that only a small incision underneath the skin is needed, rather than ones behind the ears.

Answer: Neck contour Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a mini neck lift with a platysmal plication. Some skin tightening will be needed also, and therefore short incisions behind the ears would also be needed. If good technique is used, this can be done with minimal scarring and can result in a natural look, not over-done look, with rejuvenation of your neck. Cost varies based on geographic region and surgeon expertise. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Necklift You appear to have excellent skin tone and quality by the photos. Something to think about as a potential nonsurgical option would be Botox injections along the medial aspect of the platysma bands bilaterally. While this is a nonsurgical option and requires repeat treatments every 3 to 4 months, it may be a temporary option until a surgical procedure would be warranted. A more permanent option would be a neck lift with platysma band plication. This would involve a small incision beneath the chin. This is an excellent option as you have very good skin quality.
