In my early 50s and never thought I'd be considering PS. I am fine with my face aging naturally, however, I have platysmal banding on my neck which I have become quite focused on and know will only get worse. I ran across this article with what appears to be a promising procedure. Any docs with experience performing this as an isolated procedure? Or what is the least invasive technique you would recommend in my situation?
Answer: Platysmaplasty alone is an option Performing just a platysmaplasty alone is an option based on your picture presentation. Just a platysmaplasty from an under chin incision approach should provide decent improvement, but this would be less successful than a standard face and neck lift. The loose neck skin can fall back onto the underlying deeper tighten muscle after a platysmaplasty but there is a risk that it will sag a certain undetermined degree. So there is a trade off of less surgery for possible less successful tightening.

Answer: Platysma neck bands Good questionShort of a full necklift, the best way to deal with the BANDS is to use a small incision under the chin and repair the muscle [called a PLATYSMAPLASTY] Anything LESS may not give a good result and will likely RECUR early
