I am hoping for the best but also thinking I am going to need a revision which I can’t go through do to health issues. Is there anything else I can do besides Botox injections? Or would another platysmaplasty with just under the chin incision possibly work for the banding? I don’t know if I had a corset platysmaplasty or something else. Thanks for any advice you may have.
Answer: Preventing Recurrent Neck Bands after a Face/Necklift The key component to prevent or minimize any platysmal band recurrence is to open the neck with a submental incision and plicate or suture the muscle together and release it inferiorly . However, even in the best of skilled hands, one can have a occasional recurrence so you need to wait for at least 6 months before considering an operative revision Make sure you select a board certified Plastic Surgeon with expertise and skill in the modern concepts of facelift surgery

Answer: Revision platysmaplasty Hello and thank you for the question. You benefit from platysmaplasty, which can be done under local anesthesia with or without sedation. It's best to wait a little longer prior to having a revision surgery. Your surgeon is the best resource to guide your through this process.

Answer: Platysmal bands The return of these bands can come from a number of reasons. If a platysma plasty in this area needs to be corrected, it can be performed under local anesthesia. However you would want to wait several months to allow the tissue swelling from your first surgery to soften, if the neck was previously dissected. If it wasn't, then you may be able to go back sooner.

Answer: Platysmaplasty It is possible to correct this with an incision placed under the chin only. The platysma band is dissected and sutured to the opposite side. The procedure can be performed under local anesthesia to avoid the need for more involved anesthesia.

Answer: Recurrent bands It does look like you have some recurrent bands. At about 6 months, if you are feeling well enough, these can be addressed through an incision under the chin with just local anesthesia. Should be able to tighten the bands and skin to improve the appearance. Botox can be helpful until you want to do that.
