Is there a surgery to correct my platysmal bands? (Photos)

October 8, 2020
Asked By:proudlypresents in San Francisco, CA

Ok, the aging of my face is relatively on par with my actual age. But I am SO self conscious about my neck. It looks aged and angry. Is there surgery to correct this? If so, what is it called? I have put a lot of Botox in them once or twice and loved the results, but honestly I cannot afford to sustain the cost (1) and (2), I'm always secretly scared because we hit so far down & close to the throat. I just want a permanent fix. :-(
