Is there a procedure I can have that will repair the platysma? If so, what is the cost and will it leave scarring? The scar from thyroid surgery I had over ten years ago has finally faded. Yep, I am one of those who keloid scars. Thank you for reading.
Answer: Platysma plasty for separated platysma muscles A full set of pictures at rest, not upon animation are required to make a determination about what surgical procedure would be necessary. The 2 anterior platysmal bands and the sewn together with a platysma plasty, and in addition releasing of the bands can occur down low in the neck. In our practice, we have never seen a keloid in the submental incision. Depending upon the skin tone, a neck lift or a face/neck lift may be required. For many before and after examples of the neck lifts performed in our practice, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Platysmal banding About one third of the population will be born with this condition of platysmal muscle separation. Botox can be used to treat this but surgery is the best solution. This is usually part of the facelift. It requires an incision under the chin which is usually obscure. Although it has been done without removing skin peri auricular (around the ear), but is not nearly as effective in most cases as doing with the facelift. The cost will vary widely.
