Can an over Tight Platysmal Transection Be Released?

User Avatar

I had a platysma transection done five years ago, which I never asked for, and have lived with extreme tightness and choking sensations around the neck and mandible ever since. According to the Operation report, the surgeon pulled the flaps posterior and sutured them in the mastoid area. Rather than an improved neck I wound up with a submental collpse. Can this be undone? Is there any provision under samaritan laws that can get me help? It hasn't eased with time.
