I'm 31 and a year ago started to see 2 vertical lines forming under my chin. When I turn my head to the right, the band going from my chin to my clavicle area sticks out very prominently. Is this loose skin or muscle or both? I have seen one surgeon who suggests a chin implant and to cut or tie my platysma bands at the same time. He said not to do a facelift at this time. I'm looking for confirmation that this course of action will give me the best result or any advice on this issue. Thank you!

Answer: Neck treatment in 30's Hello. At 31, your'e still very young and doing a neck lift may be overly aggressive at this time. I don't think a chin implant will dramatically improve those bands. The bands you see are due to your platysma muscle. A much simpler option at this stage is to try botox. It's safe and can soften the bands enough to satisfy you. Take care.
