 I don’t know what happened, but it looks terrible. Something has gone wrong and to me it looks even worse than before. Granted, the 2 platysma bands aren’t as noticeable but now there’s all this uneven and wrinkled skin on my neck. What do you think went wrong with the surgery and is there any way to correct it? Do you think it will get better over time
