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

Answer: Necklift? Platysmaplasty often needs a neck lift from a lateral approach as well. It does work in certain cases by itself. But you will likely need lateral tightening and skin redrawing. If this was not done, you might want to ask your surgeon about additional procedures.

Answer: Wrinkled neck after platysmaplasty It’s important to understand that tightening your platysma bands is one thing, redraping your skin is another. Your surgeon may have opened an incision under your chin to manage the bands, but your face and neck skin also needed tightening. Platysmaplasty doesn’t do that. Return to your surgeon and discuss neck tightening. You may need to move forward with a lower face/neck lift. Based on your pics, you should have a terrific result! Good luck!
