Platysmaplasty tightens the thin muscle at the front of the neck. It smooths vertical neck bands and sharpens the angle between the chin and neck.
The platysma is a thin sheet of muscle in the neck. With age, its edges can separate and form visible cords, especially when you talk or tense your neck.
Dr. Sood works through a small incision in the crease under the chin, bringing the muscle edges together and tightening them. Fat under the chin can be removed at the same time.
Platysmaplasty can be done on its own or as part of a neck lift or facelift when there is also loose skin.
You may be a good candidate if you are bothered by vertical cords in your neck and have good skin quality.
If your question is not here, bring it to consultation. Nothing is too small to ask.
