As we age, the neck is often one of the first areas to show significant skin laxity and tissue sagging. This patient came to us with the goal of addressing that natural aging process and eliminating the loose, sagging skin beneath his chin.
Dr. Santos performed a Neck Lift combined with a Platysmaplasty.
What is a Platysmaplasty?
While a standard neck lift removes excess skin, a platysmaplasty goes a step deeper. It involves surgically tightening the platysma muscle (the broad, sheet-like muscle extending from the collarbone up to the jaw). By repairing and corset-tightening this underlying muscle, we eliminate vertical neck bands and create a strong, supportive foundation for a truly crisp and lasting jawline.
He is currently 1.5 months post-op and looking fantastic! While he is still in the healing phase, his jawline is already beautifully defined, and his contours will only continue to improve over the next few months.
