Platysmaplasty is a surgical procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the neck by tightening the platysma muscle, which is a thin, flat muscle that extends from the collarbone to the jawline. Over time, the platysma muscle can weaken and separate, leading to the appearance of horizontal bands or "turkey neck" on the neck.

During a platysmaplasty, the surgeon makes small incisions under the chin and/or behind the ears, and then tightens the platysma muscle by either suturing it together or removing a small amount of the muscle. The skin is then re-draped over the newly tightened muscle, and any excess skin is removed. The procedure can be performed alone or in conjunction with other neck and facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a facelift or neck lift.

Platysmaplasty can provide significant improvement in the appearance of the neck, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking neck and jawline. However, it's important to note that the results of the procedure may vary depending on the individual's anatomy and the extent of the correction needed.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications associated with platysmaplasty, such as bleeding, infection, nerve injury, and scarring. It's important to discuss these risks with a qualified plastic surgeon and determine if platysmaplasty is the right option for you.
