What Is Platysmaplasty?

Platysmaplasty focuses on tightening the platysma muscle, which can weaken and separate over time, causing visible vertical bands in the neck. During the procedure, the muscle is repaired and secured, creating a smooth, youthful contour. This targeted approach is often combined with other neck rejuvenation techniques, such as liposuction or skin tightening, for optimal results in achieving a more refined appearance.
