Platysmaplasty
Before & After
Procedure(s): Platysmaplasty
Age: Late 30s
Results: During her consultation, this patient presented with fullness underneath her chin and neck area. We decided on a platysmaplasty and submental liposuction to trim that platysma muscle as well as reduce fat in the area. This procedure requires an incision under the chin that is roughly an inch and a half in length. This procedure was done in the operating room under twilight sedation. After her procedure, this patient has a streamlined profile and a more defined jawline.
Procedure(s): Platysmaplasty
Age: Late 30s
Results: In our initial discussion, this patient had concerns about her under chin and neck fullness. She expressed a desire to address genetic fullness in this area. Fullness in this area is likely due to genetics and has a resistance to diet and exercise. The fullness can also be a result of the platysma muscle falling, in which case, surgery is the only option. We opted to tighten her platysma (neck) muscle and include submental liposuction to get that trim neckline and profile she desired.
Procedure(s): Platysmaplasty, Buccal Fat Removal, Deep Fat Removal, Full Face CO2 Laser Treatment
Age: Late 30s
Results: This patient presented with neck, under chin, and lower face fullness. For this procedure, we decided to approach it from all angles with a platysmaplasty, buccal fat removal, and deep fat removal. By targeting this patient’s concerns like this, we are able to ensure that this patient only needs one surgery and only needs twilight sedation once. After his surgery, he has a sleek profile and neckline.
Procedure(s): Platysmaplasty, Submental Liposuction, and Chin Augmentation
Age: Early 30s
Results: During our first meeting, this patient had concerns about projection as well as under chin fullness. We opted to pull her platysma muscle up and include a chin implant to bring forward her profile. The deep fat under our chin is oftentimes genetic and stubborn to diet and exercise. By working on the fat and muscle, we were able to pull that under chin area up to create a streamlined profile.
Procedure(s): EvoLyft ™ Deep Plane Facelift with Platysmaplasty, Lateral Brow Lift, Mole Removal, and Full Face CO2 Laser Treatment
Results: During this patient’s consultation, we discussed her desire to bring up her underchin area. She was beginning to see early signs of her platysmal muscle “banding”, which is what we see when we begin to have that muscle fall and separate. After her procedure, her underchin is smoother and her profile shows an elegant jawline.
Procedure(s): EvoLyft ™ Deep Plane Facelift with Platysmaplasty, Lateral Brow Lift, and Full Face CO2 Laser Treatment
Age: Early 50s
Results: When discussing her concerns, this patient wanted to address her neck, but still look natural. When I looked at her anatomy, I could see that her platysmal muscle was begging to fall, causing fullness in her underchin and neck area. We trimmed this muscle and brought it up, closer to her jawline, to give her a jawline and neck area she desired.
Procedure(s): Neck Lift with Platysmaplasty, Chin Implant, and Lower Blepharoplasty with Fat Transposition
Age: Early 60s
Results: In order to give this patient a more defined profile, we opted to bring up the neck area with a neck lift and bring out his projection with a chin augmentation. The neck lift was coupled with a platysmaplasty to bring up that fallen platysma muscle. This muscle begins to fall as we age and is a large factor in patient’s concern with their neck area. After his procedure, this patient has more projection and an impressive jawline.
