Platysmaplasty: Who Is the Ideal Candidate?

Platysmaplasty Neck bands, also known as platysma bands, are the muscles that surround the front part of the neck. Aging can cause these muscles to separate and hang down from under the chin to the lower neck. Platysmaplasty is a procedure that can reduce the appearance of these neck bands by bringing them back together permanently. If you’re interested in platysmaplasty in New York, NY, it’s important to find out if you’re a candidate for the procedure.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Platysmaplasty? 

There is no ideal age or time in a person’s life when platysmaplasty may be considered since the signs of aging are different from person to person. That being said, there are a few criteria that a doctor will look for to decide if you are a candidate for platysmaplasty, including:

  • Good physical health: Whenever you may have surgery, a doctor will want to ensure you are in good physical health to ensure there are fewer risks. Plus, health risks or illness can prolong recovery time.
  • Realistic and positive expectations: Platysmaplasty can improve your appearance and confidence. However, you should not go into it expecting to look completely different or unlike yourself.
  • Non-smokers: Smokers are at risk of enduring complications either during or after surgery. Smoking can also cause other issues with your body that may hinder your ability to heal and recover properly.
  • Healthy skin: Ideally, the patient has some elasticity to their skin for better results.

Speaking with a specialist at Romo Plastic Surgery is the best way to find out if you are a candidate for platysmaplasty.
