Contact UsWhat Are Platysmal Bands?
Loose and sagging skin at the neck, otherwise known as platysmal bands, is a common reason patients opt for neck lift surgery. Known as a turkey neck, this excess sagging skin can decrease confidence. We utilize advanced techniques at Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa to provide you with a smooth, well-defined neck that is void of excess skin. If you're still wondering if a neck lift is right for you, schedule a consultation at our Tampa, FL office. We'll help you choose the best treatment option so you leave with the chiseled jawline and smooth neck you've always wanted.
What to Expect from Platysmal Band Treatment
There are many different approaches to how our team performs a neck lift. We'll evaluate several factors to determine which technique suits your needs. Some of the factors we discuss will include:
- The current elasticity of the neck
- The amount of skin present in the neck
- The type of banding present as a result of muscle separation (platysmal bands)
During the neck lift, a small incision gets made under the chin. The muscles get sutured together to create a foundation for the skin to heal and naturally re-drape. This neck lift treatment may also get combined with laser resurfacing treatments. It is a minimal procedure where we'll provide oral sedation or local anesthesia. The recovery period is generally quick. In cases of severe neck laxity, we may need to take a different approach involving incisions made behind the ears. Learn more about this treatment when you schedule an appointment with our team.
Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Post surgery - pleased with results Dr and staff attentive and caring great explanation of what you expect. Pre surgery - amazing!! Unbelievable how caring and patient Alexa was so kind and compassionate.
I’m getting emotional just writing this as Dr Watt has changed my life! He is an amazing surgeon takes pride in his work! His staff is just as amazing and a hugh shout out to his nurse Alex, she was my rock during everything. Just an all around amazing experience. My only regret is that I should have done this 10 years ago!
I just want to take the time to personally thank Dr. Watt and his amazing staff. I knew from the moment I visited Dr. Watt’s website and read thru all his credentials, experience, and personal reviews that he was the surgeon for me. I spent a lot of time and effort researching surgeons and when I met and had my consult with Dr. Watt my experience from start to finish has been beyond my expectations and my surgery results are absolutely perfect! I’m blown away by the outcome of my results and I am only 5 weeks post surgery, I barely have any scars which was and is completely unexpected. I’m so excited to see the final results as the healing continues and the subtle changes take effects in the months ahead. Thank you again Dr. Watt for your personalized expertise and for taking the time to attentively listen to all my wants and expectations. You are truly a master at your craft! I recommend anyone who is considering breast surgery of any kind to consult with Dr. Watt so you too can get the results of your dreams! Thank you to all the amazing women in your practice also who made my experience just as equally special. Each and every person I interacted with from office staff, nurses, and anesthesiologists were kind, sensitive, and professional. A genuinely special group of humans you all are! I had a truly AMAZING experience from start to finish and I won’t forget it! 😊❤️🥰
Dr. Girardot is by far the best plastic surgeon I have met. She takes her time to explain everything, make you feel beautiful even before discussing a procedure, and goes above and beyond to give you the best results. I am so thankful to have a plastic surgeon as amazing and caring as Dr. G. I have gone to her for two surgeries (3 procedures) and plan to go to her for anything else I want in the future. I have referred my coworkers and friends because I know they will always be in the best care with her. 10/10 recommend booking a consult so you can also see just how amazing she is! I’m so happy with my results only one week post-op. Thank you Dr. G and Watt plastic surgery team!
At Watt Plastic Surgery the team is exceptional, I cannot recommend them enough! This was my first experience with an elective plastics procedure, and from the moment I stepped into the office for my first appointment with Dr. Girardot, there was no hesitation. I could not have asked for a better experience or surgeon. I cannot thank Dr. Girardot, Alex, and the rest of the team enough for making me feel supported throughout this journey with the best decision. I could not be happier with the outcome!
