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
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!
Dr. Girardot, Tori, and all of the nurses are amazing! They are actually so caring and thoughtful! Would recommend to anyone!
If I could leave 100 stars I would! I cannot recommend the PA-C Jaime enough! Jaime did my Botox a few weeks ago and I could not be more pleased! She is so talented and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your results! Thank you Jaime!!!
Watt Plastic Surgery, has been nothing short of an amazing experience. From start to finish Dr.Watts, and his incredible team have helped prepare me for Pre and Post Operative care. The staff at this facility are next level and are ready to help you have the most incredible experience. Any questions or concerns that I had were always answered promptly, and they helped get me whatever I was in need of to ensure my recovery was perfect. The After hours line for any questions that you may have were amazing as well. They were so quick to get into contact with me and that is something that is such a nice added benefit as well as all of the other amazing things that you can experience when choosing Dr.Watt and his incredible team. The facility is beautiful and is located in Tampa Bay. I highly recommend Dr.Watt and his team for an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Watt Plastic Surgery as your go-to destination for all your skincare needs. Recently, I had a Halo Laser treatment with the awesome Lisa, and my skin is absolutely glowing! Before I tell you about this, I want to share my other experiences at WPS that led me to this because, let's face it, aging gracefully is the goal, right? If good skin is the new silent luxury, then this is definitely the place to achieve it. I've been getting Botox injections from Meghan since I took advantage of a Black Friday special a few years ago, and she is literally the best. Meghan really listens and knows exactly how, where, and when you need it. At my last appointment, I asked her about my skin, and instead of pushing expensive fillers, she recommended the Halo treatment to boost collagen and improve the texture of my deep acne scars, along with overall aging. I love that she—and all the providers at WPS—are honest and truly care about your well-being, rather than just trying to sell products or services. So, I decided to go for it! A week before my Halo treatment, I met with Lisa, who was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable and experienced with lasers. At this appointment, Alicia also performed a chemical peel on me, and just three days later, my skin felt the best it ever had. Thank you, Alicia! The Halo is more intense than most other common laser treatments, and I felt confident having it done by Lisa, a nurse, with real plastic surgeons present in the office—another thing I love about Watt. I did encounter an issue a few days after the laser treatment when my skin reacted with an acne breakout on my chin during the healing process. However, Lisa was immediately there to diagnose and prescribe a treatment that quickly resolved the issue. Now, three weeks later, I’m thrilled with my results! My pores are smaller, and my deeper wrinkles and acne scars are already visibly more plumped. I’m excited to see how the results will continue to improve over the next few months as my collagen rebuilds. I'm so glad I did this. I've also had the luxury of trying Moxi/BBL and a Diamond Glow facial with the sweetest provider, Tori. These treatments worked wonders on my sunspots and overall skin health. Tori explained that my skincare routine is like my diet, and seeing her is like going to the gym—you can’t out-train a poor diet! The office uses top-of-the-line equipment and carries medical-grade skincare products, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all of it. I know this review is lengthy, so if you're still with me, thank you. Overall, I cannot recommend Watt Plastic Surgery enough. If you've ever considered trying something, just give them a call and schedule a free consultation. Their team is full of talented professionals who will connect you with the right provider. I live a fair distance from the practice, but the drive is absolutely worth it. Watt Plastic Surgery gives me peace of mind, knowing that I'll be treated by qualified professionals with the experience to ensure successful and effective treatments.
