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 Are the Benefits of Platysmal Bands?
At Watt Plastic Surgery, platysmal band treatment addresses the vertical neck bands that can develop due to aging and muscle activity. This procedure aims to restore a smoother, more youthful neck contour, with additional benefits including:
- Reduces the appearance of vertical neck bands
- Enhances jawline definition
- Improves overall neck contour
- Provides long-lasting results
- Boosts self-confidence with a rejuvenated appearance
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.

Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
If ur on the fence let me help you decide...DO IT! Dr. WATT and his entire team were amazing from start to finish. They were thorough and kept in contact with me to answer any questions. Explained everything in detail so there were no surprises. Breastreduction with internal mesh Dr. Watt removed 4 lbs of tissue at first I was sad because I thought my breasts were too small, but boy was I mistaken. Now that it's been in three months, my breasts have healed , formed and shaped perfectly. Not to mention, I did not have one single complication... incisions healed nicely no infections, no hematomas.. Recovery was a breeze, took pain meds only 2 days after that it was not needed. I wish I would have done it sooner.
Jess McCarry is the most talented person I know! If you’re considering injectables, or looking for a new expert, she is The One to see. Beyond her talents, she is also an incredible human! The whole team at Watt is great, but Jess is The Best in The Biz! 🫶🏻
Incredibly happy with my entire experience and results with Dr. Watt. He gave me exactly what I asked for with my breast surgery and honestly even better than I could have imagined. I’m truly obsessed with my results and so thankful I found him. Also had an amazing diamond glow with Alicia, she was kind and super knowledgeable!! I highly highly recommend him and his team!!!!I had another procedure done with Dr. Girardot, and I’m beyond impressed with my entire experience. I could not be happier with the entire process. She is phenomenal and so unbelievably caring. Love this office.
Dr watt is the best surgeon I have ever met. His passion for helping people is unlike anything I have ever seen. He makes you feel so comfortable and more than just another number, another patient. I have referred my mother, my sister in law who both had surgeries and are also extremely happy with their results. I would recommend anyone to Dr. watt. Thank you for helping me!
Thank you to Alicia who has done my facials and lasers. She has improved my skin so much more than I thought possible! On top of that, she’s such a ray of sunshine every time I see her. So happy I found her and the services which have improved my skin so much!!

Platysmal Bands FAQs
Is there an ideal age to treat platysmal bands?
There is no specific age for treating platysmal bands, as suitability depends on factors like skin elasticity, the severity of the bands, and individual aesthetic goals. Many patients opt for treatment in their 40s or 50s when signs of aging become more apparent, but younger individuals with early signs of banding can also see benefits.
How long do the results of a neck lift for platysmal bands last?
Results are long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and protect their skin from sun exposure. While the natural aging process continues, most patients enjoy the benefits of a smoother, firmer neck for 10–15 years before considering any additional treatments.
Will there be visible scars after the procedure?
Surgeons make small, strategically placed incisions — often under the chin and behind the ears — to minimize visible scarring. Over time, these scars typically fade and blend with the natural contours of the skin, making them nearly undetectable to others.
