The muscle fibers that support the neck are collectively known as the platysma. This sheet of muscle can weaken over time, accelerating some of the visible signs of aging such as skin laxity, vertical neck bands, and even a double chin. If you are unhappy with the way loose neck skin has affected your appearance, you may be able to benefit from a procedure known as platysmaplasty. Contact Flores Plastic Surgery to book your initial consultation and learn more.
When Is Platysmaplasty Necessary?
Neck band muscles are always present, but they are not usually visible until the skin and muscles in the area begin to lose their integrity. When the platysma muscle has weakened to the point that these bands become visible, it cannot usually be restored with topical creams and ointments alone. Even more recently developed techniques, including treatments that utilize ultrasound or radiofrequency energy, can only help so much. Only a carefully performed surgical procedure can help restore the platysma muscle to its proper placement and strength.
Is Platysmaplasty Right for Me?
If you have noticed a jawline that has begun to sag due to loose skin brought on by the aging process, a procedure like platysmaplasty could be right for you. Most patients who choose this procedure often do so because they have seen lackluster results with topical creams or otherwise non-invasive treatments. If you are considering undergoing platysmaplasty, you should also be in generally good health and able to handle general anesthesia.
Ultimately, our doctor will determine if a procedure like platysmaplasty is the best course of action for your needs. This will be decided after scheduling a consultation with you and discussing your expectations and goals.
The Benefits of Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty offers a wide array of benefits that typically do not come with non-surgical procedures. These include:
- Long-lasting results
- Visibly more youthful profile
- A permanent solution to platysmal bands
Platysmaplasty is a procedure designed to last. Once the bands of the platysma muscle have been restored, it will be several years before they start to weaken again. That said, you should not expect something like this to happen for a very long time following your procedure. Many patients enjoy the results of their surgery for upwards of a decade.
When Will I See Results?
Your results will be immediately visible after surgery, but there may be some initial swelling afterwards. However, any swelling should go down completely within a couple weeks following your procedure. Your results will be fully visible by this point.

Category: reviewsI went to Dr Jaime Flores looking for a second opinion after a long journey of Six surgeries and a questionable medical management.He healed an open wound I had and set me on the wright path for a complete recovery.He performed a DIEP Flap to reconstruct my right breast with excellent results and a fraction of the pain and limitations I had to deal with in my previous surgeries.His confidence, expertise, professionalism,compassion and wonderful bedside manners make Dr Flores the best surgeon I could ask for. I wish I had met him before.All the stars for Dr Flores and his excellent team.My endlessly gratitude for this exceptional Doctor and marvelous human being.
Couldn't be HAPPIER - LOWER BODY LIFT AND BREAST LIFT W/O IMPLANTS
by BARBARA M.
Category: reviewsI was referred to Dr. Flores by another plastic surgeon who is amazing. However, he was honest enough to say that what I needed was best being done by Dr. Flores as he was the best in what I needed. I thought what I needed what a tummy tuck and in fact he told me I needed a lower body lift. Therefore, I went ahead scheduled the appointment and the day of my appointment I was a little concerned as I had never met. I finally met him and his staff and let me tell you he's AMAZING!!! Answers all your concerns with such patience and shows so much caring! I didn't hesitate to schedule my surgery. Results could not be any better and would not hesitate to refer him to my friends as he's truly an artist. His office team are great! If I could give me 100 STARS i would not hesitate.
Forever grateful to Dr Flores and his amazing staff!

Category: reviewsThere are not enough stars on this review for me to show my appreciation for Dr. Flores and his amazing staff! I have been his patient since 2014, when I was first diagnosed with breast cancer. He is an amazing person, and the best plastic surgeon! After having my double mastectomy, Dr. Flores did an amazing job with my reconstruction. After having a recurrence with cancer, he has been by my side every step of the way, and making sure all my needs were met. I am beyond happy with my breast reconstruction and hands down can say that Dr Flores and his wonderful staff have been a beacon of hope for me. He is by far the BEST plastic surgeon in Miami, and I will recommend him and his practice hands down every time !! Thank you for all you have down for me, I am forever grateful!
