Why Is the Platysma So Important?

Why Is the Platysma So Important? 🔹

The platysma is the widest facial muscle! It covers almost the entire front and side of the neck and plays a key role in the aesthetics of the lower face.

📌 Key Features of the Platysma:
✔️ Starts below the collarbones, extends upward, and connects to chewing and facial muscles.
✔️ Controls the lower part of the face, influencing the shape of the neck and jawline.
✔️ Not attached to bones, making it prone to losing elasticity.
✔️ Lacks sebaceous glands, making it highly susceptible to dryness and wrinkles.

📌 How Does the Platysma Change With Age?
🔸 A “hollow triangle” forms in the middle of the neck as the muscle edges separate, causing vertical skin bands (“turkey neck”).
🔸 The central fibers thicken, while the lateral ones loosen, leading to sagging skin and tissue ptosis.

💡 How to Fix It?
The platysmaplasty technique is individually tailored! Understanding the muscle’s structure and function is crucial for achieving a natural and harmonious result.
