Platysmectomy

[Rhcdad]

Due to the facial weakness and now synkinesis, I potentially may have Platysmectomy completed on me. Has anyone had this procedure completed?

What is that procedure? Never heard of it,,,,

I have not had it but am interested. I have spoken to a couple of people who had it done, and they both loved it. It's minimally invasive and can even help your smile a tad because your neck muscle is no longer pulling down on your mouth. (They make an incision in your throat and fish out the muscle that makes you grimace or frown and I think they just cut it? You can watch it on YouTube. Kind of grisly!)
