Over the years, the large platysma<\/strong> neck muscle<\/strong> (which is attached to the skin) spontaneously contracts and even more so in two precise areas. <\/span><\/p>\n This contraction is the origin of the disappearance of the neck angle (cervicomental angle) and the appearance of two subcutaneous median bands in slim patients; these are commonly called platysmal bands or dewlaps.<\/strong> To-day, there is a solution to remedy the appearance of platysmal bands by using permanent suspension threads.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.docteur-foumenteze.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/platysma-2.png” title_text=”Platysma 2″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”450px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.docteur-foumenteze.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/platysma.png” title_text=”Platysma” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” height=”450px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Diagrams of the platysma skin muscle<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The treatment to restore the neck angle and eliminate platysmal bands has always been a real challenge<\/strong> for doctors.
