About Platysma bands.

Platysma bands are prominent, vertically oriented ridges or cords visible in the anterior and anterolateral neck, primarily affecting the muscular and integumentary systems in aging adults.

They arise from the superficial platysma muscle, presenting dynamically during contraction or statically at rest as linear bowstrings extending from the mandible toward the clavicle.

Pathophysiologically, their formation is driven by repeated hyperfunctional contraction and tonic shortening of the platysma fibers, midline muscle divergence or attenuation, and progressive loss of overlying skin elasticity and subcutaneous fat support.
