What causes neck wrinkles?
Because of weakened neck muscles?
The platysma, the broad muscle supporting the neck, weakens and separates toward both sides, causing overall sagging and overlapping skin that forms wrinkles.

Retaining ligament
Buccal fat
The SMAS is a fibromuscular layer deep in the face, between subcutaneous fat and muscle.
Lifting the SMAS, which contributes to skin sagging, provides a more effective neck-lift result.
