A member asked:
Is it normal to have visible neck tendons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be: This observation is often due to normal anatomy. The platysma muscles run vertically in the neck and are strand-like enabling fine gradations of movement in turning the head. In some people you can see a prominent anterior edge. This is more likely in thin people with less fat/subcutaenous tissue bordering the muscles. Best to accept/embrace rather than consider plastic surgery.
