Platysmaplasty is a special secret of appearance rejuvenation

The secret of youth lies in the ability to maintain not only smooth facial skin, but also a slender, toned neck. Usually, the face gets a lot of skin care and rejuvenation procedures, but the neck often falls out of the attention of patients. At the same time, the skin on the neck is especially thin, sensitive and vulnerable, & nbsp; has a special structure, so that age-related changes are especially pronounced here. To change the appearance of the neck, to correct its superficial deformities will help plastic surgery to tighten the muscles – platysmaplasty.

What effect does platysmaplasty achieve

The operation to lift the neck and improve its contours is that the surgeon is faced with the task of correcting a special flat muscle - the platysma, which diverges spindle-shaped from the lower jaw towards the collarbones. With age, the tone of this muscle decreases, and the neck takes on a rather unaesthetic appearance. In addition to flabbiness and wrinkling, the skin on the neck begins to sag, and in some cases the edges of the muscle diverge to the sides and lead to the effect of the so-called turkey neck. But thanks to platysmaplasty, these troubles can be avoided.

The intervention of a plastic surgeon allows to achieve quite acceptable anti-aging results, with which patients are usually very satisfied:

• clear smooth outlines return to the neck and chin,
• the double chin is removed and the effect of the sagging neck is leveled,
• the divergence of the muscle ends is completely corrected, while the "turkey neck" disappears,
• the skin on the neck no longer looks flabby and wrinkled,
• there is a significant overall rejuvenation of the patient's appearance.

When planning a neck lift surgery, the patient should decide whether he wants to limit himself to platysmaplasty or is ready for a larger intervention with complex rejuvenation, which includes facial correction and, if necessary, liposuction. Despite the fact that an isolated intervention for neck correction is much simpler, usually the surgeon recommends approaching the rejuvenation of the appearance in the – in this case, the correction of appearance occurs more harmoniously.

How is platysmaplasty performed

For those who decide to undergo plastic surgery to improve the contours of the neck, it is very important to choose a doctor and clinic with sufficient experience in performing platysmaplasty. At the initial consultation, the surgeons of the Medical Club clinic will definitely answer all the questions of patients about the upcoming intervention and tell in detail how exactly the neck contours are corrected, what procedures it can be combined with to achieve the best results, and what kind of rejuvenating effect can be achieved after platysmaplasty in your particular case. . The method of neck contour correction is selected individually for each patient – depending on the condition of the skin and muscles, age, concomitant factors.

Platysmaplasty in the clinic Medical Club is performed under general anesthesia, the duration of the operation is on average about an hour – depending on the scope of the intervention. Through a small incision in the area of ​​the chin crease, the surgeon tightens the neck muscle and gives it a new position or connects and fixes its divergent edges. If necessary, excess skin and fat deposits are excised. Sutures are usually applied cosmetic, made of absorbable material, so they do not need to be removed later.

The duration of the patient's stay in the clinic is approximately one day. The neck correction zone after the operation is covered with a special modeling bandage – for 3-5 days, and then the patient is recommended to wear a support bandage for about two more weeks. Then the patient returns to normal life, but he will have to refrain from active sports, visiting the sauna and solarium for about a month. The rehabilitation specialist of the Medical Club clinic will create a special individual program for the recovery period, which will help speed up healing and avoid the risk of postoperative complications. The final result of platysmaplasty can be assessed after approximately three months.
