Neck Liposuction and Lifting
The age of a woman gives out not only wrinkles on the face, but also flabby sagging skin in the neck, in many cases forming a double chin. The skin of the neck in comparison with other parts of the body is more delicate and more difficult to influence all kinds of creams and other cosmetics. One of the best ways to radically solve this problem is plastic surgery to tighten the neck.
Neck liposuction
In this situation, a small incision is made under the chin, 3-4 mm long, after which excess fat is vacuum-removed. Especially popular is liposuction of the neck with the appearance of a double chin. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, the recovery period can take from 5 to 10 days. Often during a neck lift operation, the surgeon begins the procedure with liposuction of the chin area, as a stage of the operation.
Classic neck lifting
It can be carried out in conjunction with liposuction, the operation lasts about 2-3 hours in a hospital setting. The choice of a specific method of carrying out this surgical intervention depends on what specific result needs to be achieved. In any case, a neck lift involves the removal of excess skin and subcutaneous fat, as well as a tightening of the subcutaneous muscle of the neck.
Incisions in the chin area and behind the ears are made minimal and subsequently sewn with cosmetic sutures, which makes them almost invisible.
In order to determine which method of neck lifting is best to choose, it is necessary to consult a plastic surgeon who will help determine in this matter.
The operation is performed under local anesthesia or general anesthesia and lasts several hours. The main stages of this surgical intervention are as follows:
1. Treatment of the surgical field with appropriate antiseptic solutions.
2. Next, the surgeon makes several small skin incisions: in the chin area and behind the ears.
3. After that, the doctor tightens the superficial muscle of the neck (platysm) and gives it a new position, fixing it with several sutures. Also, during the neck lift, excess fat deposits and part of the skin are removed.
4. Then the surgeon sutures the wound, and if necessary, inserts drainage tubes.
5. The neck plasty ends with the application of an aseptic dressing to the wound.
In the first days after neck plastic surgery, pain can be observed, which is eliminated by taking appropriate painkillers. It is necessary to regularly make dressings and take antibacterial and painkillers. The resulting bruises and bruises resolve by the end of the second or third week. Removal of sutures is made in 1.5-2 weeks.
Faster recovery after a neck lift can be facilitated by microcurrent or ultrasound therapy, as a result of which blood circulation improves and healing is accelerated.
Within 3 weeks, it is necessary to refrain from sports activities, physical work that can increase blood pressure, and for 6 months - to abandon going to the sauna or bath.
