Neck lift surgery is performed in two ways.
The choice of equipment is determined individually and depends on the specific tasks:
Stages of the operation:
The neck lift surgery lasts about two hours. After the operation, the patient is in the clinic under the supervision of a doctor and junior medical staff for at least 1 day.
Recovery period after platysmoplasty takes 2-3 weeks. During this time, visible swelling, bruising subsides, skin sensitivity returns. The applied sutures are removed after 10 days.
For a speedy recovery after platysmoplasty, a course of skin biorevitalization is often recommended. Injections of drugs with a high content of hyaluronic acid will help the skin to tone faster, become more elastic and moisturized.
The final results of the operation can be evaluated three months after the operation, when the stage of internal tissue healing is completed.
The result of platysmoplasty will please the patient for 5-10 years.
Consultation with a plastic surgeon.
Conversation and detailed examination, determination of suitable tactics for correction, collection of anamnesis for the presence of contraindications.
Consultation with a therapist.
Analysis of the results of analyzes and studies to exclude contraindications to the operation. Consultation with an anesthesiologist. Determination of suitable anesthesia for neck plastic surgery.
General preparation. Before the operation, it is necessary to exclude drugs that thin the blood. If you take them, report it to the plastic surgeon. It is also necessary to exclude high physical exertion, not to drink any alcohol and stop smoking, as well as to minimize stress.
An alternative to surgery may be minimally invasive techniques.
For example, neck lift with cosmetic threads. This option is suitable if you are not ready for traumatic intervention, or it is contraindicated.
However, the effect of tightening with threads is much less - about two years.
