Indications and contraindications
Indications for the procedure
Such surgical intervention is recommended for noticeable sagging skin. Additional indications for the procedure:
- Presence of fat deposits. In some cases, fat pads form on the neck. Their growth ultimately leads to the formation of the so-called “double chin.”
- Decreased tone of the flat muscle of the platysma neck. With age, it loses elasticity and this affects the contour of the neck.
Another indication for intervention is a violation of the clarity of the cervical-mental angle. It wears off due to various changes in the structure of the skin and subcutaneous tissues.
Types of braces
When the stretching of the platysma is not significant, a lateral approach is used. In this case, the surgeon applies tension in third directions - this helps to form clear contours of the lower part of the face. Incisions are usually made behind the ears and in the parietal area. This method is often combined with a circular facelift (SMAS lift).
Other ways:
It is used for significant sagging skin and deep divergence of the edges of the platysma. An incision is made under the chin, after which the skin and neck muscles are directed towards the center. This creates natural contours
It involves a combination of medial and lateral methods. This allows you to achieve optimal results, especially with large defects
A modern approach that uses an endoscope with a camera. This method provides the surgeon with precise visual control. This reduces the risk of tissue injury. The main advantages of the method include the almost complete absence of postoperative traces, reduced recovery time and the possibility of performing the intervention under local anesthesia
The choice of method and the extent of surgery depend on the patient’s age, his physiological characteristics, the degree of skin elasticity and the nature of the problematic changes.
General information
At what age should a facelift be done?
At 40+ years of age, many experience a loss of firmness and contour in the lower face and neck. The defect can be eliminated using laser rejuvenation and ultrasound.
Plastic surgery is recommended for women 50+ years old. However, a good alternative at this age are less invasive methods of rejuvenation, for example, special masks and exercises. A temporary but noticeable result is achieved by a neck lift using an elastic bandage.
Plastic surgery becomes the main solution after 65 years. Special creams and masks help maintain skin elasticity and prolong the rejuvenation effect after surgery.
Features of preparation
First of all, the doctor collects anamnesis. He is interested in the patient’s past and current illnesses and medications taken. This allows him to take into account all the risks.
Next, using special equipment, the level of skin elasticity is assessed, and the presence and distribution of fat deposits under the chin is determined. The features of the location of the platysma and other anatomical structures are also determined.
After this, the doctor talks in detail about how the lift will take place, and also informs the patient about the features of the postoperative period.
Progress of the operation
After anesthesia, the specialist makes a small incision in the area under the chin, and, if necessary, behind the ears. This minimizes the appearance of scars.
The main emphasis of the intervention is on correcting the platysma muscle, strengthening it, and removing excess fat. After this, the doctor carefully stitches the wound. The sutures are removed approximately 7-10 days after the procedure.
Features of the postoperative period
The body's normal reaction to surgery is slight swelling and bruising in the area of the lift. The defects usually disappear within the first week. To reduce swelling, the patient is recommended to wear a special support bandage for the first 5-7 days after surgery.
To achieve the best results and avoid possible complications, during the first month you should refrain from visiting the sauna, bathhouse, solarium and active physical activity.
The result of neck platysmaplasty becomes noticeable after about 1-2 months.
