Platysmoplasty - neck plastic surgery

Even if, thanks to the efforts of competent, experienced surgeons, the face looks like it is in its thirties, the neck will always show age-related changes. If these changes become too noticeable, it’s time to seek the help of plastic surgeons and correct all the imperfections, making the neck visually younger and more attractive.

The operation to correct age-related changes in the cervical area is called platysmoplasty, because of the name of the cervical muscle - platysma. During this surgical intervention, excess skin is tightened, wrinkles are corrected, and sagging muscles are strengthened. This technique is called Neck lift.

Cervicoplasty – price and surgical techniques

Every woman dreams of a thin, graceful neck and a straight chin, but with age it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Cervicoplasty in Moscow is performed by an experienced plastic surgeon Sergei Anatolyevich Demin and is aimed at restoring the smooth contours of the neck and rejuvenating the lower third of the face. The operation allows a woman to feel attractive again, has a short rehabilitation period and a long-lasting aesthetic effect.

Alternative to surgery

Classic facelift is used today in exceptional cases. It has been replaced by innovative rejuvenation techniques that solve problems in a comprehensive manner and without long-term rehabilitation - Mendelssohn lifting, SMAS lifting, check-lifting and endotin lifting.

Additionally, your doctor may recommend combining a circumferential neck lift with a medial neck lift to create an acute cervical-mental angle.

You can make high-quality correction of age-related changes in clinics. The doctor will select a technique for the best aesthetic effect, talk about the intricacies of the procedure and advise on the cost.

More details about the operation

Cervicoplasty is a lifting operation aimed at removing excess skin from the cervical region to eliminate the manifestations of physiological aging, as well as after intensive weight loss.

The cervical area is the calling card of every woman and requires special attention after thirty years, when the first wrinkles and other age-related changes gradually begin to form.

With cervicoplasty, the operation involves the upper third of the neck and chin area, including the lower part of the face. In addition to classic skin tightening, the doctor performs liposuction if the fat layer is excessively expressed and disrupts the relief, increasing the volume.

The purpose of cervicoplasty is:

creating natural skin tension
wrinkle removal
elimination of epidermal furrows
increasing skin tone
double chin correction
formation of an acute chin-cervical angle
creation of a clear facial (facial) contour
rejuvenation of appearance.

The anatomical features of the structure of the cervical zone and the close location of large arterial trunks and internal organs require high professionalism of the doctor. Neck plastic surgery at Dr. Demin’s clinic guarantees the achievement of an amazing transformation result with a high level of safety and quality of aesthetic surgery at every stage of treatment.

A little about anatomy to understand the techniques

Why is a special approach required for cervicoplasty? The structure of the skin in the cervical region is significantly different from the rest of the body and face. Neck plastic surgery in Moscow by a plastic surgeon with extensive experience allows you to create the necessary skin tone without losing the naturalness of the relief and contour.

The skin of the cervical region consists of three layers:

surface epithelium, delimiting internal structures from factors of external aggression
dermis containing a large number of microcapillaries
hypodermis, consisting of adipose tissue, which provides energy nutrition to the cells of the outer layers of the epidermis.

The epithelium consists of a layer of horny scales and a basement membrane, under which is the dermis. Epithelial cells (epidermocytes) are connected to each other using intercellular connections - desmosomes, which ensure the continuity and smoothness of the skin.

The number of connective tissue fibers in the dermis determines the degree of elasticity and firmness of the skin. Sufficient production of collagen and fibrinogen by reticulocytes guarantees the maintenance of normal tone necessary for high-quality skin tension.

The epidermis of the cervical region is significantly thinner and more delicate than the rest of the body surface - the hypodermis layer contains a minimal amount of adipose tissue, which causes rapid depletion of energy resources. In addition, the skin has a small number of connective tissue constrictions that attach it to the underlying structures.

In other words, the skin on the neck covers the underlying subcutaneous muscle, but is not attached to it, which means that there is insufficient volume of blood vessels between the two layers. Between the subcutaneous muscle (platysma) and the epidermis there is a space that fills with adipose tissue if a woman gains excess weight.

Neck skin tightening is indicated for women who are overweight or after losing weight, when massive folds form against the background of soft tissue ptosis. Sergey Anatolyevich performs cervicoplasty using special techniques that guarantee quick recovery and a long-lasting rejuvenating effect.

Age options

What do middle-aged and older patients want? This is not only the elimination of excess fatty tissue or strands on the neck, but also the restoration of a clear line of the facial contour and the elimination of sagging, folds of skin, not only on the neck, but also in the “jowl” area.

In this case, not only liposuction and/or platysmoplasty is required, but also skin tightening. Correct and beautiful tightening of the skin on the neck can only be done in conjunction with SMAS face lifting. But even for older patients, such an operation can be performed without the use of long incisions (the seam will be “hidden” in the fold behind the ear).

Why does the cervical region age?

It is difficult for a woman to determine for herself when surgical neck surgery becomes necessary; prices in Moscow from Dr. Demin start from 45,000 rubles. During the consultation, the doctor will assess the condition of the skin and muscles, give recommendations and, if there are indications for cervicoplasty, determine the date of the operation.

During the examination, it is extremely important to take into account problems in the woman’s body that could trigger the aging process and accelerate it. The main degenerative changes associated with age occur as the production of collagen fibers decreases and the skin gradually sagging.

However, the anatomical features of this area explain why in many women, neck folds appear earlier than facial wrinkles. Thin, delicate skin receives insufficient blood supply due to the low number of blood vessels, and if a woman suffers from poor posture, the situation is significantly aggravated.

First, the facial contour begins to sag, after which a second chin is formed and the chin-cervical angle is flattened. As dystrophic changes increase, a cervical pocket with a fat layer is formed, irreversibly deforming the contour of the chin, making the woman’s profile heavier.

A deficiency of the hypodermis and a low number of sebaceous glands of the skin leads to rapid drying and peeling of the cervical area, which leads to the formation of transverse soft wrinkles and then deep folds. In the depths of the skin fold, epidermal grooves are formed - breaks in the epithelium, in places where desmosomal connections have been broken.

Cervicoplasty is effective for the skin component of aging, that is, before the formation of rough skin bags, when deep horizontal folds form. Such changes are associated with prolapse of the subcutaneous muscle; only combined platysmaplasty .

The doctor’s clinic performs all types of plastic surgery, including neck cervicoplasty, the price starts at 45,000 rubles, depending on the combination of techniques used. For young girls, cervicoplasty is indicated after rapid weight loss, when the skin does not have time to shrink in response to the decreased volume.

When to seek help from a plastic surgeon?

A neck lift in a Moscow clinic is performed on women with subjective complaints about their appearance, when self-confidence is lost due to aesthetic unattractiveness.

Age-related changes in the cervical region with massive ptosis of the epidermis cannot be hidden and women begin to wear closed clothes with a high collar or voluminous scarves.

Indications for cervicoplasty are:

facial contour deformation
jowl formation
double chin
smoothness of the chin-cervical angle
neck bag
flabbiness, laxity of the epidermis
transverse wrinkles and skin folds
decreased tone, drooping of the skin towards the collarbones.

Neck and chin plastic surgery is performed only under endotracheal anesthesia with complete anesthesia. Cervicoplasty lasts from one to three hours and is performed by Sergei Anatolyevich using the latest surgical materials and foreign anesthesia drugs with a high level of clinical safety.

Particular attention should be paid to the fact that a neck lift with threads is not only completely ineffective , but in many cases it aggravates the problem of skin wrinkling by intensifying degenerative processes.

Plastic surgery performed by an experienced plastic surgeon guarantees a long-lasting and lasting result of rejuvenation, in which a woman again becomes attractive and self-confident.

Who is suitable for a neck lift?

This operation is indicated primarily for those who want to eliminate “sagging” of the neck caused by age-related changes or due to significant weight loss.
Or maybe such changes occurred as a result of genetic predisposition. This surgical intervention can be performed either independently or in combination with other plastic procedures or surgeries.

Indications for neck lift surgery are:

sagging neck tissue and a large number of deep wrinkles (neck wrinkles), which are ring-shaped;
pronounced double chin;
loss of the angular contour of the lower jaw between the neck and chin;
location in the middle sections of the neck of two pronounced drooping folds;
a small chin and lack of a clear contour, while a wide neck and a blurred contour of the lower jaw.

The platysmoplasty operation allows you to create an ideal neck and chin contour, get rid of various wrinkles and stretched skin. The results of the procedure can last from 5 to 10 years.

There are a number of contraindications to this surgical intervention:

diabetes mellitus;
pregnancy and lactation periods;
neoplasms;
epilepsy;
the presence of pronounced scar-type deformities;
infectious diseases;
blood clotting problems;
chronic diseases in acute stages;
the presence of endocrine diseases;
hypertension.

Contraindications for neck plastic surgery are similar to contraindications for all plastic surgeries and are discussed individually in consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Preparation for cervicoplasty

When wrinkles and folds begin to treacherously reveal a woman’s age, neck plastic surgery . Prices in Moscow from Sergei Anatolyevich depend on the severity of the changes and the methods used during cervicoplasty.

Before setting a date for surgery, the doctor collects all detailed information about the patient, including the expected result after plastic surgery. The presence of a history of chronic pathology requires careful monitoring of the frequency and severity of exacerbations in order to perform plastic surgery without relapse of diseases.

Primary preparation for cervicoplasty begins with an examination by a plastic surgeon, who determines the degree of sagging of the skin, its general condition and changes in the underlying tissues. This is necessary to develop a plastic surgery strategy in order to achieve the most effective transformation result, taking into account the anatomical and physiological nuances of the patient.

As a result of the examination, the doctor issues a referral for laboratory testing, blood donation and urine collection. The analysis reveals acute or chronic pathology of internal organs and systems, carbohydrate metabolism disorders and systemic diseases. Urinalysis reflects the condition and function of the kidneys, excretory and concentration functions.

A chin and neck lift is carried out after consultation with a therapist to confirm the health of the heart and vascular system, the absence of progressive pathology and severe decompensatory conditions. A similar approach reduces the risk of complications after plastic surgery and a difficult rehabilitation period.

Postoperative period

Recovery after neck surgery takes about two weeks. During this period, there are bruises, swelling, and minor pain in the area of the operation. Due to the swelling, it may seem that a double chin and jowls have formed again, but after a couple of weeks this goes away.

Contraindications

A neck lift is generally recognized as a simple operation and does not have a wide range of contraindications. Plastic surgery is performed after complete recovery from an acute respiratory infection or relapse of bacterial inflammation. A recovery period of at least a month is required after purulent lesions of the skin, since the risk of developing postoperative abscesses and sepsis is high.

Contraindications to cervicoplasty:

ARVI, flu, colds
purulent pathology, vesiculopustulosis
exacerbation of mycotic infection
severe blood diseases
cardiovascular failure
renal dysfunction
undergoing rehabilitation treatment.

Cervicoplasty is postponed for six months after the end of the lactation period to restore normal hormone balance. This is necessary to synthesize a sufficient amount of collagen to tone the epidermis and muscles in order to avoid the recurrence of wrinkles and folds.

The list of indications for RF lifting is extensive:

gravitational ptosis at the initial stage of development;
photoaging;
fuzzy oval face, which has caused age-related changes;

formation of folds of medium depth in the area of the nasolabial triangle;
small, medium, mesh facial and age wrinkles;
pronounced jowls;
fading facial skin in need of professional care;
shallow scars, acne scars.

Contraindications to the RF lifting procedure are conventionally divided into temporary and absolute. The first type includes:

pregnancy, breastfeeding;
period;
acute viral infection, colds, accompanied by fever, fever;
fungal or bacterial infection;
exacerbation of chronic diseases;
chronic dermatoses of different localization;
acne, purulent and inflammatory wounds in areas exposed to heat.

Types of cervicoplasty

Lifting the cervical area is divided into several types of surgical techniques, depending on the degree of changes and age-related deformities.

Cervicoplasty is divided into:

chin and mandibular
plastic surgery of the chin-cervical angle
tightening of the cervical region in the middle and lower third
complex plastic surgery of all zones.

Women who have lost self-confidence due to age and pronounced cervical folds will benefit from neck plastic surgery; prices depend on the lifting methods used. For example, in case of severe ptosis of the skin and muscle fibers, not only cervicoplasty is required, but also pexy of the subcutaneous muscle - mentoplasty.

Cost of the procedure

The price for lifting the neck and décolleté depends on the volume of the product / number of threads / number of laser flashes. The doctor will suggest during the consultation how the rejuvenation will be carried out. Our specialists take into account the individual characteristics of the patient - age, skin condition, contraindications - to create the most effective transformation scheme.

Method	Price
Plasmolifting	from 9,000 rub.
Collagen rejuvenation	from 12,000 rub.
Lipolytic injections	from 6,500 rub.
Thread rejuvenation (bionithreads)	from 900 rub. for 1 thread

Cervicoplasty: beginning of the operation

Women who are thinking about improving their appearance for the first time ask the question of how much a neck lift costs. In Moscow, with Sergei Anatolyevich, the cost starts from 45,000 rubles, combined with the shortest rehabilitation period and maximum comfort during treatment.

Plastic surgery begins with the treatment of the skin in the area of the surgical field, after the patient has been given endotracheal anesthesia. Then, using a scalpel, the doctor makes small incisions. For cervicoplasty, the following incision locations are used:

in the mental fossa
in front of the ear tragus
from the temple to the area behind the ear along the hair growth zone
from the temporal zone to the back of the head.

The size of the surgical wound is determined by the severity of the surgical operation and the degree of age-related deformities. The smaller the incision, the higher the likelihood that there will be no traces left after the operation. However, due to the fact that the doctor uses only innovative foreign suture materials, his patients are left with no scars even after massive cervicoplasty.

Plastic surgery of the chin and facial contour

When a severe double chin forms, a combined plastic surgery is performed; in this case, special attention is paid to a neck lift, since with minimal surgical intervention there is a powerful lifting effect in several zones.

If the patient has increasing age-related changes without the initial deformation of the chin, local cervicoplasty is performed with access in the mental fossa, covered by a natural fold.

In cases where there are several defects (protruding or small chin), or a desire to change the shape, additional mentoplasty and lifting of the lower facial third are performed.

At the clinic, doctors perform all types of surgical treatment, and the combination of several operating techniques allows one to achieve truly phenomenal transformation results. A chin lift begins with a small incision of up to 1-3 cm, through which the doctor inserts an endoscope equipped with special attachments.

Chinplasty is the most gentle and eliminates deformations of the chin area and facial contour. For severe, rough wrinkles in the cervical area, other types of cervicoplasty are used.

Endoscopic plastic surgery is less traumatic for tissues, allows preserving microvasculature vessels and allows for better exfoliation of subcutaneous fat. After inserting the endoscope, the doctor separates the skin flap from the upper and lower parts from the horizontal incision.

After the free edge of the skin flap is formed, tension is applied to the lower edge towards the incision to tighten the weakened skin upward. This creates the necessary pressure on the fibers, straightening out the wrinkled areas. The tensioned flap is attached with several sutures to the aponeurotic cord.

The doctor then begins to pull the top, increasing pressure on the outer edges of the flap, sculpting a smooth and thin facial contour. Once the correct tension has been created, a portion of the skin flap remains to be completely removed.

Laser coagulation of blood vessels is aimed at stopping bleeding from dissected capillaries without compromising the integrity of the remaining vessels of the microvasculature. This helps maintain sufficient blood supply after fixation of the skin.

The inner layer of the epidermal flap is sutured with longitudinal sutures, the outer layer is sutured with transcutaneous sutures to reduce the likelihood of scar tissue growth. For women who have undergone cervicoplasty, before and after photos demonstrate stunning rejuvenation, thinning of volume and restoration of attractive appearance.

Prices for neck and chin plastic surgery in Moscow

Many medical institutions perform neck platysmaplasty surgeries, citing different prices. They are formed based on the qualifications of the clinic, the competence of specialists, the availability of equipment and materials of appropriate quality.

Medical plastic surgeons have extensive experience and perform platysmoplasty, or neck lift, at affordable prices, using the most modern medical materials and the latest equipment. These factors, as well as the patient’s compliance with all the specialist’s instructions, allow us to obtain an impeccable result and eliminate the likelihood of complications.

Plastic surgery of the chin-cervical angle

Cervicoplasty of the cervical pocket begins with determining the tone of the skin and the amount of fatty tissue located in it. Tightening sagging skin in many cases begins with preliminary liposuction to remove the tension of the skin by adipose tissue.

This will help predict the expected outcome in patients who need a neck lift. The doctor makes longitudinal incisions in front of the ears in the natural fold, after which the fatty tissue is removed through special cannulas.

After removing the fat, the doctor releases the skin flap that has undergone deformation changes. Loose, flabby skin requires special treatment and preservation of more blood vessels for rapid recovery in the postoperative period.

With the edges free, the surgeon begins to pull the skin flap toward the ears to create tension and remove the neck pocket. To maintain a natural appearance, it is sometimes necessary to additionally cut the tensioned flap with transverse cuts, which makes it possible to sculpt the chin-cervical angle.

Regardless of the degree of ptosis of soft tissues and the amount of fatty tissue, a neck lift will help restore beauty and aesthetics to a woman; the operation is completed after removing excess skin and suturing the surgical wound.

Transcutaneous sutures made using absorbable threads do not leave scars or any signs of the surgery, which is extremely important for women of any age.

Efficiency of the procedure

The first results after RF lifting become noticeable after a certain time. The effectiveness of the procedure is undeniable:

improvement of skin color;
increasing density, firmness, elasticity;
smoothing out small and medium wrinkles;
microrelief leveling;
elimination of sagging and dryness;
rejuvenation and tightening of soft tissues in areas affected by gravitational ptosis;
disappearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes.

After the procedure, the skin becomes radiant, smooth, elastic, healthier and younger. During radiofrequency rejuvenation, the integrity of the skin is not compromised, so rehabilitation is not prescribed after therapy. To maintain the effect of the procedure, it is important to follow the cosmetologist’s recommendations regarding skin care and use cosmetics prescribed by the doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient’s body.

Plastic surgery of the cervical region in the middle and lower part

Women have a tendency to overstretch tissue, which is associated with hormonal-dependent features of collagen synthesis. Therefore, sagging of the skin occurs without stretching the muscle fibers, deep wrinkles form in the cervical area, which only skin plastic surgery of the neck can help get rid of, photos before and after of which reflect the results of the operation.

In this case, an incision is made from the lower edge of the temporal region to the space behind the ear or the occipital zone, hiding it along the hairline. Such a significant length of the incision is due to the need to detach a large skin flap.

The doctor separates the epidermis from the underlying tissue, removes part of the subcutaneous fatty tissue and creates an area for subsequent tension. The lift begins from the bottom, the edges of the skin are fixed to the aponeurotic cord with special sutures, this allows the most natural restoration of blood circulation and continuity of the skin.

After correcting the lower and middle parts of the skin flap, the doctor begins to carefully tighten the upper edge, the tension of which is aimed at improving the facial contour and forming a smooth, sharp chin. After preliminary fixation, the doctor applies strong sutures, completing the operation by suturing the wound using the transcutaneous method.

Hardware RF face lifting

Hardware RF lifting of the face and neck is carried out using special equipment that generates electrical impulses or a high-frequency electromagnetic field. Thanks to this effect, soft tissues are heated to a temperature of 41 - 45 ° C, which leads to compression of fibrillar protein, which is the basis of connective tissues and is responsible for the firmness, tightness and elasticity of the skin. In addition, the radio wave rejuvenation procedure affects subcutaneous fat tissue, breaking it down and launching the natural processes of weight loss and tightening.

The effect after manipulation becomes most pronounced after 4 – 6 months. Radio waves help activate the production of collagen and elastin fibers, which, as they accumulate, restore firmness, elasticity, and youth to the epidermis.

Depending on the intensity and depth of impact, the following types of radio lifting are distinguished:

Monopolar. Manipulations are carried out with a nozzle equipped with one electrode, and the second is put on the upper or lower limb. The radiation penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis, destroys local fat deposits and has a rejuvenating effect. The procedure is performed only once, because the harm caused when repeated may exceed the positive effect. The power of the device for monopolar RF lifting is 150 – 300 W.
Biopolar. The attachment for biopolar radiolifting is equipped with two electrodes, so the procedure is considered a more delicate method of rejuvenation. The energy generated by the device passes through soft tissue from electrode to electrode, without affecting the deep layers of the epidermis. Biopolar lifting is ideal for correcting age-related changes on the face, neck, and décolleté. There is no magnetic field here, the manipulations are painless, and the result is noticeable after the first session. The average power of the device is 30 – 60 W.
Multipolar. The nozzle is equipped with at least three electrodes, of which only two simultaneously generate radio waves. Energy penetrates into the deep layers of the dermis, influencing in different directions. This type of lifting is considered the safest, most effective, ideal for rejuvenating the face, neck, and décolleté. The power of the device for multipolar lifting is 15 W.

Like any other cosmetic rejuvenating procedure, RF lifting of the face, neck and décolleté has its advantages and disadvantages. Among the poles we can distinguish the following:

comfort, painlessness, low trauma;
The technique is non-invasive, so the risks of any bacterial infection are excluded;
the results of the procedure can be assessed after the first session;
the effect lasts for a long time - from 1 year or more;
there are no significant side effects;
The technique is suitable for any skin type;
rehabilitation after manipulation is not required.

But do not forget about the disadvantages:

presence of contraindications;
the effect of manipulations in people over 45 years of age lasts no more than 1 year;
development of side effects such as hyperemia, swelling in persons with hypersensitive skin.

Complex neck plastic surgery

If the degree of sagging skin has reached its maximum severity, a neck lift is performed, the prices of which depend on the techniques and strategies of cervicoplasty used. When the cervical area is covered with large transverse wrinkles and horizontal epidermal grooves, complex plastic surgery .

Incisions are made in several locations at once - along the edge of hair growth and in the chin fossa. The resulting excess skin is removed from the edges to the center, the doctor fixes the resected edge to the connective tissue cords located under it.

The last step is to remove the epidermis in the area of the chin incision. In some cases, classic cervicoplasty is complemented by resection of fatty formations located under the platysma. This is necessary for severe excess weight or uneven weight loss, when excess fat in the cervical area persists.

Patients who have undergone a neck lift leave reviews on Sergei Anatolyevich’s website, where they share their opinions after the operation and the overall result of the plastic surgery. As a rule, the aesthetic effect of rejuvenation is extremely pronounced, wrinkles are completely smoothed out, the skin becomes even and smooth, and the facial contour is clear.

If during the consultation it becomes clear that simple cervicoplasty with skin tightening will not give the desired result, the surgeon recommends undergoing SMAS - muscle fiber pexy. In this case, liposuction is performed to reduce the volume and improve the relief of the cervical region.

Should I think about additional procedures?

Each neck and face lift surgery is unique. And each time, the surgeon, together with the patient, discusses the goals of the operation and expectations from it. Therefore, a neck rejuvenation surgery plan is drawn up for each specific patient on an individual basis. If, for example, the patient has a full face, then a simple skin tightening in the neck area may not be effective. In addition to a lift, it may be necessary to remove fat under the chin and in the cheek area, followed by plastic surgery of the neck and face. A full complex of neck and face rejuvenation includes plastic surgery of the lower and upper eyelids, correction of facial contours, neck lift, forehead lift, and liposuction of individual facial areas. Such a complex rejuvenating operation can be performed in one step. This will save both the patient’s time and money.

Rehabilitation

After cervicoplasty, recovery is quick and without significant pain. One of the least traumatic operations is a neck lift; photos before and after the operation demonstrate rapid tissue repair, the absence of scar changes and connective tissue constrictions.

The patient is put on a special compression skin corset, which tightens the operated area for normal “growth” of vascular tissue and healing of sutures. Initially, after plastic surgery, slight swelling and discomfort may persist during active movements.

Antibacterial drugs and medications that reduce the production of inflammatory enzymes are prescribed to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. During this period, you should strictly monitor the cleanliness of clothing adjacent to the surgical area.

It is important to limit physical activity and avoid overstraining muscles and stretching the skin. The sutures are treated until complete healing, after which the compression corset is removed for subsequent independent healing of the tissue.

Cervicoplasty allows you to forget about age-related deformities of the cervical region for a long time, feel self-confident and improves the quality of life of patients. After plastic surgery, you no longer need to worry about wearing closed clothes, scarves or headscarves - every woman can become attractive and sexy again!

Rehabilitation after surgery

For the first time after surgery, you will need to wear a modeling bandage applied by a doctor and a special corset that helps maintain a straight position of the head and neck to prevent deformities. The bandage remains for several days. The corset is removed within a day; in the future, it will need to be worn during sleep.

The doctor prescribes antibiotics to exclude the possibility of inflammatory processes, and painkillers if necessary. Additional procedures may also be prescribed to help accelerate tissue healing and restoration of the body. An ultrasound device stimulates the production of collagen and elastin fibers, and microcurrent therapy helps improve blood circulation. Physiotherapy may generally be indicated five days after surgery.

During the recovery period, tissue swelling and hematoma formation may be observed. This is a normal reaction of the body, and in this case there is no need to worry. The sutures are removed a week after the intervention. Thanks to the low-traumatic technique, postoperative scars are practically invisible. After six months, the scar tissue lightens and almost blends in tone with the surrounding skin.

During rehabilitation, you must follow the prohibitions and recommendations of your surgeon, since the final effect directly depends on this. As with many other plastic corrections, you should not visit a solarium, bathhouse, sauna, or neck massage (except acupressure) for two to three months. For the first five days, it is advisable to refrain from washing your hair and using cosmetics. It is also necessary to treat access points with antiseptic agents. And, of course, limit sports and physical activity.
