Платизмопластика - Медичний центр "Доктор Дрога"

About the service

A neck lift, also known as platysmaplasty, provides a smoother and firmer appearance to the skin under the chin and neck that has lost elasticity.

An elegant neck contour is associated with a youthful appearance, health, and vitality.

A neck lift, or platysmaplasty, is a procedure in which excess skin is removed from the neck area and the remaining skin is repositioned and tightened. The desired effect of this operation is to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as to give the neck a more youthful appearance with a sharper angle under the chin.

Platysmaplasty can be performed without any other plastic surgery procedure performed on the face, although it is often performed in conjunction with other procedures such as a facelift or liposuction. Factors that can affect the appearance of your neck over time include aging, heredity, and weight loss.

To perform platysmaplasty, small incisions are made around the ears and/or below the chin. The skin around the neck is then tightened and repositioned, and excess skin is removed. This procedure usually takes about 2-3 hours.

How the procedure is performed

Only the highest standards of beauty and health

01

First, you need to make an appointment for a consultation with a doctor, where you will be examined and the type of surgery will be determined. The plastic surgeon will answer all your questions in detail.

02

Platysmaplasty is performed on an outpatient basis, and you will be able to go home within a few hours after surgery. The areas where the surgeon makes incisions will be wrapped in bandages and drainage tubes may be used to reduce swelling and speed up the healing process.

03

There should be no major discomfort associated with platysmaplasty, but bruising, swelling, and numbness may occur after surgery. These symptoms should disappear in a few weeks. You should fully return to normal within 2-3 weeks.

wearing a compression bandage for 5-7 days to prevent displacement and stretching of the sutures;
regular dressings and examination until the sutures are completely removed
