Platysmaplasty — is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the neck, eliminating sagging skin, and tightening the platysma muscles. This operation is often performed in combination with a facelift to achieve a harmonious and rejuvenated look.
What Is Platysmaplasty?
Platysmaplasty focuses on the correction of the platysma — a thin muscle located under the skin of the neck. With age or as a result of weight loss, the skin on the neck becomes less elastic, and the muscles lose their tone, leading to the appearance of folds, "neck rings," and the "turkey neck" effect. This procedure helps eliminate these changes, restore defined neck contours, and harmonize the profile.
When Is Platysmaplasty Recommended?
Platysmaplasty may be indicated in the following cases:
- Sagging skin in the neck area.
- Loss of a defined angle between the chin and neck.
- The presence of "horizontal rings" or vertical bands on the neck.
- Excess fat deposits in the neck area.
- Overall discomfort due to the unaesthetic appearance of the neck.
How Is Platysmaplasty Performed?
The procedure consists of several stages:
-
Consultation and planning:
The surgeon assesses the condition of the neck, determines the degree of changes, and develops an individualized surgical plan. -
Anesthesia:
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. -
Surgical intervention:
- Incisions are typically made behind the ears and under the chin.
- The platysma muscles are tightened or sutured to eliminate vertical bands.
- Excess skin and fat tissue are removed if necessary.
- Liposuction may be performed to enhance contour definition.
-
Completion of the surgery:
Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and a compression bandage is applied to minimize swelling.
Recovery Period
Recovery after platysmaplasty is relatively quick. Key recommendations include:
- Wearing a compression bandage for the first 1–2 weeks.
- Avoiding physical exertion for 3–4 weeks.
- Refraining from abrupt neck movements and contact with hot water.
Swelling and bruising typically subside within 1–2 weeks, and the final result can be assessed in 2–3 months.
