Platysmoplasty

Platysmoplasty (neck plasty) is an operation aimed at improving the neck contours via suturing separated edges of the cervical muscle (platysma) at the middle line.

Unlike an isolated neck liposuction, platysmoplasty requires an additional 4-mm long incision to be made in the submental fold, which will be healed with forming a highly cosmetic scar.

Platysmoplasty specific features include:

• The possibility of being combined with the neck liposuction;
• The possibility of performing parallel neck skin lifting.

Should you decide to undergo a plastic operation the Medical Club clinic surgeons will give you a primary consultation. After talking to you and giving you the relevant examination, a doctor will set forth his (her) judgment as to whether it is possible to considerably improve your neck contours surgically with high reliability and minimal risks. Any aesthetic surgery involves a certain trade-off. Our specialists will clearly define this trade-off for you and will answer all the questions that may arise.

• In the Medical Club clinic platysmoplasty is performed under general anesthesia (narcosis).
• The duration of operation will depend on its volume, and operation itself will last from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Your stay at the clinic is a day long in the average.
• Immediately after the operation a special modeling “Steri-Strip” or “Micropore” plasterer will be applied to the correction area and will remain in place for 2-5 days.
• Sutures are removed at 7-10 postoperative day.
• Approximately in 4-5 days you will be able to come back to your usual life.
• You are not recommended to attend sauna and solarium for a month.
• At the early postoperative period a physician-rehabilitator will make up for you and conduct your personal rehabilitation program, which will shorten your recovery period and improve surgical result.
• An ultimate result of operation may be assessed in 1-2 months.
