Cervicoplasty is a common plastic surgery for a range of cosmetic reasons. It is safe and can give women a more natural, attractive figure. Cervicoplasty is not without risks. These include damage to the nerves that run through the mandible. They are often injured during surgery. Also, anesthesia is required.
Postoperative view after cervicoplasty
The Giampapa anterior approach to cervicoplasty has a different approach. It requires more suture suspension as well as liposuction. The incision is broad, covering the anterior neck triangular and the anterior borders to the sternocleidomastoid musculature muscles. The surgeon then makes a submental incision, allowing access to the supraplatysma and interdigastric compartments. An anterior approach is also possible using a long suture.
The postoperative view of the neck shows the improved appearance of the neck and jaw line. There are very few scars and the cervicomental angle improved to 95 degrees.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty can be a type cervicoplasty that tightens the muscles and shapes them. It can be performed through a small incision in the submental area. Platosmaplasty can address many issues. The surgeon will customize the procedure to meet the needs of each patient.
The Platysmaplasty may also be combined to a neck lift. The surgeon will make a small incision under the chin. The surgeon will then reposition the platysma muscles. The incisions are closed with stitches or gauze. Platosmaplasty is not the only procedure that can be used to enhance the shoulder and neck contours.
Anesthesia for cervicoplasty
A procedure to improve the appearance of the neck or chin is called cervicaloplasty. To lift and trim the skin, the surgeon will make an incision below the chin. The incision is closed with sutures. Anesthetic is usually administered to help keep the patient comfortable during the procedure.
The procedure can take between 2 and 4 hours. The patient will need to wear a compression garment and elevate the neck. They also need pain medication and antibiotics. In the first few weeks, patients must stay away from strenuous activities and sun exposure. After surgery, the incisions are bandaged. For the first week after surgery, patients should wear a neck collar. Patients can return to normal activities after four weeks.
After cervicoplasty, recovery time
Each patient's recovery time will vary. Most patients can return to work within two weeks. However some patients will require restraint for between three and four weeks. During this time, you should avoid sex or any activity that elevates your heart rate.
The patient will experience bruising and swelling up to two weeks following cervicoplasty. The recovery time depends on the complexity of the surgery. The length of the procedure depends on the type. After the procedure, patients will receive a compression bandage. Patients should rest for at least a few days. To minimize risks, patients should follow the surgeon's instructions during recovery.
Cost of cervicoplasty
The procedure of Cervicoplasty is for those who are unhappy at the appearance and feel of their neck. This surgery removes excess skin and tissue to give a smoother neck.
