Cervicoplasty can also be used for cosmetic reasons. It is safe and can give women a more natural, attractive figure. Cervicoplasty can be dangerous. There are risks associated with cervicoplasty, including damage to nerves in the mandible that can be injured frequently during the procedure. In addition, anesthesia is necessary for the procedure.
Postoperative view after cervicoplasty
The Giampapa approach for anterior cervicoplasty is slightly different than the Giampapa. There is more suture suspension required and liposuction is needed. The incision is long and covers the anterior neck triangle, as well the anterior borders of sternocleidomastoid Muscles. The surgeon makes a submental cut, which allows access to the supraplatysma or interdigastric compartments. In addition, a long suture is used for an anterior approach.
This postoperative view shows the improvement in the appearance of the neck, jawline and neck. There are very few scars and the cervicomental angle improved to 95 degrees.
Platysmaplasty
A type of cervicoplasty called platysmaplasty tightens, shapes and shapes the muscles within the cervix. It can be performed through a small incision in the submental area. Platysmaplasty can correct several different issues, and the surgeon will perform the procedure according to the needs of the patient.
The Platysmaplasty may also be combined to a neck lift. A small incision below the chin will be made. The surgeon will then reposition the platysma muscles. The incisions are closed with stitches or gauze. Other procedures, such as platysmaplasty and shoulder shaping, can be done.
Anesthesia for cervicoplasty
Cervicaloplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that improves the appearance of the neck and chin. During this procedure, the surgeon uses an incision under the chin to lift and cut back the skin. The surgeon then secures the area with sutures. An anesthetic is used to keep the patient comfortable throughout the procedure.
The procedure takes approximately two to four hours. Postoperative care involves wearing a compression garment, elevating the neck, and taking pain medication and antibiotics. Patients should avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity for the first few weeks. After the procedure, the incisions can be bandaged. For the first week after surgery, patients should wear a neck collar. Patients may return to their usual activities four weeks later.
Recovery time after cervicoplasty
Individual patients will have a different recovery time. Most patients can resume normal activities within two weeks, but some patients will need to be restricted from strenuous activity for up to four weeks. You should refrain from engaging in sex and any activity that raises your heart rate during this period.
The patient will experience swelling and bruising for up to four weeks after cervicoplasty. The recovery time depends on the complexity of the surgery. The procedure can take between two and four hours depending on the type of anesthesia used. The compression bandage will be applied to the patient and they should rest for a few more days. To minimize the risks of the surgery, follow the instructions of the surgeon.
Cervicoplasty costs
If you are unhappy about the appearance of your neck's sagging skin, then Cervicoplasty may be an option. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and tissue to create a smoother neck. Like liposuction, cervicoplasty can be expensive, but it falls into a lower price range than neck lift surgery. Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery offers a low-cost neck lift and many of its doctors have extensive experience in this procedure.
Cervicoplasty costs typically range between $3,000 to $5,000. Most health insurance plans do not cover the procedure. All expenses associated with the procedure will be borne by the patient.
