The risks include nerve damage in the mandible and other nerve injuries that are common during the procedure. Additionally, anesthesia will be required.
Cervicoplasty: Postoperative view
The Giampapa method for cervicoplasty uses an anterior approach. However, this requires more suture suspension (liposuction) and is more difficult. The incision is broad, covering the anterior neck triangular and the anterior borders to the sternocleidomastoid musculature muscles. Submental incisions are made by the surgeon to allow access to the supraplatysma, interdigastric and other compartments. An anterior approach can be done with a long staple.
This postoperative view shows the improvement in the appearance of the neck, jawline and neck. There are no scarring and the cervicomental angle is now 95 degrees.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty a form of cervicoplasty tightens and shapes your cervix muscles. The procedure is performed by a small incision at the submental. A variety of issues can be corrected by platysmaplasty. The surgeon will adapt the procedure to suit the patient's needs.
Combining Platysmaplasty and a necklift can be done. A small incision will be made under the chin. The surgeon will then adjust the position of the platysma. The incision will be closed with stitches and gauze. You can also have platysmaplasty to alter the contour of your neck and shoulders.
Anesthesia for cervicoplasty
A procedure to improve the appearance of the neck or chin is called cervicaloplasty. During this procedure, the surgeon uses an incision under the chin to lift and cut back the skin. The incision is closed with sutures. In order to make the patient feel comfortable during the procedure, anesthesia is usually used.
It takes between two and four hours. Postoperative care includes wearing a compression shirt, elevating your neck, and taking pain medicine and antibiotics. Patients are advised to avoid any strenuous activities, sun exposure, and other intense activities for the first few months. The incisions will be bandaged after the procedure. For the first week following surgery, patients will need to wear a collar around their necks. After four weeks, patients can resume their daily activities.
Time to recover from cervicoplasty
Each patient's recovery time will vary. 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. During this time, you should avoid sex or any activity that elevates your heart rate.
After the cervicoplasty, the patient will experience bruising and swelling for two to four weeks. The complexity and duration of the surgery affects the recovery times. The recovery time can vary depending on the type and complexity of the surgery. It may take up to two hours. The patients will be fitted a compression bandage. They should rest for a few day. To minimize risks, patients should follow the surgeon's instructions during recovery.
