Cervicoplasty, a common procedure for plastic surgery, can be performed for a variety of reasons. It is safe and can give women a more natural, attractive figure. Cervicoplasty has its risks. The risks include nerve damage in the mandible and other nerve injuries that are common during the procedure. Anesthesia is also required for this procedure.
Postoperative view of 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 wide, encompassing the anterior neck triangle and the anterior borders of the sternocleidomastoid muscles. The surgeon then makes the submental incision to access the supraplatysma (and interdigastric) compartments. A long suture can also be used to perform an anterior approach.
The neck's postoperative view shows the improved appearance and jaw line. There are very few scars and the cervicomental angle improved to 95 degrees.
Platysmaplasty
Platysmaplasty is a type of cervicoplasty that tightens and shapes the muscles in the cervix. It can be performed via a small submental incision. A variety of issues can be corrected by platysmaplasty. The surgeon will adapt the procedure to suit the patient's needs.
You can combine Platysmaplasty with a necklift. A small incision will be made under the chin. The surgeon will then remove the platysma muscular and realign it. The incision is closed with stitches and gauze. Other procedures, such as platysmaplasty and shoulder shaping, can be done.
Anesthesia for cervicoplasty
The procedure of cervicaloplasty improves the appearance and shape of the neck, chin, and jaw. In this procedure, the surgeon makes an incision underneath the chin to lift the skin and cut it back. The surgeon then secures the area with sutures. The patient is typically kept comfortable by an anesthetic.
The procedure takes two to four hours. Postoperative care includes wearing a compression shirt, elevating your neck, and taking pain medicine and antibiotics. Patients should avoid sun exposure and strenuous activity for the first few weeks. After the procedure, the incisions and wounds will be closed with bandages. The first week after surgery, patients are advised to wear a neck collar. Patients may return to their usual activities four weeks later.
Recovery time following cervicoplasty
Each patient's recovery time will vary. Patients can return to their normal activities in two weeks. However, some patients may need to refrain from strenuous activities for three or four weeks. Avoid sex and other activities that increase your heart rate.
The patient will experience bruising and swelling up to two weeks following cervicoplasty. The extent of the surgery will affect the recovery process. The recovery time can vary depending on the type and complexity of the surgery. It may take up to two hours. After the procedure, patients will receive a compression bandage. Patients should rest for at least a few days. To minimize potential risks after surgery, please follow the surgeon's instructions.
Cost of cervicoplasty
A cervicaloplasty procedure is available for people who are unhappy about the sagging neck skin. This procedure involves the removal of excess skin, tissue, and bone to create a smoother neck. Cervicoplasty, like liposuction can be costly, but it is much less expensive than neck surgery. Virginia Institute of Plastic Surgery can provide a lower-cost necklift, as many of their surgeons are experienced with this procedure.
The average cost of cervicoplasty ranges between $3,000 and $5,000. Most health insurance policies do not cover the procedure. All expenses associated with the procedure will be borne by the patient.
