What can a plastic surgeon do for sagging neck skin?
To achieve tightening and reduce the appearance of an aging neck, the team at Romo Plastic Surgery will often recommend a neck lift, medically known as platysmaplasty surgery. Platysma refers to the muscles that are present on the front portion of the neck. During the platysmaplasty procedure, Dr. Thomas Romo III will remove excess skin and tighten the underlying muscles in the neck to smooth the area. At the same time, this procedure helps in shaping and contouring the jawline for a more defined appearance. The surgery addresses the entire area of the neck and jaw to eliminate these unsightly areas of aging.
Who is a good candidate for this procedure?
The best candidates for the platysmaplasty treatment are adult patients who are interested in addressing sagging neck skin due to aging, significant weight loss, or genetics. Patients should be men or women who are taking good care of their body and in good overall health and wellness.
What do I need to know about this procedure before moving forward?
- Some medications and supplements may need to be stopped a week or two prior to the procedure
- Patients should avoid supplements and anti-inflammatory drugs for approximately two weeks before their surgery
- Patients will need to plan time off of work and other activities until the area has healed properly
- Patients need to follow their postoperative care instructions closely to reduce the risk of complications such as infection
