Deep cervicoplasty, platysmaplasty – multidimensional rejuvenation of the neck

Multidimensional surgery with outstanding results! Platysmaplasty literally means “reconstruction of the neck muscles”. Historically for this kind of correction plastic surgeons performed technique called corset platysmaplasty. It focused on tightening the weakest part of the platysma muscle - under the chin.

As the development of corset platismaplasty Dr.Ramirez developed more complex surgery which is not only tighten platysma muscle but also improves an angle between neck and mandibular bone. This standard is now becoming a must have among TV stars and Instagram celebrities.

In The Platinental clinic in Moscow I routinely perform a deep-layer cervicoplasty (Hollywood neck lift). My 15 years clinical practice proved that this is the best way to improve face and neck regions in one surgical complex with long-lasting effect. This operation includes removing fat from the subplatysmal layer, plication of the the digastric muscles and separation of the platysma muscle. Ptosis of the submandibular gland is treated by suspension of the fascia with sutures. If skin quality is good in the neck region, there may be no need to perform skin resection (lateral SMAS lifting). Patients with poor skin quality or excessive skin on the neck and jawline will require an additional SMAS lifting (lateral only or full-face).

Recovery

I usually recommend keeping your head and neck still and elevated at all times for up to five-seven days. You are advised not to bend over or lift heavy objects although you should be able to return to work after seven to 10 days. Compression bandage around your face and neck is normally worn up to 4-5 days. It Is required to minimize swelling and bruising when your procedure is completed. A thin tube may be present to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect under the skin.

To speed up your recovery after Hollywood neck lifting we will recommend you individual physiotherapy program, performed by our experienced cosmetologists. This program might include nano-currency lymphatic drainage, LED therapy (photodynamic mask) and other highly effective procedures.

Cost

A Hollywood neck lifting alone typically costs between $4,000 and $5,000, depending on the patient and difficulty. However, a deep cervicoplasty often is done in combination with a SMAS lifting, which can bring the total to $15,000. All prices include anesthesia and overnight stay in The Platinental.
