Okay, no reason to get panicked. I’m not talking about any rare disease that you might catch on the surgery table. It’s just plastic surgery lingo for a neck lift surgery which plastic surgeons can perform in combination with a chin surgery.
Platysmaplasty actually refers to the muscle tightening and removal function that is possible with this procedure. A cervicoplasty on the other hand, simply trims off the excess skin in the neck area. Depending on the complexity of the operation, a neck lift alone can be wrapped up in four hours maximum.
If performed during a mentoplasty or chin enhancement, the procedure will take longer; same goes for the recovery period. The incisions for a platysmaplasty surgery in particular, are made under the chin allowing the plastic surgeon to take care of both the chin region as well as the neck muscles (platysma).
If there is less work required in the neck region, the cosmetic surgeon can administer a combination chin enhancement surgery and neck lift surgery with the aid of an endoscope. The good thing about these devices is the incision wound which tends to be smaller.
The resulting scar formation and recovery is aided better if the patient has cut off smoking 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the cosmetic surgery procedure. The Plastic Surgery Institute of California checks up on the patient’s diet as well during the recovery period undergone for a chin surgery cum neck lift surgery.
