A woman's age is often given not by the face, as is commonly believed, but by the neck. That's where plastic surgery comes in.
Beauty and time are two eternal rivals, the conflict of which in most cases ends in the victory of the latter. At the same time, the areas of the décolleté and neck are mainly targeted. From her premature aging with the help of plastics. How to stop and which operations are considered the most effective - found out together with Igor Bely, a plastic surgeon, professor, doctor of medical sciences.
Why does the neck age earlier than other parts of the body?
The answer to this question lies in the peculiarities of human anatomy: under the skin of the neck is the platysma muscle, which is located in the center of the entire cervical surface (with the exception of a small triangular area in the middle) - from the clavicle. Lower border to the lower jaw.
The peculiarity of this muscle is that it is very wide, thin and is not attached to the bone, which means that with age it quickly loses elasticity and firmness. In addition, it is worth noting that it has few sebaceous glandsAnd fats tend to accumulate, which is why the skin of the neck is often prone to dryness and the rapid formation of wrinkles. So what can be done to maintain the youth and beauty of this vulnerable area?
It is worth noting that plastic surgery is not always required to eliminate problems in the cervical region. If you are not satisfied with the quality and texture of the skin or transverse wrinkles, it is better to first consult a beautician. But you need help of plastic surgeon to solvefollowing problems:
- Fat accumulation on the neck and chin (or other chin);
- characteristic (vertical) strands on the neck;
- Skin folds, excess fat, weak muscles.
If you find yourself with one or more of these symptoms, you are most welcome to consult a plastic surgeon.
liposuction
To solve the problem of excess fat and second chin, liposuction is performed - vacuum removal of adipose tissue through small punctures. After such an operation, young skin, as a rule, contracts on its ownWhile you only need to follow the surgeon's recommendations and wear a special elastic bandage for some time. If we are talking about surgery on aging skin, then liposuction SMAS liftBecause unlike young skin, aging skin is more difficult to contract on its own.
Platysmaplasty
Another problem is the vertical band on the neck, which occurs in patients of different ages with a lack of adipose tissue in the neck and chin. In this case, muscle tightening, or platysmaplasty, is required. This is a complicated operation, andWe call it a mini-lift simply because it is performed through a small incision and does not require long rehabilitation. You can go to work the day after surgery.
Platysmaplasty is almost always followed by a SMAS or Endotine facelift, or at least a major thread neck lift. The fact is that this mini-plasty completely heals the central region of the neck and almost does not affect the peripheral areasSMAS-Lift is necessary to make up for this significant shortcoming.
Platysmaplasty option
Of course, not all young girls are ready for such a major operation, and in this case there is another lifting method that allows you to do without surgical intervention and additional stitches. It consists in the factThat the muscles are pulled not to the central line of the neck, but to the periphery. So, you can get a more beautiful and complete neck lift effect without unnecessary incisions.
age option
What do middle-aged and older patients want? This is not only the elimination of excess adipose tissue or strands on the neck, but also the restoration of a clear line of the facial contour and the elimination of skin folds, not only on the neck, but also in the area. From "Brills".
In this case, not only liposuction and/or platysmaplasty is required, but skin tightening is also required. A perfect and beautiful skin tightening on the neck can be achieved with SMAS facelift as well. But for older patients too, Such an operation can be performed without the use of long incisions (the suture will be "hidden" in the crease behind the ear).
PSIf you are thinking about lifting the skin of the neck, do not forget that this area is not a separate part of the body that is not connected to the face, so often this procedure must be done to give a facelift. Most effective result. When choosing a specific method to solve a problem, it is best to consult a specialist.
