Dr. Srikanth V | Appointment booking no: 080 2552 0035, 94835 06268 Consultant Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon | Clinique Belle Koramangala, Bangalore What is platysmaplasty? Now what happens as we are growing old is our neck tends to sag it shanks around the chin around the jowls and at the same time because of effects of aging and because of the effects of gravity the muscle in the neck that is known as the platysma starts to sag. Also it starts forming bands in the neck you may see a couple of bands here and in the sides. This platysma is a muscle which goes from the shoulder bone the clavicle all the way up to the jaw bone. So it starts sagging and it forms bands in the platysmaplasty. What we do is to tighten these muscles to remove whatever stretching effects they have had with aging and grafting and so that the neck looks more and more youthful. Now platysmaplasty is a part of a necklift a necklift can include only a platysmaplasty wherein only the muscles are tightened or else we may tighten the skin and also remove some fat which adds to the jowls and to the aging of the neck. So therefore a necklift is a complete procedure which rejuvenates the entire neck and the platysmaplasty is very specific for loose sagging bands around the neck which is caused by a stretched out platysma it is possible to include a platysmaplasty with a neck lift in the platysmaplasty alone what we do is to tighten the muscles. Here there is a small incision put below the chin which is invisible and the muscles are tightened in a neck clip we may need to add an additional incision which is around the ear and near the hairline to tighten the skin and also maybe we will add a liposuction or a lipectomy that is excision of the fat around the lower chin to give a more youthful looking neck. So this is the basic difference between a platysmaplasty and a necklift. A necklift is a complete procedure where the platysmaplasty is a very specific procedure meant only to tighten the neck muscles. #expertskisuno #platysmaplasty #necklift
