A woman's age usually does not reveal her face, as is generally believed, but her neck. This is where plastic surgery comes in.
Beauty and time are two eternal rivals, but their confrontation ends in most cases with the victory of the latter. It is also primarily based on the neck and neck area. How to prevent its premature aging with the help of plastic and what procedures are considered the most effective - calculated together with a plastic surgeon, professor, doctor of medicine Igor Bely.
Why does the neck age earlier than other areas of the body?
The answer to this question lies in the peculiarities of human anatomy: beneath the skin of the neck is the platysma muscle, which is located in the center of the entire cervical surface (except for a small triangular area in the middle) - from the lower extremities to the lower jaw.
The peculiarity of this muscle is that it is very wide, thin and does not stick to the bone, which means that with age it quickly loses its softness and firmness. In addition, it should be noted that it has few sebaceous glands and fat deposits, therefore the skin on the neck is often prone to dryness and rapid wrinkle formation. So what can be done to maintain the youth and beauty of this delicate area?
It is interesting to note that plastic surgery is not always necessary to eliminate problems in the cervical region. If you are not happy with the quality and texture of the skin or transverse wrinkles, it is better to contact a beautician first. But you need the help of a plastic surgeon to resolvethe following problems:
- Fat deposits on the neck and chin (or other chin);
- Characteristic (vertical) threads on the neck;
- Skin folds, excess fat, weak muscles.
If you have found one or more of these symptoms in yourself, welcome to consult a plastic surgeon.
Fitusog
To solve the problem of excess fat and the second chin, liposuction is performed - vacuum removal of adipose tissue with small injections. After such an operation, young skin is usually given the opportunity to contract on its own, while you only need to follow the surgeon's advice and wear a special elastic bandage for a while. If we are talking about surgery on aging skin, liposuction should be done with an SMAS lift, because unlike young skin, it is difficult to contract aged skin alone.
Platysmaplasty
Another problem is vertical straps on the neck, which occur in patients of various ages with a lack of adipose tissue in the neck and chin. In this case, muscle tension, or platysmaplasty, is needed. This is a rather complicated operation and we call it a small lift only because it is performed through a small incision and does not require long-term rehabilitation. At the same time, you can hide a bruise on your neck with a scarf and you can go to work almost the next day after plastic surgery.
Platysmaplasty is almost always followed by SMAS or endothelial facelift, or at least a major thread lift. The fact is that this small plastic perfectly adjusts the central area of the neck and has almost no effect on the peripheral areas, which appear to be "sagging" after the operation. SMAS lifts are only necessary to make up for this significant defect.
Choice of platysmaplasty
Of course, not all young girls are ready for such an extensive operation, and in this case there is another lifting method that allows you to do without a thorough surgery and additional stitches. This means that the muscles are not pulled to the midline of the neck, but to the edge. So you can get a more beautiful and perfect neck lift effect without unnecessary cuts.
Age options
What do middle-aged and elderly patients want? This is not only the elimination of excess adipose tissue or threads on the neck, but also the restoration of a clear line in the outline of the face and the elimination of weakness, skin folds, not only on the neck but also in the area. of the "glasses".
In this case, not only liposuction and / or platysmaplasty is required but also skin tightening. Proper and beautiful skin tightening of the neck can only be done in conjunction with SMAS facelift. But even for older patients, such an operation can be performed without the use of a long incision (the seam will be "hidden" in the wrinkle behind the ear).
5 effective methods to perfect skin on neck and neck
Often, out of all the anti-aging measures, the neck and neck bone get at best remnants of night cream, or even nothing at all. But if you constantly ignore the needs of the skin in these sensitive areas, you can get the strange (and sometimes scary) unnatural effects of a youthful face on a flabby neck.
The first is the neck and décolleté areas, respectively, the areas from the chin to the collarbones and from the collarbones to the upper limit of the mammary glands (the one that is open after you put on the bra). The skin here is thin and sensitive, almost free of subcutaneous fat (especially on the breast), generally sensitive to dryness and sagging. Lack of care, lack of moisture, excessive use of sunburn, accustomed to sleeping on the side - various factors lead to the fact that at the age of 30, natural "Venus rings" on the neck can turn into an unsightly "wave" and coarse vertical wrinkles on the décolleté become a continuation ofdelicate seductive cleft palate. What needs to be done to prevent this from happening and what to do when problems are already visible on the horizon?

Age 20+
The skin on the neck and neck requires exactly the same comprehensive care as the skin of the face. If you start thinking about her health and condition in advance, you can avoid big problems in the future. So, one of the main reasons for the appearance of early wrinkles is dehydration of the skin. This is often due to active exposure to the sun. Remember that ultraviolet rays accelerate the aging of the skin many times over and protect it with creams with SPF filters (you should definitely do this in spring and summer)! Ideal for preventing dehydration at a young ageplasma lifting. How is she? Blood is taken from a vein, placed in a special centrifuge. The resulting plasma is injected into the skin of the face, neck and scalp. Plasma lifting has been shown to stimulate collagen production and, as a result, not only moisturizes the skin but also gives it density and softness. And most importantly, all this is achieved thanks to the body's own resources. Plasma lifting takes place in 4-5 operations 1-2 times a year, depending on the initial condition of the skin and its needs.
At the age of 35+
At around 30 years of age, signs of aging become more noticeable: some weakness in the skin appears, physiological folds deepen, "sleep wrinkles" form. Dry skin becomes a constant problem and moisturizers no longer solve it. More serious treatment is needed - deep hydration and stimulation of collagen productionThe method is perfect for this. resuscitation- Hyaluronic acid injections (one hyaluronic acid molecule can hold from 100 to 800 water molecules! ) Often with the addition of certain vitamins, trace elements, amino acids and growth factors. Today, many manufacturers of high-quality injectables produce organic organic matter (the same hyaluronic acid or cocktails based on it) with a volume of 1, 5-3 ml - this amount is enough to "shave" not only the face, but also the neck and neck. area. Of course, optimal long-term results are achieved through methods. For example, for resuscitation it is 3-5 operations 1-2 times a year. Reducing the depth of wrinkles and "tightening" the skin will helplife support- injections with fillers based on hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite. They work in deep layers and fill in wrinkles from the inside, recreating a natural skin frame and stimulating collagen formation which gives a long-lasting and beautiful result.
Age 45+
The main skin problems after forty are deep, noticeable wrinkles and loss of elasticity. At this age, organic resuscitation alone will not be enough to maintain the youth and beauty of skin on neck and neck. Will helplaser fracture surface renewal. The method is shocking and requires about 6-7 days of rehabilitation, but today it is one of the best in the fight against skin aging. In fact, the operation consists of many controlled laser burns, followed by active recovery. As a result, drowsiness and sagging skin gradually disappear on the neck and the depth of physiological folds and "sleep wrinkles" decreases in the décolleté area. Depending on the condition of the skin, the operation can be performed once or as a course, but only in the autumn-winter period. you combine it with moisturizing methods and improve it with filler syringes you can get almost perfect - velvety, toned and elastic - skin. In addition, to tighten the skin on the neck, you can usemesothreads- Absorbent threads that are injected under the skin and allow you to create a "frame" and improve the shape of the face.
