Comprehensive restoration of the neck and chin area by plastic surgeon Iryna Pradosh.
Combining deep platysmaplasty with liposuction eliminated sagging soft tissue, accentuated the jawline and created a harmonious facial contour that fully matches the patient's natural proportions.
Patient's Request
The patient came to Iryna Pradosh complaining of a loss of facial definition, a “double chin” and loose skin on the neck. Her main wish was to restore a youthful, toned profile and a well-defined neck-to-chin angle without an “overdone” look, while keeping her natural facial expressions and proportions.
Diagnosis and Surgical Plan
At the initial consultation, the surgeon assessed the skin condition, the tone of the platysma muscle and the volume of localized fat deposits. Taking her anatomy into account, a personal surgical plan was developed:
- Comprehensive pre-operative assessment and photo documentation from 5 angles;
- Micro-liposuction of the chin area to remove excess fat;
- Corset platysmaplasty — suturing and securely fixing the neck muscles;
- Redraping the skin flap and removing excess skin;
- Cosmetic intradermal sutures placed in natural folds (under the chin and behind the ears);
- Recovery monitoring and post-operative follow-ups.
Result
After recovery, the patient's profile changed completely. The facial contour became defined and the neck toned and aesthetic. The incisions are hidden in natural skin folds, so once fully healed the scars remain invisible to others.
- A refined, well-defined neck-to-chin angle;
- The “double chin” completely eliminated;
- A defined jawline and facial contour restored;
- Neck muscles strengthened for a long-lasting effect;
- Inconspicuous post-operative scars;
- A natural, rejuvenated profile without any feeling of tightness.
