The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging due to sagging skin, muscle laxity, and fat accumulation. At The Artis Institute for Plastic Surgery in Aventura, Dr. Andrés Sárraga offers cutting-edge solutions to restore youthful contours to the neck using advanced techniques like deep plane neck lift contouring & platysmaplasty, S.I.M.P.L.E. neck lift, and Non – surgical neck lift.
Understanding Neck Aging: The Role of the Platysma Muscle
The platysma muscle plays a pivotal role in neck aesthetics. As we age, this muscle can sag and create visible bands that detract from a smooth neckline. Traditional approaches like platysmaplasty focus on tightening and repositioning of the platysma to eliminate these bands. Dr. Sárraga enhances this technique by addressing deeper ligament layers for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Innovative Techniques: Ellevate and Trampoline Platysmaplasty
Dr. Sárraga has been utilizing minimally invasive methods like the SIMPLE neck lift for years—long before they gained widespread recognition. These techniques involve contouring of the superficial and deep neck structures, removing excess tissues, tightnening the neck plastymal muscles and very limited liposuction to help contour the new jawline. By meticulously performing changes on the deep and superficial tissues of the neck, Dr. Sarraga helps to contour your new neck line and effectively lift your submental area. All through one single incision.
- Submental lipectomy and precision liposuction: excess fat on top of and in between the platysma muscle is carefully removed, the excess fat over the jawline is precisely contoured with liposuction.
- Platysmaplasty: travel from the middle of the neck to behind the ears, tightening platysma bands and defining the jawline. This precise method lifts the central neck area by pulling muscle bands together for a smoother contour.
- Deep Neck contouring: excess muscle bulges are excised, loose muscles are tightened and bulging glands are trimmed as necessary.
- Jawline & chin contouring: Through the same access a chin implant can be placed in cases where profile balancing is optimal; fat grafting can also be done on the chin or volume loss areas to rejuvenate the jawline.
This combination of techniques offer minimal access (therefore minimal evidence that anything was done) while achieving significant and long lasting improvements in neck definition.
Combining Techniques for Optimal Results
For patients with more advanced aging or sagging of the neck tissues (heavy neck or “the gobbler”) seeking a true transformation, Dr. Sárraga often combines all of these techniques and procedures with a comprehensive neck lift or as part of his Deep Plane Facelift. This approach not only enhances neck contours but also complements the lower part of the face and cheek area for a more sculptedand rejuvenated appearance.
