Surgery for correction of neck sagging, double chin and platysmal bands. Individualized planning by Dr. Giordano Marson, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, with natural and long-lasting results.
Cervicoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat neck sagging, excess cervical skin and fat accumulation in the submental region (double chin). With aging, the neck skin loses elasticity and the platysma muscle weakens, resulting in visible bands, undefined cervical contour and an aged appearance.
Unlike non-invasive treatments that offer limited improvements, cervicoplasty acts directly on the structural cause of sagging. The procedure involves platysma muscle plication (tightening), removal of excess fat and skin, and tissue repositioning to restore a youthful and defined cervicomental angle.
Dr. Giordano Marson performs cervicoplasty in Maringá with individualized planning, analyzing each patient's cervicofacial anatomy to determine the best technical approach.
The neck anatomy is evaluated in detail for a customized surgical plan.
Restoration of the angle between chin and neck for a more youthful and harmonious appearance.
Cervicoplasty offers results that last for many years with proper care.
Cervicoplasty restores firmness and definition to the neck, eliminating the double chin and platysmal bands for a rejuvenated and natural profile.
Neck surgery is indicated for patients who present signs of cervical aging that compromise the harmony of the facial profile.
Neck skin with loss of elasticity and firmness, causing an aged and drooping appearance. Sagging may result from natural aging, significant weight loss or genetic predisposition.
Localized fat accumulation below the chin creating a double chin appearance. Cervicoplasty may include submental liposuction to eliminate this resistant fat deposit.
Visible vertical cords in the neck caused by loosening of the platysma muscle. Plication of this muscle during cervicoplasty corrects these bands and restores cervical smoothness.
Loss of definition of the angle between the chin and neck, which should normally be well-defined. Cervicoplasty redefines this transition for a more youthful and elegant profile.
Patients who have undergone significant weight loss often present excess neck skin. Cervicoplasty removes this excess and reshapes the cervical contour.
In many cases, cervicoplasty is combined with a facelift for complete rejuvenation of the cervicofacial region, ensuring harmony between the face and neck.
Cervicoplasty is performed in a hospital setting, under general anesthesia or sedation, with an average duration of 2 to 3 hours. Learn about the main steps of the procedure.
During the in-person evaluation, Dr. Giordano analyzes the cervical anatomy, skin quality, submental fat volume and platysma muscle tone. The surgical plan is defined based on each patient's individual needs and expectations.
Incisions are made in discreet locations: behind the ears and, when necessary, a small incision in the submental region (below the chin). These positions ensure virtually imperceptible scars after healing.
The platysma muscle is tightened and sutured at the midline (plication), correcting the platysmal bands. When indicated, submental liposuction is performed to remove localized fat and define the cervical contour.
Tissues are repositioned, excess skin is removed and incisions are closed with refined sutures. The immediate result already shows significant improvement in the neck contour, which will continue to evolve throughout recovery.
Understand what to expect at each stage of the postoperative period. Rigorous follow-up by Dr. Giordano ensures safe recovery and optimal results.
Period of greatest rest. Mandatory use of the cervical compression garment to reduce swelling and assist in tissue settling. Swelling and bruising are expected and normal at this stage.
Follow-up appointment for evaluation and suture removal. Noticeable reduction in swelling. Bruising begins to fade. The compression garment continues to be used as directed.
Gradual return to work and social activities. Mild residual swelling, generally unnoticeable to others. Most patients already feel comfortable resuming their daily routine.
Tissues continue to settle and the cervical contour becomes increasingly defined. Gradual clearance for physical activities. Scars mature and become progressively more discreet.
Fully stabilized result with defined and natural cervical contour. Mature and virtually invisible scars. Full return to all activities without restrictions.
