Neck contouring

Contour plastic surgery of the neck will help solve problems of restoring beauty in such a delicate area.

No matter how young the face looks, a woman's age is often betrayed by the neck. Wrinkles and loose skin on the neck bother not only women, but also men who care about their appearance. The skin in the neck area is considered one of the most delicate areas, since it has virtually no layer of fatty tissue.

How is neck contouring performed?

Most often, wrinkle correction in the décolleté and neck area is carried out using hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Fillers are well accepted by the skin, spreading along its specific loose layer. In addition to the clearly expressed cosmetic effect, HA preparations are able to activate the regenerative properties of the dermis and even stimulate the production and synthesis of its own natural tissue fibers. In practical cosmetology, it is believed that the neck area is well amenable to correction using biorevitalization and reinforcement.

Let's take a closer look at these procedures:

1. Over the past ten years, biorevitalization has received well-deserved recognition as the most popular and effective procedure in the category of anti-aging manipulations. Its essence lies in stimulating the body's own reserves to restore the normal water balance of the skin, in activating the production of collagen and elastin. Hyaluronic acid preparations that are not subject to chemical modification, the so-called non-stabilized HA, are used as a filler. The course of contour plastic surgery of the neck with fillers is designed for 3-5 procedures depending on the condition of the skin, the result is noticeable immediately after the first manipulation, and the effect lasts up to 12 months.
2. Bioreinforcement of the neck can also be considered one of the most effective procedures, capable of providing not only lifting of the skin, but also preventing its early aging. Soft tissues are subjected to reinforcement, the procedure uses biosynthetic HA preparations, which act in the following way:
   • perform a framework function. The drug is administered intradermally and remains in the tissue for up to 12 months, forming a kind of framework that secures the matrix and keeps the skin from sagging.
   • activate collagen production due to the fact that hyaluronic acid releases molecules that stimulate the process of neocollagenesis.
   • have a pronounced lifting effect due to the activation of intradermal microfibrosis.

Results of neck contouring

The optimal period for visiting a cosmetologist for neck area care using contour plastic surgery is the age of 40-55. The results that a woman receives are visible to the naked eye:

• Neutralization of wrinkles, including deep ones.
• Tightened facial contours.
• Restoration of skin turgor.
• Reduction of the so-called "double" chin.
• Significant improvement in skin color.

Neck skin correction with Botox

It should be noted that Botox injections can also help correct the condition of the neck skin, especially if the wrinkles are associated with the subcutaneous muscle - platysma. Such wrinkles appear even in young women, causing a lot of problems with absolutely young facial skin. If the platysma is prone to excessive tone, Botox helps to relax it, reduce mobility.

The procedures are carried out in a course with a break of several weeks in order to give the body the opportunity to get used to the change in the swallowing function mode. The effect of Botox injection lasts for 8-12 months depending on the depth of the wrinkle and the individual characteristics of the client. The procedure for introducing botulinum toxins into the neck area is absolutely safe, provided that the specialist correctly selects the dosage of the drug and masterfully masters the technique of performing the manipulation.

Neck contouring with Botox should not be performed more than three times a year, otherwise there is a risk of an aggressive response from the immune system, muscle atony and impaired conduction of neuromuscular impulses. In general, Botox injections are considered effective, but not universal, so the method and method of restoring neck skin turgor should be selected by a cosmetologist, taking into account the age and physiological characteristics of the client.

Contour plastic surgery of the neck is not the only option for solving problems of an aesthetic nature; if a woman has pronounced muscle bands, gravitational ptosis of tissues, significant accumulation of subcutaneous fat, it is possible that the doctor will recommend a more extensive and serious procedure from the category of plastic surgery.

Causes of Aging Neck Skin

Over time, the skin becomes thinner, dehydrated and loses its elasticity, sags. In addition, wrinkles can form for other reasons that are not related to age-related physiology:

• Slouching, incorrect body position, poor posture.
• Rapid weight gain or loss, weight loss.
• The habit of sleeping lying on your stomach.
• Genetic predisposition.
• Endocrine diseases.

There are also quite objective factors that influence the appearance of early wrinkles on the neck, among them doctors note the following:

1. The property of the skin of the neck to move easily relative to muscles and tissues.
2. Increased mobility, the range of motion of the cervical vertebrae, which are labile in relation to each other, which has not only a positive effect (the ability to move and rotate the head), but also a negative effect on the skin of the neck.
3. An anatomical feature of blood flow in the neck area, which is caused by good blood supply to the thyroid and parathyroid glands, larynx, esophagus, trachea, but insufficient blood flow to the skin.
4. The presence of a specific subcutaneous muscle - platisma, which is not attached to the skin, but is able to set it in motion thanks to a thin layer of striated muscles (facial muscles). Platisma quickly ages and provokes a loss of turgor, elasticity of the skin adjacent to it.
