Non-surgical platysmaplasty is a minimally invasive procedure using absorbable threads placed in the neck and along the jawline. The threads are absorbed by the body over a period of months.
A consultation is required to determine whether it may be appropriate for you. Your concerns, relevant medical history, the alternatives, the potential risks, the expected recovery and the limitations are discussed beforehand.
Risks and recovery
This is a medical procedure and it carries risks. These include pain, bruising, swelling, bleeding, infection, thread migration or extrusion, visible or palpable threads, dimpling or puckering of the skin, asymmetry, changes in sensation and nerve injury.
Threads are absorbed over time and the effect is not permanent. Responses vary between individuals and a result is not guaranteed. Recovery time differs from person to person and is discussed with you before treatment.
Important information
A clinical consultation is required before treatment. Your practitioner will assess your concerns, relevant medical history, treatment suitability and available options. Potential risks, limitations, expected recovery and realistic treatment outcomes are also discussed as part of the informed consent process.
Treatment is not suitable for everyone. Suitability and outcomes vary between individuals.
