Lifting de Cuello

¿Qué es el Lifting de Cuello?

 El Lifting de Cuello, también llamado Ritidectomía Inferior o Lipectomía Submentoniana, es una Cirugía Estética Facial que tiene como objetivo crear un cuello de aspecto más definido y juvenil mediante la eliminación del exceso de piel y grasa alrededor de la línea de la mandíbula. A menudo, el Lifting de Cuello se realiza como parte de un Lifting Facial, pero puede no realizarse si el paciente no es apto para ello.

 

Los procedimientos de Lifting de Cuello también pueden incluir lo siguiente:

  • Cervicoplastia: Eliminación del exceso de piel.
  • Platismoplastia: Eliminación o alteración de los músculos del cuello
  • Liposucción para eliminar el exceso de grasa

 

¿Por qué se realiza el lifting de cuello?

El lifting de cuello es a menudo la solución preferida si el paciente sufre de cuello de pavo, exceso de grasa alrededor del cuello, o si hay demasiado exceso de piel. El "cuello de pavo" se produce cuando el exceso de tejido se acumula bajo la línea de la mandíbula del paciente y crea el aspecto de la sección de carne que cuelga bajo el cuello de un pavo. Este aspecto añade años a la edad del paciente afectado, haciéndole parecer mucho mayor de lo que realmente es. Un Lifting de Cuello es el procedimiento quirúrgico perfecto para aliviar el cuello de pavo.

 

¿Cuáles son las condiciones para someterse a un lifting de cuello?

El Lifting de Cuello se recomienda a los siguientes pacientes:

  • Los pacientes que no tienen condiciones médicas que pueden perjudicar la curación o aumentaría el riesgo de la cirugía.
  • Los pacientes que pueden someterse a la anestesia con seguridad.
  • Los pacientes que tienen exceso de piel bajo la barbilla y alrededor de la zona del cuello que ha perdido elasticidad.
  • Los pacientes que tienen exceso de grasa debajo de la barbilla y alrededor de la zona del cuello.
  •  

¿Cuáles son los tipos de cirugía de lifting de cuello?

Existen tres tipos de cirugía de lifting de cuello, cada uno de los cuales se diferencia por el lugar en el que se realiza la incisión.

  • La incisión se realiza detrás de la oreja de forma similar a una incisión de lifting facial.
  • Bajo el mentón sin eliminar piel y sin necesidad de realizar una incisión delante de la oreja.
  • Bajo el mentón mediante una incisión en zig-zag.

 

¿Qué hay que tener en cuenta antes del lifting de cuello?

Antes de la cirugía de Lifting de Cuello, a los pacientes se les recomienda lo siguiente:

  • Los pacientes deben acudir al hospital un día antes de la intervención para que se les realicen las pruebas preoperatorias.
  • Los pacientes deben dejar de fumar y de consumir alcohol al menos 2 semanas antes de la intervención para aliviar el riesgo de coágulos de sangre.
  • Los pacientes deben evitar los medicamentos que contengan aspirina o ibuprofeno (Advil, Motrin IB, otros) durante dos semanas antes y después de la cirugía. Estos medicamentos pueden aumentar el riesgo de hemorragia interna. Los pacientes deben confirmar cada medicación con su Coordinador de Pacientes.

 

También se examinará y medirá la cara del paciente, y es posible que el cirujano tome fotografías para que el paciente pueda comparar el aspecto antes y después de la cirugía de Lifting de Cuello.

 

¿Cómo se realiza el Lifting de Cuello?

La cirugía de Lifting de Cuello se puede realizar de varias maneras:

  • Se puede realizar una incisión detrás de la oreja o, alternativamente, delante y detrás de la oreja, similar a la incisión de un lifting facial. En esta técnica, el exceso de piel del cuello se elimina a través de la incisión realizada detrás de la oreja.
  • Un método alternativo consiste en crear una incisión debajo de la barbilla sin eliminar piel y sin necesidad de realizar una incisión delante de la oreja. La liberación de la piel del cuello de los músculos subyacentes permite que la piel se contraiga sin necesidad de extirpar piel. El músculo platisma también se tensa a través de la incisión del mentón.
  • En los ancianos, la piel se elimina directamente de debajo de la barbilla a través de una incisión en zig-zag. Por lo tanto, no se realiza ninguna incisión delante o detrás de la oreja. Esto reduce la complejidad de la intervención.

 

A continuación se retira cuidadosamente el exceso de piel y grasa. El tejido y la piel se realinean y se fijan con suturas.

 

¿Qué hay que tener en cuenta tras la cirugía de lifting de cuello?

Después de la cirugía de Lifting de Cuello, los pacientes pueden experimentar hinchazón y hematomas. A los pacientes se les recomienda lo siguiente:

  • Utilizar una prenda de compresión especial que se le proporcionará para reducir la hinchazón.
  • Mantener la cabeza recta y no torcer ni doblar el cuello.
  • Proteger la piel del sol y utilizar regularmente crema solar.

 

La inflamación y los hematomas pueden tardar varias semanas o meses en desaparecer y las líneas de la incisión pueden tardar hasta 6 meses en desaparecer por completo.

 

¿Cuáles son los riesgos de la cirugía de lifting de cuello?

Los riesgos de la cirugía de Lifting de Cuello incluyen, pero no se limitan a los siguientes:

  • Hematoma, hemorragia bajo la piel.
  • Cicatrización gruesa.
  • Coágulos de sangre
  • Infección
  • Lesión nerviosa
  • Pérdida de piel
  • Riesgos asociados a la anestesia

Otro posible riesgo de la cirugía de lifting de cuello es que el paciente no quede satisfecho con los resultados. En esta situación, es posible una cirugía revisional.

Laoise Breslin reviewed Surgery

I have recently returned from having surgery in turkey which I booked through booking surgery. The process from start to finish has been phenomenal and still on going as my coordinator is still happy to help with any questions I have post op. My co ordinator was Robert Campell, he’s truly been fantastic, at the beginning he was great at responding to my worries and always making me feel at ease, and even now post op with anything I need, I never have to wait long for a response from him. Truly lovely person. I have to say all the coordinators are brilliant and happy to help with questions. Booking surgery as a whole has been brilliant, the social media groups, the support etc, they have everything from transfers, which is brilliant as they help so much with the airport when returning back home, the translators in the hospitals, they were fantastic, nothing was ever too much. What I really love about booking surgery is that you can take a companion with you who can share your room with you. This is an absolute game changer from other companies and I truly hope this remains in place. When booking loads of info is given re the surgeons and the hospitals. I was so happy with my surgeon and hospital, surgeon was fantastic, professional and respectful, the hospital was so modern, hotel like. I highly highly recommend booking surgery and I will definitely be using them in the not so distance future again. Thank you for everything

Carlos Costa reviewed Amazing job from Nora! - Booking Surgery

Booking Surgery exceeded all my expectations! I recently had veneers done by Nora, and the results are simply incredible. Not only did Nora do an amazing job, but she also provided exceptional care throughout the entire process. From the moment I arrived, the team at Booking Surgery made me feel welcome and comfortable. They even arranged for my transportation from the airport and provided accommodation in a nearby hotel, which made my experience hassle-free. The reception staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring I had everything I needed during my stay. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Booking Surgery. If you're considering any dental procedures, I highly recommend Nora and the team here!

Laura reviewed Medistanbul Hospital

I have just had surgery at Medistanbul with Dr Yalcin. I had 360fdl and breast uplift. The experience from start to finish has been outstanding. Interpretators Lily, Morgan, Naz and Frank where quick to solve any issues that I came across and were super friendly. I personally never had any issues with the food at the hospital. I just never had much of an appetite after surgery but gave things a try. All in all a wonderful experience to be had and I would definitely recommend ☺️

Rose Curley reviewed First of all a big thank you to Bruce…

First of all a big thank you to Bruce Who arranged everything from start to finish. I arrived at the airport where I was greeted by Denis who’s a lovely friendly driver who gave us water and signed us into WiFi. From the moment we arrived at yasam hospital the care was great. My partner and I were shown to our room which had enough room for us both and a hospital bed for my partner. The room was very clean and we had our own walk in shower room with toilet. I met the translator who spoke good English and between him and the staff it ran smoothly and.i had all my test done there and then. On the day of my op I was greeted nicely by Dr Nebil who is amazing by the way with the translater and made sure I understood everything that he suggested which was great very pleased with my result. After the op I was brought back up the care of the nurses r great and I wouldn’t change any of them. They got me up walking as soon as they could and there were very attentive to me . They check on you all of the time and were quick to jump on if something went wrong. Dr Nebil phoned on a Sunday checking that everything is ok that’s great commitment to his patients. I would definitely book with him again if I had any more work to be done . When it was time to leave they arranged wheelchair assistance for me and everything went well . My first experience was excellent and if I had to come back I would have my boobs doing only with dr nebil. Thanks to everyone and I mean everyone thank you so much for looking after me whilst I was in your care . Much love Rosaleen xx

D reviewed Great surgery booking team!

We booked my husbands rhinoplasty surgery with bookingsurgery.com and could not be happier with the service. The team picked us up from the airport took us to the hospital hotel and had someone from the team 24/7. The team was super attentive and reassuring. Made sure all our needs and wishes were met. They are super friendly and kind I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you to all the bookingsurgery.com team and hospital staff at Ozel Tekirdag Yasam Hastanesi for all your hardwork and help.

Charlotte reviewed Gastric sleeve

Went for a gastric sleeve last week, the care I got was amazing, nothing was ever to much, interpreters were amazing, the nurses would come in and check on you ask if you need anything if you needed pain relief or wanted to ask something they would come straight away, the room was so big, cleaners came in every morning was very clean, surgeon came to check on you after surgery, my coordinator Bruce was amazing if I had any questions he was happy to help, responded very quickly, would definitely recommend booking surgery.
