Since the cannula that is inserted is small, the incisions will disappear as soon as the inflammation in the area goes down and the scars will be practically imperceptible. If the case requires it, a small incision is made under the chin (approximately 1 to 2 cm) to completely smooth the area, adjusting the lax muscle (which produces 2 vertical reins on the neck). It is not required to lift the area. Mandatory pre-surgical indications Stop smoking 1 or 2 months before (all smoking patients have an increased risk of skin suffering in the operated region and delayed healing). Discontinue Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid) 1 month before. Stop Vitamin E a month before. Get tetanus vaccine. Anticoagulated patients: Consult your hematologist to modify the treatment regimen. Duration: From 30 minutes to an hour. Type of Anesthesia: Local plus sedation or general anesthesia. Hospitalization: It can be an outpatient procedure, meaning it does not require hospitalization.
