In platysmaplasty (neck-lift surgery), an incision is made under the chin and the skin is lifted all the way to the Adam's apple (larynx). It is lifted several inches wide of the midline. Fat is cleaned off the paired muscles of the neck. Dr. Daniel Kapp, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, answered on behalf of MDLIVE. A platysmaplasty is an operation of the muscle of the neck called the platysma. Typically a platysmaplasty is used to treat a sagging neck, also known as a turkey wattle.
Angioplasty is a procedure in which a tiny device is inserted into narrowed blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. This device widens the arteries and increases blood flow. Balloon angioplasty, also known as percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), uses a small, thin tube (called a catheter) with a tiny balloon at its tip.
