Hearing Conservation Program â¢The purpose of a Hearing Conservation Program (HCP) is to prevent the occurrence or reduce the progression of noise-induced hearing loss.
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.
The platysma is a superficial muscle that overlaps the sternocleidomastoid. It is a broad sheet arising from the fascia covering the upper parts of the pectoralis major and deltoid; its fibers cross the clavicle, and proceed obliquely upward and medially along the side of the neck.
