Ring-shaped plastic surgery according to Scheele

Schöele's ring plastic surgery is a surgical method of eliminating excess skin by moving and fixing it to the lower third of the neck in the form of a ring above the collarbone. The operation is an alternative to double mastopexy. Surgical correction is carried out after 40 years, when a woman is faced with the problem of sagging skin on the neck and the absence of a clear line of the submental angle. This method is also used for other problems associated with drooping soft tissues of the face. Most often among them are neck cysts, hypertrophic and keloid scars, atheromas of the lower and middle third of the face, styloid process, as well as scars after injuries.

**General information** Ring-shell plastic surgery, unlike abdominoplasty, is performed in one area of ​​the face (neck), which significantly reduces the length of hospital stay and recovery period. Displacement of tissues consists of their movement from the upper third of the anterior zone of the face and distribution to the lower parts of the neck. The result of the operation is the presence of a ring on the neck with the placement of excess volume of skin tissue in its projection. This intervention falls under the category of “upper face lift” and ensures a smooth transition from the chin to the neck, eliminating the “double” effect
