Cervicoplasty, as defined by CPT® Code 15819, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the neck by removing excess skin. This procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient is completely unconscious and free from pain during the operation. The primary goal of cervicoplasty is to excise extraneous skin that may have sagged or become loose due to aging, weight loss, or other factors. During the procedure, the surgeon carefully removes the excess skin, which can help to create a more youthful and contoured neck profile. After the excision, the remaining skin is meticulously sutured together in layers, promoting optimal healing and minimizing scarring. This detailed approach not only enhances the aesthetic outcome but also supports the integrity of the skin as it heals post-operatively.
