Hi,
man kann beide Falten mit einer OP korrigieren. Das ist auch sinnvoll, denn die Heilung wird einige Wochen dauern und Du willst ja sicher nicht mehrere Heilungsphasen. Die Halsstraffung, die dabei durchgeführt wird ist auch jeden Fall aufwendig, wenn Du mehrere Falten am Hals und unterm Kinn hast. Ungewöhlich finde ich dann aber schon, dass die Adern so stark zu sehen sind. Das solltest Du in dem Fall zusätzlich von einem anderen Arzt untersuchen lassen. Dahinter könnten sich ernste Probleme mit den Halsvenen verbergen.
Ich habe mich vor meiner OP viele Monate intensiv über alle Möglichkeiten informiert, aber ich kenne ich kein Verfahren, wie man Halsvenen weniger sichtbar werden lassen kann. Zumindest gibt es bisher keinen Arzt der in dem Bereich unterspritzt oder anderes ...
