8.7 Other Options to Avoid Inadequate Results in Dicult Necks
https://t.me/medicina_free
Fig. 8.17 The horizontal muscle splitting exposes the right submandibular gland. The periglandular capsule is opened, and the gland is freed from its adhesions and mobilized.
The submandibular space is in continuity with the anterior neck due to the horizontal platysma split. In the case of hemorrhage, the blood collection will not remain in a closed space, creating com­pression on the airways, but will spread into the anterior neck and can be treated like a neck hema­toma, avoiding life-threatening situations.

8.7 Other Options to Avoid Inadequate Results in Dicult Necks: Cyanoacr ylate Glue and Platysmectomy
Despite the LSD technique and its good ecacy in treating skin laxity, in patients with considerable excess skin, we still have had some disappointments due to recurrent excess anterior skin excess. During last 2 years, we have been using a dierent techni­que based on the use of a powerful cyanoacrylate glue that can create instant adhesion between the skin flaps and the deep tissues, allowing us to ameli­orate the result of our traction maneuvers on the skin.
Nowadays, in some patients with overabundant and flaccid excess skin on the anterior neck, a modified variation of the LSD technique is carried out. The neck is widely undermined in the subcu­taneous plane up to 2 to 3 cm from the midline. The platysma muscle, which, in this case, has no more adherence to the skin, is transected and su­tured, as in the above-described LSD technique.
Fig. 8.18 The protruding portion of the gland is resected step by step.
Fig. 8.19 A large piece of the submandibular gland has been resected.
Eventually this consists of a two-plane facelift
but with lateral platysma displacement.
When we are ready for f lap tract ion, we apply a layer of glue on the surfaces of the flaps and deep t issues, thr ough its specif ic sprayer device (Fig. 8.20a, b). We then strongly pull the flap following the selected vectors (Fig. 8.20c) and apply pressure for 90 seconds to let the glue pol­ymerize (Fig. 8.20d). This creates immediate adhesion between the skin flap and the deep tis­sue (Fig. 8.20e). A second pull applied more laterally on the flap followed by an additional glue applicat ion enables us to remove a greater amount of skin with no tension on the suture line (Fig. 8.20f, Fig. 8.21, and Fig. 8.22). Cyanoa­crylate glue is much m ore powerful than any fibrin glue as, besides having analogous benefit

in terms of sealing and hemostasis, the former has also a great capacity in f ixating the f l aps and holding the traction.
In some patients with real thick hypertonic pla­tysma, we carry out a localized platysmectomy in­stead of using the LSD technique (Fig. 8.23).
This technique entails the following:
A wide subtotal subcutaneous (Fig. 8.24a) and subplatysmal undermining (Fig. 8.24b).
The removal of a 3- to 4-cm-wide strip of pla­tysma from its lateral to its medial border (Fig. 8.24c–e and Fig. 8.25).
Suturing the upper platysma flap to the mastoid area with a posterior and slightly oblique vector (Fig. 8.26).
Using the glue to create a strong traction on the anterior skin flap.
This technique has been rendered eective by the use of the glue that fulfills the physical principles on which the LSD technique is based, that is, The
closer to the target area is the point of traction, the more eective is the traction

8.8 Lateral Skin-Platysma Displacement Limitations
There are some patients in whom the LSD techni­que cannot achieve optimal results:
Patients who present considerable amount of subcutaneous fat in the anterior neck. In these individuals, an aggressive liposuction over the anterior neck necessary to obtain a good cervi­comandibular angle would destroy most of the attachments between the platysma and the skin, rendering the traction on the myocutane­ous flap less eective.
Patients with abundant subplatysmal fat. Although suction carried out through the lateral subplatysmal incision can remove much of this fat, a more precise sculpturing can be obtained through a submental incision.
When digastric hypertrophy is present and sub­mental approach is necessary to shave or to remove the digastric muscles.
In very dicult necks, that is, necks with anteri­orized hyoid bones, frozen necks,or secondary situation with irregularities of the contour.

whom there is a clear indication for a full neck undermining, and we still carry out this approach in a certain number of our patients. On the other hand, we think that the LSD technique represents a valid alternative for neck rejuvenation that can provide a good outcome but with fewer drawbacks.

with this technique due to other factors, such as smoking, dierent therapies, and skin conditions that increase the risk of long flaps.
The length of the postoperative recovery period is one of the most important factors influencing the patients decision in our practice. The patients happiness is frequently related to the time neces­sary to return to a normal working or social life. The full neck undermining technique is becoming anachronistic and not applicable in many patients, as it constitutes an extended withdrawal from nor­mal life, a condition that is unacceptable for many patients. However, there are some patients in
The main advantages of the LSD technique are
the following
Partial neck undermining means less time and less risk.
No submental scar.
Good results in treating platysma bands and an­terior skin laxity in many patients.
It has been shown that the LSD technique produ­ces a notable decrease in the length of the post­operative recovery period of the LSD procedure when compared to other techniques with similar results.
A 9-year experience with this technique con­firmed a very high patient satisfaction rate and an extremely low complication rate.
An evaluation of our patients showed that at 1 year the recurrence rate of platysma bands and, to a lesser extent, anterior neck skin laxity is lower in patients treated with the LSD techni­que compared to those treated with the full neck undermining technique.
The horizontal platysma transect ion allows an easier reduction of the SMG through the retro­auricular approach than through the submental approach.

8.10 Conclusions
Currently, patient demands include not only the surgical outcome but also the length of postopera­tive recovery period. The duration of the period in which patients must abandon their normal life constitutes a critical issue in making treatment de­cisions. This is one of the important reasons why many patients opt for simpler and easier solutions, which are often inappropriate for treating impor­tant deformities, especially in the neck.
Neck rejuvenation is a very challenging issue. Several authors have lately emphasized the impor­tance of maneuvers directed to achieve good cervi­cal contouring through aggressive lipectomy and reduction of the SMG and digastric muscles in the large majority of patients. This approach can pro­duce precise neck sculpturing, but, in our opinion, should not be applied indiscriminately to all pa­tients, as it represents an aggressive solution that entails long postoperative recovery time and a cer­tain risk of complications.
The LSD technique represents, in our opinion, a technique that can achieve satisfactory results with low complication and recurrence rates and can be carried out successfully in about 70% of the patient candidates for neck rejuvenation.
Until 2011, we opened the neck in approximate l y 65% of our patients during a cervicofacial facelift.
After the year 2012, the percentage of neck openings dropped to approximately 15 to 20% due to the advantages provided by the LSD technique, which has now become our technique of choice in neck rejuvenation.
8.11 Expert Commentary by Dr. Slavin
Dr. Pelle-Ceravolo and Dr. Angelini present an inno­vative technique that achieves a high degree of
lateral platysmal tightening that mobilizes the entire unit of a myocutaneous flap to tighten the neckline. Moreover, it obviates the need for a submental incision. Although the technique has been proven to be safe in authorshands, it could increase the risk of a marginal mandibular nerve injury as it approaches an area anteriorly where there are multiple variations in the anatomy of the nerve.
Two of the more frustrating problems that occur in the context of neck rejuvenationrecurrent pla­tysmal bands and skin la xityare addressed by this technique. The authors perform a platysmal transection up to the most anterior band. Their technique diers from the common practice of anterior corset platysmaplasty, a fundamental ma­neuver for plastic surgeons, but also one that may not completely eliminate all platysmal bands from reappearing postoperatively. Certainly, this novel approach produces excellent results with limited neck dissection. It is also a very f lexible technique, as described in the section on lateral skin displace­ment variations, allowing adjustments for dierent patient features. Finally, the addition of cyanoacry­late glue provides another reassurance that the mobilized myocutaneous flap will be adherent to the deep tissues and remain axed.
8.12 Expert Commentary by Dr. Lin
The authors present an excellent representation of the evolution of their technique over time with modifications to the correction of platysmal band­ing and other challenging anatomical features of the neck. The creation of platysmal flap(s) to reor­ient the anatomy of the neck in order to prevent the recurrence of vertical neck banding is creative and has been studied by the authors, with a recent series of patients.

9 Surgical Techniques for Treatment of the Aging Neck
https://t.me/medicina_free
Munique Maia and Marcelo Cunha Araujo
Abstract
Early signs of aging can be seen on the neck before they appear on the face. A number of noninvasive procedures are available to reverse the signs of aging in these areas. Although these procedures can delay the need for a facelift, they are less eec­tive on the neck. A neck lift is a highly benef icial and eective procedure to address the major com­ponents of aging (skin, muscle, and adipose tissue). We present a systematic approach to analyze and treat the aging neck based on anatomy and indi­vidual features. Dierent techniques are discussed for each particular concern.
Keywords: aging n eck, surgical neck lift, facial analysis, neck rejuvenation
Key Points
The systematic approach guides surgical plan­ning and delivers consistent outcomes with low morbidity.
Skin excision is the least important step in neck rejuvenation surgery.
Submandibular resection should be reserved only for severe cases. It should not be a routine procedure.
We can frame the face and neck, modify angles and shadows, and ultimately create beauty.
9.1 Introduction
When looking at a beautiful face and neck, our eyes are directed to a well-defined mandibular border and the elegant contour of the cervical region.
When considering neck rejuvenation, nonsurgi­cal procedures are less eective and surgical op­tions are the gold standard in this region. Surgical treatments for the aging face and neck result in better and long-lasting outcomes. The traditional idea of lifting the neck to reverse the signs of aging is shortcoming. We believe that modern techni­ques and refinements allow the surgeon to not only lift the lax tissue but also remodel, sculpt, and even modify and enhance features of patients who are young and attractive. As plastic surgery is constantly evolving, we need to amplify our goals,
accept new concepts, and develop a surgical plan at the tridimensional level. We can frame the face and neck, modify angles and shadows, and ulti­mately create beauty!
The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate the techniques utilized by the senior author in a sys­tematic way. The systematic approach guides sur­gical planning and delivers consistent outcomes with low morbidity.
9.2 Facial Analysis and Applied Anatomy
The transitional zone between the lower face and neck has unique features. The cervical region has been studied by many authors. As described by Feldman, the cervical region has eight subunits.
The operative planning is guided by preopera­tive assessment of the anatomical structures and takes into consideration each of the following subunits:
Skin, which covers all subunits. Evaluation of the skin will determine the optimal incision and the direction of the skin pull.
Subcutaneous fat. Careful analysis should be done to determine fat removal, preservation, or fat grafting. Tw o approaches are considered: closed approach with liposuction or open approach with direct ex c ision .
Chin. Assessment of microgenia, prognathism, and ptosis (Fig. 9.1).
Mandibular border and jowls. Careful analysis of the mandibular contour, jowls, and prejowl sul­cus should be done (Fig. 9.2).
Submental region. This is an important area and needs a detailed analysis and accurate diagnosis.
