methods with significant results and a high degree of patient satisfaction. Other surgical procedures should be considered when analyzing the aging neck. Neck contouring procedures can be per­formed in combination with other surgical proce­dures such as facelifts, rhinoplasty, and buccal fat pad removal.
Nonsurgical neck rejuvenation will be discussed in detail in another chapter. These treatments aimed at the same three treatable soft-tissue layers. Energy-based devices treat the skin, pro­moting collagen production texture and moderate skin tightening as well as improving skin texture. Fat reduction can be achieved with deoxycholic acid or cryolipolysis. The platysma muscle and bands can be treated with botulinum toxin, which results in muscle relaxation and a lifting eect (chemical neck lift, a Nefertiti lift).

3.10 Expert Commentary by Dr. Slavin
This chapter oers an exceptional introduction to rejuvenation of the neck. We have found that one of the keys to a happy patient who has undergone submentalplasty is limiting the scar to less than 3cmsoastopreventitfromridingupontothe anterior jawline. Moreover, dog-ear corrections can result in an unfavorable extension of the scar. We find 3 cm keeps it hidden in the frontal view. We caution that isolated submentalplast y in older patie nts with loss of skin elasticit y should be approached with care as this problem becomes more conspicuous posttreatment, lead­ing to patient dissatisfaction; in such situations, it may be necessary to br ing the patient back for skin tightening. Therefore, preoperative judg­ment is of utmost importance.
3.11 Expert Commentary by Dr. Lin
The authors have given an excellent summary of their approach in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative course. I cannot agree more that the goal of any surgery is a satisfied patient, and the eorts to achieve that end may vary from patient to patient. The use of TXA has definitely increased and become routine in many practices. As we have seen in recent studies, it can be routinely used through several means of administration.

4 The Use of Platysma Window for Neck Contouring
https://t.me/medicina_free
Rod J. Rohrich, Justin Bellamy, and Nelson A. Rodriguez-Unda
Abstract
Neck aesthetics are a key component of a youthful appearance. Mastering a safe, e reproducible technique for neck contouring remains essential for success in facial rejuvenation. Here we describe our approach to neck and jawline contour­ing using the lateral platysmal window, with or without a central nec k lift component. This approach to neck rejuvenation can be performed alone; how­ever, it becomes even more eective when com­bined with rhytidectomy. An understanding of the underlying anatomy contributing to neck deformity guides the surgical approach. By using an anatomy­driven, systema tic approach as we describe here, this technique can impart robust tightening of the lower face and neck while simultaneously minimizing risk of injury to nearby structures.

Key Points
A sharp jawline and neck are essential to a har­monious, youthful appearance.
Lateral platysmal window is a safe, reproducible approach to lateral neck rejuvenation that works well alone or combined with rhytidectomy.
It can be performed with or without central/ deep neck rejuvenation.
Dynamic bands greater than 2 cm o-midline AND no deep neck deformity lateral neck only.
Dynamic bands less than 2 cm o-midline OR deep neck deformity add central neck com­ponent.
A 2-cm vertical incision in the platysma placed
1.5 cm below the mandibular angle and 1.5 cm anterior to the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle.
4.1 Patient Considerations, Indications, and Contraindications
While neck aesthetics remain an essential compo­nent of facial harmony, there are variable anatomical contributions to poor neck contour. Careful consid­eration to specific patient characteristics guides best
surgical interventions. In 1980, Ellenbogen and

Karlin
highlighted the most important features of the youthful neck, including a distinct mandibular border, anterior border of sternocleidomastoid muscle, subhyoid depression, thyroid bulge, and a cervicomental angle of 105 to 120 degrees. For such aesthetics to be realized, both the central and later­al neck must be addressed. The treatment approach must address skin excess, muscle laxity, fatty excess in the deep and superficial planes, as well as skin resurfacing. The lateral platysmal window provides an eective, safe, and reproducible approach to neck contouring. central neck component in severe cases, and natu­rally fits into the flow of traditional rhytidectomy and facial rejuvenation procedures.

4.1.1 Who Is a Candidate?
Virtually all patients undergoing primary rhytidec­tomy are candidates for lateral platysmal window given the shared preauricular incision. Young pa­tients with isolated central neck concerns who ex­plicitly desire to avoid a preauricular incision may be better treated with a deep central neck lift alone; however, this is a relatively uncommon scenario. In the revision neck lift patient, the platysmal window remains highly eective, but the surgeon should anticipate a potentially thin and friable platysma requiring additional care to avoid cheese wiring of the tissues with large movements.
4.1.2 Platysmal Bands
Particular attention should be paid toward the loca­tion and nature of any neck bands, as this helps determine whether a lateral-only approach is ad­equate. Centrally located and dynamic bands (2cm from midline) may be dicult to adequately treat from a lateral-only access. On the c ontrary, platysmal bands greater than 2 cm from midline can be sharply incised from above via the lateral access and redis­tributed with the lateral platysmal window without the need for central access.
4.1.3 The Central Neck
Preoperative assessment should evaluate for signifi­cant subplatysmal fat, presence of dynamic central

bands, and the presence of ptotic submandibular glands. The presence of any or all these fea tures ma y favor includin g a central neck component.
4.1.4 Contraindications
There are no absolute preoperative contraindica­tions to lateral platysmal window. In the revisionary case, an attenuated platysma may be encountered with difficulty accomplishing lateral tension. Should the lateral platysma become completely incompe­tent intraoperatively, a central plication approach may be preferred to avoid further cheese wiring of the platysma.
4.2 What Technique to Use and Why?
Patients can be stratified into three groups based on anatomical needs and patient desires.
Lateral neck-only. Patients with platysmal bands greater than 2 cm o-midline and primarily sub­mental fat can be managed with lateral platysmal window only through face and neck lift incision.
Lateral and central neck. These patients may also benefit from central neck incision to man­age the deep neck or central bands if deformity is present. We find, however, that in the absence of significant subplatysmal fat, any bands lo­cated greater than 2cm o-midline can be man­aged from the lateral access with myotomy/my­omectomy.
Central neck only. Young patients with isolated submental adiposity without skin excess. These patients do not require lateral platysmal window. Their management depends upon the etiology of their submental fullness. Central fullness attribut­able entirely to subcuteanous adiposity may be managed with either liposuction alone (with or without adjunct s kin tightening modalities), while sub-platysmal fullness requires debulking of the sub-platysmal structures and platysmaplasty. The details of isolated deep central neck management are beyond the scope of this chapter .
4.3 Technique: A Stepwise Summary
Facial/neck analysis. Paramount to safe and suc­cessful neck rejuvenation is preoperative analysis and planning. This involves classification of the
location of the platysmal band (central platysmal bands < 2cm o-midline, lateral bands >2 cm off- midline), evaluation for the presence of excess subcutaneous fat versus deep subplatysmal fat, submandibular gland ptosis, and any other neck scars (e.g., prior neck lift, tracheostomy scar) that could compromise s kin perfusion.
Incision. If deep central neck pathology must be addressed, then the central neck component must be performed first. A 2- to 2.5-cm incision is made behind the submental crease. Incision directly in the submental crease is avoided be­cause it may exacerbate the indent at the crease. By choosing a more posterior incision 5 to 8 mm posterior to the submental crease, a smooth and pleasing transition from the menton to the neck may be accomplished. This dissection is carried deep until the platysma is identified.
Dissection. With an assistant applying counter­tension on the anterior neck, dissection pro­ceeds sharply with anterograde electrocautery hemostasis as required. A 3-mm-thick subcuta­neous flap is created down to the level of the
4
thyroid cartilage and as far laterally as ergo­nomically achievable (this dissection will later be communicated with the lateral neck dissec­tion). Following skin flap elevation, residual of the subcutaneous fat left on the platysmal sur­face is excised under direct visualization. Prior to proceeding, hemostasis is again confirmed with care to avoid injury to the adjacent anteri­or jugular veins.
Platysmal plication. The medial platysmal bands are identified under direct vision on both sides and correlated to preoperativ e markings and pho­tographs. Using a 4–0 braided/nonabsorbable su­ture (Mersilene), the platysma is reapproximated in the midline from the level of the caudal aspect of the thyroid cartilage to the most cephalad mar­gin of the platysma. We often perform this in a two-layered, running fashion. Subsequently, using an extended Bovie tip, a 2-cm platysmal wedge myomectomy is performed at 1.5 cm below the caudal platysmal plication. This avoids recurrent or cicatricial banding.
Palpation of the platysmal surface. Assess for a smooth anterior neck surface. Any imperfec­tions are addressed with additional undermin­ing or excision of subcutaneous fat under direct visualization, as needed.
