4.4 How to Avoid Bad Results/Common Pitfalls

indicated), the lateral neck can be addressed. The standard intertragal incision for rhytidectomy is adequate for lateral access. In cases of isolated neck lift, this incision can be limited to just be­low the tragus and carried posteriorly into the hairline. Sharp dissection from posterior to the midline follows. By dissecting from posterior to anterior, the subauricular band is released and skin mobilized. If central neck lift was performed, this dissection should meet the previously created space. Careful assessment of the jowl mandibular septum area is done at this time to ensure they have been proper l y dissecte d and are not crea ting abnormal contour at the prejowl sulcus. Failure to disrupt the mandibular retaining ligament super­ficially can result in persistent jowling. Care must be exercised to not penetrate deep in this area, however, as the marginal mandibular nerve lies just deep to the platysma/superficial musculoapo­neurotic system (SMAS) in this region. Once the skin has been mobilized and the cutaneous mandibular ligament released, pulling the lateral platysma superiorly and posteriorly should dem­onstrate a sharp jawline. At this point, we are ready to proceed with lateral platysmal window.
The lateral platysmal window is made at a point on the platysma one fingerbreadth (1.5cm) below the mandibular angle and one fingerbreadth anterior to the sternocleidomas­toid muscle. This position is selected as it avoids injury to the adjacent great auricular nerve and the cervical branch of the facial nerve. grasping this point with forceps, a 2-cm vertical

platysmal window is created with electrocautery or scissors. A small flap of platysma is created at the window with 2-cm anterior dissection. Care is taken to avoid tearing or macerating this pla­tysmal flap as it will be used for suture purchase (Fig. 4.1).
Fixation to the mastoid fascia. Using 4–0 Mer- silene sutures, figure-of-eight sutures are placed into the lateral platysmal window flap and cabled to the retroauricular mastoid fascia in a superior- and posterior-oblique vector (just be­hind and below the ear lobule). Enough tension is applied to achieve sharp mandibular pull without cheese wiring the platysmal flap. A sec­ond suture is placed in an equivalent fashion just below or above the initial suture.
Optional spanning suture. In selected cases with thick subcutaneous tissues (e.g., in male neck lift), a spanning resorbable suture (Vicryl, PDS) from the submental area to the mastoid can be placed to further define the mandibular border (Fig. 4.2).
4.4 How to Avoid Bad Results/ Common Pitfalls
While the lateral platysmal window approach to neck rejuvenation is relatively simple and safe to performfitting in most standard face and neck lift approachesthere are some nuanced pitfalls that should be avoided to optimize neck contour and avoid recurrence. These are reviewed in Table 4.1.

4.6 Expert Commentary by Dr. Slavin
In patients with platysmal banding medially and laterally, we find that the platysma needs to be ad­dressed from both submental and lateral access. One of the biggest challenges with platysmal bands is recurrence of the band. In order to pre­vent recurrence, surgeons will need to employ ag­gressive plication techniques, as presented in this chapter. Standard plication techniques or access from only a submental incision is subject to a risk of recurrence with the patient returning a year lat­er requiring skin tightening and potential anterior submentalplasty. While 2 cm works as a rule of thumb in experienced hands, we caution the young surgeon going forward with an isolated an­terior access.
4.7 Expert Commentary by Dr. Lin
This is an excellent approach in the setting where a submental incision is not preferred or in the cases where central banding is not present. The platysma layer/SMAS, as mentioned, on revision cases may be attenuated, so care is required for meticulous tissue handling in order to allow dissection to occur with­out macerating this platysmal la y er.

5 Triple Suture for Neck Contouring
https://t.me/medicina_free

Abstract
Neck treatment is important for better contouring and repositioning of structures that su ptosis over time. Global facial aging can be treated by 6 vectors (V1–V6). The neck region corre­sponds to vectors 4 to 6, which can be treated to­gether or individually. This technique consists in the placement of thre e typ es of sutures: a first line of sutures t ra c tioning the platysma and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, a second single suture at the level of the thyroid cartilage, and a third running suture starting at the level of the thyroid cartilage up to the supramental re­gion. With the triple-suture technique, the long­term results are maintained in the experience of the senior author.

configuration due to the three dimensionality, with the overlap of structures of dierent thickness and consistencies, ranging from soft tissues and elastic tissues to bone.
Since the first reports of surgical facial rejuvena­tion by Miller the changes that occur in facial soft tissues and that lead to an aged appearance allowed the devel­opment of new techniques to address the specific anatomy of facial aging.
Once the diagnosis is made, the ideal treatment is individualized to each patient. There are dierent dissection planes for each region of the face and through these dissections, we identify six vectors of traction. Vectors 1, 2, and 3 can be performed using videoendoscopy. Vectors 4 and 5 are treated with a stairlike superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) plication with lateral traction of the platys­ma. Vector 6 is tractioned after undermining of the tissues of the face in a subcutaneous plane and a subplatysmal plane, then the triple-suture technique is performed.
In the experience of the senior author, treating the dierent regions of the face and neck through dierent vectors of traction facilitates the surgical planning indicated for each patient (Fig. 5.1).

5.2 Indications
The cervical region is a part of the surgical treat­ment of the face. The neck lift and facelift treating the lower third of the face are indicated when aging is diagnosed in the superficial and deep structures of the cervical region and also in varying degrees of lipodystrophy.
5.1 Introduction
Rhytidectomy was originally created as a simple method for correction of the aging face, with resec­tion of excess skin followed by suture of the skin under tension. The procedure evolved to encompass a wide range of techniques that reposition the tis­sues of the face, in an attempt to rejuvenate the face.
The human face is composed of numerous ana­tomical structures arranged in dierent depths and proportions. It presents a high complexity in its
5.3 Technique
The triple-suture techni q ue for the submental region combines the treatment of the vertical vector of the submentumV6 —individually or in conjunction with vectors 5 (lateral oblique) and 4 (SMAS stair­step plication).
In this chapter, we describe step by step the technique used by the senior author for treating the superficial and deep structures of the neck.

Vector 2: temporal region. Vector 3: anteromedial middle third of the face. Vector 4: antero­lateral middle third of the face. V5: retroauricular and lateral cervical region. Vector 6: midline cervical region.
5.3.1 Position
This technique is performed with the patient in a supine position, under intravenous sedation, with the neck placed in hyperextension.
5.3.2 Infiltration
The cervical region is infiltrated with a vasocon­strictive solution made of lidocaine 0.5%, bupiva­caine 0.125%, and epinephrine 1:240,000.
5.3.3 Marking
Liposuction area marking and area to be treated in the submental region is performed as shown in

midline, 2 mm below the submental crease. In patients with lateral lipodystrophy of the neck, additional stab incisions are made under each earlobe for lateral liposuct ion and improved ac­cess to the supramandibular fat (jowl; Fig. 5.3).
Incision
The submental incision is then extended to 2.5 to 3cm (▶ Fig. 5.4), and generous undermining is per- formed in a subcutaneous plane in the mental and supramental regions, as well as the central and lateral cervical regions, releasing the mandibular ligaments (Fig. 5.5).
After undermining, we identify the medial fibers of the platysma and its anatomical variation, as well as its flaccidity and thickness (Fig. 5.6). Undermining is performed in a subplatysmal plane in order to assess the medial borders of the platys­ma and to remove any muscle excess in the midline (Fig. 5.7). The cephalic border of the platysma is tractioned in order to remove any excess and fixate it to the mental periosteum with repositioning of the supra- and infrahyoid tissues.

We may observe in some patients a herniation of the subplatysmal fat. How­ever, since we do remove that fat, we do cauterize it creating a lipolysis facilitating the complete pli­cation of the midline reducing the content of the subplatysmal fat.
