Abstract
Background: Numerous techniques have been described
for neck lifting aiming at minimal access and limited downtime.
This study presents a surgical technique for patients with
considerable neck bands avoiding the anterior neck incision.
Patients and Methods: Thirteen female patients (mean
age 57 years) with considerable platysma laxity underwent
suture platysmaplasty during face lift procedures. Through a
face lift incision, the platysma was suspended to the ipsilateral
mastoid periosteum using permanent suture. The outcome
was rated according to a modified visual analogue scale for
neck bands and cervicomental angle.
Results: Twelve patients achieved satisfactory stable
improvement. One case had early recurrence of her platysma
bands that required surgical correction.
Conclusion: Modified ipsilateral suture suspension platysmaplasty,
through the facelift approach can improve platysma
bands without the need for additional anterior approach. This
modified technique makes the procedure easier and less
invasive.
