Abstract:
Based on anatomical and clinical considerations, a new classification of the six most common neck problems is presented. In general there are three types of necks-lean, fatty, and medium-which can involve three kinds of tissue-skin, muscle, and fat-that develop wrinkles, laxities, and adiposities. Different magnitudes and combinations of these problems are observed in these three kinds of patients. Medial plication of the platysma is emphasized as a natural way to deal with neck bands.
