This study reviews direct excisional submentoplasty techniques for neck contouring, offering a comprehensive overview of methods to address submental laxity and excess skin. It proposes a novel approach for improved aesthetic outcomes in neck rejuvenation.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Facial Anatomy

Background:

  • Submental laxity and excess neck skin/fat, often termed "turkey gobbler" deformity, are common patient concerns.
  • Some patients seek correction solely for this area, avoiding extensive facelift procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize direct excisional submentoplasty techniques described in peer-reviewed literature.
  • To analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical designs.
  • To propose a novel technique integrating existing methods.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of English-language peer-reviewed literature on direct excisional submentoplasty.
  • Analysis of different skin excision patterns and wound closure techniques.
