Muscles of the Anterior Neck

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Muscles that Move the Head

Muscles that Move the Head

The muscles that move the head are a dynamic and complex group of structures that work together to facilitate a wide range of head movements, including rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral bending.
The bilateral sternocleidomastoid, or SCM, and the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles are significant head flexors. The SCM muscles originate at the sternum and clavicle and attach to the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The SCM contracts bilaterally to bend the head forward, whereas...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...

Muscles of the Shoulder

Muscles of the Shoulder

The muscles surrounding the shoulder girdle, including the clavicle and scapula, primarily stabilize the scapula. This stable base allows other muscles to move the humerus effectively. Scapular movements often mirror those of the humerus and extend its range of motion. For instance, raising the arm above the head would not be feasible without simultaneous upward rotation of the scapula.
Anterior Thoracic Muscles
The anterior thoracic muscles include the serratus anterior, subclavius, and...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Aesthetic Surgery
Facial Rejuvenation

Background:

Cervicofacial aging affects both the face and neck.
Submandibular laxity and platysmal bands are common concerns.
Existing neck lift techniques may have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel surgical technique for cervicofacial rejuvenation.
To evaluate the efficacy of submandibular neck lifting with platysma resection.
To assess the aesthetic outcomes of this procedure.

Main Methods:

A retrospective review of 18 cases undergoing submandibular neck lifting with platysma resection between 2003 and 2009.
The procedure was performed as an isolated technique.
Tumescent local anesthesia was utilized in some cases.

Main Results:

The submandibular neck lift with platysma resection proved to be an efficient isolated procedure.
Satisfactory aesthetic results were achieved in all 18 cases.
The technique offers potential advantages, including the use of tumescent local anesthesia.

Conclusions:

Submandibular neck lifting with platysma resection is an effective method for neck rejuvenation.
The procedure provides a viable option for isolated neck lifting.
Good aesthetic outcomes can be expected with this technique.
