[Anterior medial cervicoplasty].

Submental skin and fat accumulation is a frequent concern among aging individuals. While patients may struggle to recognize the extent of this issue, it often leads them to seek surgical consultation. Traditional face-lift procedures are not always appropriate or accepted, particularly among male patients. Prior surgical approaches have been complex and may not align with patient preferences. This gap motivated the development of a simplified alternative. No prior work had resolved the need for a less invasive and more acceptable method. The need for an effective yet minimally scarring procedure remains unmet. This paper introduces a new approach to address these limitations.

The aim of this work is to describe a simplified anterior medial cervicoplasty technique. This procedure is intended for patients with submental excess who are not suitable for conventional face-lifts. The authors sought to provide a less invasive and more patient-friendly alternative. Their motivation stems from the limitations of existing methods, particularly in male patients. The procedure is designed to be performed under local anesthesia, reducing risks and recovery times. The authors also aimed to evaluate cosmetic outcomes and patient satisfaction. Their goal was to offer a reproducible and effective solution. The study aimed to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of this new approach.

The authors describe an anterior medial cervicoplasty with elliptical excision of excess skin. A medial platysmaplasty is also performed as part of the procedure. Two clinical cases were selected to illustrate the technique. Incisions were placed in recommended locations to minimize visibility. The procedure was carried out under local anesthesia. The authors emphasize a simplified approach compared to prior methods. The technique involves precise excision and repositioning of tissues. Patient outcomes and satisfaction were evaluated postoperatively.

The results of the anterior medial cervicoplasty were rated as good to excellent by all operated patients. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia, with minimal complications reported. The final scar was described as inconspicuous despite initial concerns. Both clinical cases demonstrated successful outcomes with minimal scarring. Patients expressed high satisfaction with the cosmetic results. The authors noted that the technique is easy to perform and reproducible. No major complications were observed in the cases reported. The results suggest this method is a viable alternative to conventional face-lifts.

The authors conclude that the anterior medial cervicoplasty is a valid alternative to traditional face-lifts. The procedure offers good cosmetic results with minimal scarring. It is particularly suitable for patients who are not candidates for more invasive surgery. The technique is described as easy to perform and reproducible. The authors emphasize the benefits of local anesthesia and patient satisfaction. No essentiality or necessity claims are made beyond the authors' direct statements. The findings suggest this method addresses a specific need in cosmetic surgery. The authors propose that this technique should be considered in relevant clinical settings.
