Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

7.6K
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...

Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

6.2K
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 of the Shoulder01:23

Muscles of the Shoulder

9.4K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

1.2K
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...

Muscles of the Vertebral Column01:27

Muscles of the Vertebral Column

5.3K
The back muscles that lie deep into the thoracolumbar fascia are called intrinsic or true back muscles. These muscles are divided into four layers: superficial, intermediate, deep, and deepest layers.
Superficial Layer:
The superficial layer consists primarily of the splenius muscles, which include the splenius capitis and splenius cervicis. These muscles are mainly responsible for the head and cervical spine movements, including extension, rotation, and lateral bending. The splenius capitis...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

7.7K
The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This vertical neck lift technique repositions cervicomental skin laxity upward onto the face. It extends the deep plane facelift to release neck ligaments, avoiding midline platysmal surgery for optimal vertical redraping.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Aging leads to cervicomental laxity, often addressed with facelifts.
  • Traditional facelifts may not fully correct vertical neck sagging.
  • The SMAS-platysma complex is crucial for neck contour.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an extended deep plane facelift technique for vertical neck lifting.
  • To evaluate the redraping of cervicomental laxity vertically.
  • To elucidate indications for combining this technique with submental surgery.

Main Methods:

  • An extended deep plane facelift elevating the skin and SMAS-platysma complex as a unit.
  • Lengthening the deep plane flap into the neck to release cervical retaining ligaments.
  • Avoiding routine midline platysmal surgery to facilitate vertical redraping.

Main Results:

  • The technique achieves vertical redraping of cervicomental laxity onto the face.
  • It effectively releases limiting cervical retaining ligaments.
  • The procedure is suitable for most aging face patients, with specific indications for combined submental surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The vertical neck lifting procedure offers a novel approach to cervicomental rejuvenation.
  • It provides an alternative to lateral or postauricular redraping for neck laxity.
  • Careful patient selection is key for optimal outcomes, especially when combining with submental procedures.
