Summary
This surgical neck lift approach offers enhanced control over neck anatomy for improved appearance. The technique, refined over 38 years, yields durable results despite its complexity.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Aesthetic Surgery
- Facial Anatomy
Background:
- Presents an updated surgical neck lift technique.
- Focuses on precise control of neck anatomical features affecting appearance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a refined surgical neck lift strategy.
- To detail operative tactics developed over 38 years of clinical experience.
Main Methods:
- Review of 522 consecutive neck lifts (2004-2013).
- Key features include open submental access, lateral skin excision, precise fat removal, individualized subplatysmal adjustments, salivary gland management, corset platysmaplasty, and isolated neck lift facilitation.
Main Results:
- Demonstrates outcomes through case examples.
- Highlights the potential for durable results.
Conclusions:
- The updated neck lift approach is complex and invasive.
- The aesthetic benefits justify the surgical complexity.

1.1K
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...

01:26Muscles of the Anterior Neck
6.4K
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...

01:30Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques
915
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

01:14Muscles for Facial Expressions
6.3K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

01:19Muscles that Move the Head
7.7K
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...

A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.
