Summary
This study introduces a less invasive neck rejuvenation technique focusing on the platysma muscle. The new method, conservative neck rejuvenation, reduces nerve injury risks and improves outcomes for lower face contouring.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Facial Rejuvenation Techniques
Background:
- Less invasive procedures are increasingly preferred for facial rejuvenation.
- Lower face rejuvenation often involves the platysma muscle.
- Conventional platysma techniques carry risks, especially in revision cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel, less invasive platysma plication technique for lower face rejuvenation.
- To describe a method preserving deep facial planes, minimizing nerve injury risks.
Main Methods:
- A conservative neck rejuvenation technique involving subcutaneous dissection.
- A new platysma plication method is utilized.
- Focus on preserving deep anatomical structures.
Main Results:
- The proposed technique achieves effective neck contouring.
- Results are favorable with a reduced rate of complications.
- Lower morbidity compared to traditional methods.
Conclusions:
- Conservative neck rejuvenation offers a simpler approach to lower face contouring.
- This technique effectively rejuvenates the lower face while minimizing risks.
- The method shows promise for improved patient outcomes in neck rejuvenation.

Muscles of the Anterior Neck
3.5K
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...

Veins of Head and Neck
3.9K
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...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
2.0K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

Muscles that Move the Head
4.3K
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...

Arteries of the Head and Neck
2.2K
The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
