Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

1.8K
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...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

16
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...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

2.0K
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...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.0K
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.
Introduction
The initial evaluation of a patient's respiratory system...

Muscles that Move the Head01:19

Muscles that Move the Head

2.0K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Traditional neck contouring often overlooks subplatysmal structures, leading to suboptimal aesthetic outcomes.
  • Factors like subplatysmal fat and digastric muscles significantly influence neck contour.
  • Addressing these deep structures is crucial for correcting obtuse neck contours.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive guide on deep neck contouring techniques.
  • To detail indications, strategies, and surgical steps for managing subplatysmal anatomy.
  • To address surgeon unfamiliarity and concerns regarding subplatysmal procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on subplatysmal anatomical structures including fat, digastric muscles, and submandibular glands.
  • Utilizing a submental incision for precise access to deep neck structures.
  • Step-by-step description of the senior author's surgical techniques.

Main Results:

  • Subplatysmal contouring yields natural, refined, and harmonious neck aesthetics.
  • Published series and clinical experience show favorable long-term outcomes.
  • The described techniques are associated with a minimal complication rate.

Conclusions:

  • Deep neck contouring through subplatysmal approaches is essential for optimal results.
  • Mastery of deep neck anatomy and surgical techniques leads to excellent aesthetic outcomes.
