Muscles of the Anterior Neck01:26

Muscles of the Anterior Neck

6.1K
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...

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
  • Facial Rejuvenation
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Facelift literature predominantly focuses on female patients.
  • Male facial rejuvenation requires unique anatomical and psychosocial considerations.
  • The short scar neck lift is presented as an alternative to the deep plane facelift for specific male patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the indications, technique, and outcomes of the short scar neck lift in male patients.
  • To evaluate its efficacy as an alternative to deep plane facelifts for localized cervical aging.
  • To highlight its advantages in terms of operative time, morbidity, and recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized limited periauricular incisions to target submental fullness, platysmal banding, and cervical skin laxity.
  • Selected ideal candidates with localized cervical and mandibular aging, excluding significant midface descent.
  • Considered combination with submental liposuction, platysmaplasty, and energy-based devices for enhanced outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Achieved meaningful improvement in cervicomental angle definition in appropriately selected patients.
  • Demonstrated reduced operative time, morbidity, and recovery compared to deep plane facelifts.
  • The procedure proved effective for localized cervical aging in male patients.

Conclusions:

  • The short scar neck lift is a versatile, lower-morbidity alternative for male facial rejuvenation.
  • Its targeted approach and adaptability make it suitable for localized cervical aging.
  • Favorable recovery profile positions it as a valuable option in the male facial rejuvenation surgical algorithm.
