    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Rejuvenation Techniques

    Background:

    • Standard skin facelifts have limitations in correcting submental laxity and neck cords.
    • Submental and cervical defatting combined with skin facelifts can increase complication risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the SMAS-platysma facelift for submental and neck rejuvenation.
    • To compare outcomes and complication rates of SMAS-platysma facelift with standard skin facelifts.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of a 6-year surgical experience with the SMAS-platysma facelift.
    • Comparative analysis of complication incidence, particularly hematomas, with standard skin facelifts.

    Main Results:

    • The SMAS-platysma facelift provides enhanced correction of submental laxity and hypertrophic neck cords.

  • The procedure demonstrates a low incidence of complications, including hematomas.
  • Hematoma and associated complications were less frequent than with skin facelifts involving defatting.

    • Conclusions:

    • The SMAS-platysma facelift is a safe and effective method for improving neck contour and rejuvenation.
    • It offers superior aesthetic results with a reduced risk profile compared to traditional facelift techniques involving defatting.
