Synopsis

The purpose of this presentation is to provide a systematic approach for the esthetic rejuvenation of the anterior neck. Patient selection, diagnosis, surgical execution and utilization of this procedure in combination with other surgical maneuvers will be emphasized. Benefits of this operation especially as an office-based procedure will also be described.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:

  1. Evaluate the esthetic value and benefit of anterior platysmaplasty as a routine component of every facial rejuvenative procedure.
  2. Describe a step by step approach in diagnosis, treatment plan, and surgical execution of an anterior neck rejuvenation procedure.
  3. Identify specific techniques employed in the rejuvenation of the neck (platysmaplasty) in order to augment other surgical procedures such as orthognathic surgery routinely performed by an OMS.
