title: Direct approach to the difficult anterior neck region.
abstract: This article presents an alternative method to correct the sagging neck with a local dermolipectomy and median platysma duplication. The technique is recommended mainly for the older patient with redundant skin and fat in that region and who, for some reason, does not want to undergo a facelift.
