Neck rhytidectomy: aesthetic treatment variations.
The aesthetic treatment of the cervical region had its real importance in neck rhytidectomy, after the publications of, among others, Padgett, Cardoso de Castro, Millard, Illouz. The author makes an analysis of various cervical pathologies, their treatment with lipoaspiration, lipectomy, and the connection of the platysma muscle (isolated and in conjunction). Pre- and postoperative aspects of cases of diverse neck deformities, and surgical procedures are discussed. Surgeries were done under sedation or local anesthesia as the case dictated. The importance of case-specific treatment for each patient is discussed. The author demonstrated one complication in a patient who underwent neck rhytidectomy before the therapeutic possibilities of today were developed.
