남성 환자에서 하안면과 경부의 회춘을 위한 복합적 접근방법 = Combined Approach for Rejuvenation of the Lower Third of the Face and the Neck in the Male Patient

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most men develop deep crease in the nasolabial area and visible redundant tissue in the anterior neck with aging. The ideal operation for those patients seeking facial rejuvenation because of prominent nasolabial folds and neck soft-tissue laxity is the cervicofacial rhytidectomy. If the patient doesn't wish to have a conventional face/neck lift under general anesthesia, a combined approach based on summation of partially effective modalities is a good option.We present our experience with combined subcutaneous neck lift, platysmaplasty, mentoplasty, and platysma graft in the treatment of the lower third of the face and the neck, and obtained good results without complications using this comprehensive approach. In terms of morbidity, the procedure left inconspicuous scars. The platysma grafts remained in place and were not palpable and/or perceptible after insertion. Finally, postoperative recovery occurred uneventfully and no patients presented complications or the need for complementary treatment modalities.The incorporation of this innovative technique will provide us with more choices for addressing this controversial issue with a combined approach. The combination of proven methods may have better results than each one alone. It is a simple, safe, and inexpensive procedure that leaves no visible scars and has long-term adequate outcome. In conclusion, the presented procedure offers an additional technique of rejuvenating the lower third of the face and the neck with excellent results in the male patients.
