lüll Direct submentoplasty for neck rejuvenation Bitner JB; Friedman O; Farrior RT; Cook TAArch Facial Plast Surg 2007[May]; 9 (3): 194-200Facial plastic surgeons commonly see patients with submental laxity and an excess of skin and fat in the upper neck. This has colloquially been called the "turkey gobbler" deformity. In some cases, this deformity is the patient's only aesthetic concern, and full face-lift surgery is not desired. In this study, we reviewed the English-language peer-reviewed literature for descriptions of direct excisional submentoplasty techniques. Various designs for skin excision and wound closure have been used by surgeons over the past several decades. This article summarizes the surgical technique as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Furthermore, we propose an approach that incorporates many of the other designs but to our knowledge has not been described previously in the peer-reviewed literature. An understanding of these numerous approaches will better enable facial plastic surgeons to appropriately address and correct patient aesthetic concerns.|Humans[MESH]|Lipectomy/*methods[MESH]|Neck/*surgery[MESH]|Rejuvenation[MESH]|Rhytidoplasty/*methods[MESH] |
