“…In the past 50 years, rhytidectomy has been performed with different techniques that ranged from minimal intervention to aggressive techniques, but the trend is to come back to the minimally invasive again. 7 We propose conservative neck rejuvenation (CNR), a new less invasive approach, to perform an effective lower face rejuvenation that provides subcutaneous undermining only to preserve dangerous deep planes. The platysma muscle is not resected to rejuvenate the neck as in many other techniques.…”

In the field of facial rejuvenation, among the recurrent topics, one of the most discussed is the return to less invasive techniques. Lower face rejuvenation is best achieved acting on the platysma muscle. Many techniques are used and usually include platysma section, redundancy reduction, and redraping. Platysma plication is also used especially in secondary cases because of the increased risk of nerve injury due to possible anatomical damage caused by previous operations. A technique that preserves the deep planes based on a new plication method is proposed (conservative neck rejuvenation). In this technique, the dissection plane is only subcutaneous to reduce the risk of nerve injuries. An effective neck contouring is possible using a simpler technique with very good results and a lower rate of morbidity.
