“…Proper compression after liposuction is of great importance. When liposuction of the inferior jowl is performed, the skin is manually tented to avoid rasping the mandible and minimize risk of any blunt trauma to the marginal mandibular nerve . We find that superficial liposuction is best achieved in optimal head and neck positioning, with the chin up.…”

“…In older adults and obese individuals, there is submental fat accumulation and skin laxity, leading to an increase in the cervicomental angle . Typically, there is softening of the mandibular contours, and the anterior borders of the sternocleidomastoid muscle are less pronounced.…”

“…I n older adults and obese individuals, there is submental fat accumulation and skin laxity, leading to an increase in the cervicomental angle. 1 Typically, there is softening of the mandibular contours, and the anterior borders of the sternocleidomastoid muscle are less pronounced. An aesthetically pleasing neck is an important component of physical appearance and is therefore a frequently targeted area for a variety of rejuvenation procedures.…”

“…2A,B). The smaller cannula size used for lipolysis may facilitate fat melting in fibrous locations without the additional trauma experienced with larger sized cannulas of standard liposuction, (2) It is ideal in revision surgeries where small areas of adiposity may not have been completely removed via previous lipoplasty or other body contouring procedures, (3) Lipoma removal [18], (4) Combining modalities such as combining fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing and laser lipolysis of the submental region to enhance neocollagenesis and skin tightening internally as well as externally [18], (5) Cellulite reduction using laser lipolysis have been documented [15]. The author used to do superficial liposuction with small cannula and low voltage laser skin tightening with the aim to improve cellulite in some patients.…”

Background: Significant weight loss patients have diverse soft tissue laxity that involve every area of their body. The aim of surgical interventions is to help these patients regain their form, function, and most importantly through minimal scars. The traditional excisional procedures inevitably end up with multiple noticeable scars that have mostly equal concern and complain to pre-excision soft tissue laxity. LAL is a bet new modality that proved its efficacy in reducing fat and induce skin tightening Non-MWL patients. The study her proved its efficacy in MWL patients. Material and Methods:The study was classified into 2 time-period related groups. They were before and after introduction of LAL in the author's practice. The study was conducted over 537 post MWL patients (194 and 343 patients in 1 st and 2 nd groups respectively). The number of total procedures for all were 1235 procedures. The follow-up period was from 5 M-2 Y. The number of bariatric to non-bariatric weight loss in the first group was 89:105 (45.9%: 54.1%). In the second group, it was 102:241 (bariatric: non-bariatric weight loss) in a percentage of (29.7%: 70.3%). Results:There was no significant difference in the age, weight, and regional skin redundancy and subcutaneous fat thickness in the baseline between two groups (p 0.05). When analyzing the data it was found that, 1-The number of MWL patients presented for body contouring increased after the author introduced LAL in his work, 2-A reversal in number of patients that had loss of weight through bariatric surgery and number of patients who lost weight through diet and exercise between 1 st and 2 nd groups (112/82:136/207), 3-The second group patients tended to have multiple procedures comparing to first group patients n -276 (1.4) Vs n -959 (2.9), 4-There was a little variable difference in number of procedures between patients that have loss of weight through bariatric and diet and exercise in either group (1.6-2.3 versus 2.8-4.3), 5-The number of excisional procedures was decreased in the second group (33% vs 77.5%), 6-The overall patients' satisfaction showed variable results with (81%) of second group being very satisfied in contrast to (55.5%) in first group, 7-The number of non-bariatric weight loss was higher in the second group (73.8% Vs 55.6%), 8-Improvement in skin appearance was more higher in the 1 st than 2 nd group (79.3% Vs 72.2%). Conclusion:The outcome of this study proved the efficacy and safety of LAL-ST in post MWL patients. 317

“…Ultrasonic-and laser-assisted lipolysis are advocated by some authors but are not universally accepted to be superior to conventional suction-assisted lipectomy in this anatomic area. 11,50 The senior author (FGF), to date, has acceptable results from conventional liposuction and direct lipectomy in the setting of rhytidectomy. Some of the undermining of the flaps may also be accomplished with the liposuction cannula, thus allowing greater mobility of the skin flaps while maintaining some of the vascular connections with underlying structures (►Fig.…”

The Difficult Neck in Facelifting

The management of the neck often presents the most challenging aspect of the facelift procedure. The aesthetic neck has a well-defined jaw line, a pleasing and adequate cervicomental angle, and visible definitions of the deeper lateral and midline structures, such as the sternocleidomastoid muscles and trachea. Several unfavorable anatomic characteristics will present that will compound the challenge. These characteristics are contrasted with ideal features and include the following: an excess of adipose tissue, an excess of either thin or thick inelastic skin, marked relaxation of the suspension structures of the neck with resultant platysma banding and jowling, and unfavorable skeletal features such as microgenia and hyoid malposition. These patients present for rhytidectomy with inadequate chin projection, an obtuse cervicomental angle, sagging skin, and a heavy neck. To maximize rhytidectomy results in these patients with difficult neck anatomy, special attention to the anatomy and application of recognized techniques in an individualized manner is recommended. This article reviews the issues encountered in the management of the difficult neck in facelifting, with special attention given to patients with a heavy neck.
