“…The digastric muscle is sutured to the mylohyoid like a corset after lipectomy, which has been called the digastric corset technique (Labbe et al, 2013). However, some surgeons don't perform any procedures on the digastric (de Castro et al, 2012).…”

As one of the suprahyoid muscles, the digastric muscle is characterized by two separate bellies of different embryologic origins. The origin of the anterior belly is the digastric fossa, while the origin of the posterior belly is the mastoid notch. They share a common insertion: the intermediate tendon. When the digastric muscle contracts, the hyoid bone is raised. Opening of the jaw and swallowing of food boli are associated with digastric muscle activity. This review discusses the general anatomic features of the digastric muscle and its variation, primary functions, and clinical implications focused on surgical reconstruction and rejuvenation.

“…With age, the SMAS and platysma typically descend as a single musculofascial unit and, along with the jowl fat pads, obscure the inferior mandibular border and neck-face junction. However, the morphologic process of aging is also multifactorial and affects patients heterogeneously [5,13] . For example, all other characteristics being equal, patients with shorter, heavier necks with lesser skeletal support typically develop signs of aging, in particular fullness of the neck, sooner than those with longer, thinner necks with greater skeletal support [4,11,14] .…”

Neck aesthetics are a vital and indispensable component of cervicofacial beauty. Cosmetic deformities may be due to congenital or acquired etiologies and successful management depends on accurately diagnosing the underlying anatomical problems and applying the appropriate surgical and non-surgical procedures to achieve the desired result. For clinical evaluation and treatment, neck anatomy may be conceptualized into three layers wherein the superficial layer consists of the skin and subcutaneous fat, the intermediate layer of platysma muscle and interplatysmal fat, and the deep layer of subplatysmal fat, digastric muscles, submandibular glands, and skeletal support structures. The goal of this article is to review neck aesthetics, cosmetic deformities, and indications for different treatment techniques by way of a systematic layered approach.

“…45 Midline plication of the platysma may then be performed for correction of medial platysmal bands through several methods. [46][47][48][49] Guyuron et al established the vest-over-pants technique, which has been performed to improve neck contour. 50 Pioneered by Feldman, the corset technique involves use of a continuous suture connecting the medial borders of the platysma along almost the full vertical length of the neck.…”

Facial rejuvenation procedures have become more commonly performed due to an increasing elderly population and greater general public acceptance. As a result, patients are now increasingly undergoing secondary and tertiary rhytidectomies to treat natural aging and/or to correct complications from prior procedures. Revision face and neck lifts are more complex by nature of the procedure and require a comprehensive preoperative assessment for enhanced outcomes. In this review, we discuss the preoperative evaluation, surgical challenges encountered, primary face and neck lift deformities, and their surgical management for patients undergoing secondary face and neck lifts.

Updating the Concepts on Neck Lift and Lower Third of the Face

Abstract: Although the surgeon selects treatments for patients based on their deformities, it must be kept in mind that treatments must be selected to satisfy the patient's needs and preferences.
