Abstract
Over the past four decades, the senior author has evolved and perfected his preferred
method for face and neck lifting, the extended superficial musculoaponeurotic system
deep plane rhytidectomy, and submentoplasty. With this procedure, the superficial
musculoaponeurotic system layer is addressed both in the face and neck, repositioning
the tissues in a superior and posterior vector and creating a sling in the cervicomental
area. Outcomes have proven to be both successful and long lasting. In this article,
a detailed update and discussion of the specific techniques utilized are provided.
