Abstract

Various techniques have been used to address the aging changes of the neck. This article reviews this evolution and describes the complete corset platysmaplasty procedure as the choice for optimal improvements in neck rejuvenation, especially when dealing with a “difficult neck.” Evaluation and treatment of the aging neck must always be individualized and when the complete corset platysmaplasty is performed for those that are candidates, our experience shows greater immediate as well as long term satisfaction with less recurrence.
