Introduction: Introduction: Extended cervicoplasty is used to treat the aging stigmas of the lower third of the face, especially in cases of severe tissue sagging. However, the maintenance of its long-term results has been little studied in the literature. Objective: To assess the maintenance of the results of extended cervicoplasty in the long-term. Methods: Twenty-three patients with severe tissue sagging underwent extended cervicoplasty, having been followed up for five years. The postoperative results in the first and fifth year were evaluated by 8 plastic surgeons. The analysis of the results was performed using the McNemar and paired t-student tests. Results: In the first year, 12 (52.2%) patients had the outcome rated as very good, 9 (39.1%) as moderate and 2 (8.7%) as poor. In the fifth year, 9 (39.1%) had the outcome classified as very good, 11 (47.8%) as moderate and 3 (13.1%) as poor. None of the patients had the outcome rated as excellent or bad in any of the analyzed periods. There was no significant difference regarding the classification (p = 0.450); and the total score (p = 0.373) during the study period. Conclusion: Even in difficult cases, extended cervicoplasty provided good results that were maintained in the long-term.

Rhinophyma tends to determine important nasal changes, with aesthetic and functional impairment, especially in more advanced cases. Despite the various techniques already described, the search for the ideal treatment persists. Two patients with rhinophyma underwent tangential excision associated with electrocoagulation, with subsequent intensive cosmetic treatment. The described technique is effective, safe, with excellent aesthetic results and no recurrences during the study period. This proposed combined treatment appears as a great alternative for the treatment of rhinophyma due to its technical simplicity and its good long-term results.
