There are many procedures for the rejuvenation of the cervical region. Nevertheless, the most invasive ones – such as the rhytidectomy – can lead to relatively large unaesthetic scars. In contrast, noninvasive procedures – such as the classic absorbable lifting threads – have no significant effect on the treatment of the most evident platysmal bands. Aiming at solving the problem of short durability linked to the lifting threads and eliminating the undesirable submental scar caused by rhytidoplasty, a less invasive technique is described for the treatment of cervical laxity. This technique can be used isolatedly in patients with small amounts of skin redundancy, or associated to mini face lifts in patients with considerable sagginess.
