Abstract

Neck treatment is important for better contouring and repositioning of structures that suffer from ptosis over time. Global facial aging can be treated by 6 vectors (V1–V6). The neck region corresponds to vectors 4 to 6, which can be treated together or individually. This technique consists in the placement of three types of sutures: a first line of sutures tractioning the platysma and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, a second single suture at the level of the thyroid cartilage, and a third running suture starting at the level of the thyroid cartilage up to the supramental region. With the triple-suture technique, the long-term results are maintained in the experience of the senior author.
