Innovative Surgical Approach Using a Mesh Sling for the Aging Neck.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Rejuvenation of the neck is essential to achieve a young facade. Different approaches for aging neck rejuvenation have been developed throughout the years. Most of them focus on specific elements that contribute to the aging neck. The main drawbacks of these techniques are recurrence of the platysma bands, malposition, deformations, salivary problems, and defatting. These disadvantages and limitations have led the author to create a novel surgical approach to improve the aging neck that would be suitable for most patients. Instead of dealing with each of the elements of the aging neck, the author's approach involves use of a sling to elevate all the descending elements as a whole to create a natural and longstanding result. METHODS:Since March of 2014, 10 patients have been operated on for neck lifting with this new approach. Four different types of material have been used: absorbable synthetic braided (Vicryl) in five patients, semiabsorbable synthetic braided and monofilament (Vypro) in one patient, absorbable synthetic matrix (TIGR) in three patients, and biological mesh-allograft material (AlloDerm) in one patient. Follow-up visits were made after 10 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually. RESULTS:In all cases, the operations were uneventful. There were no major complications. Minor complication occurred in one patient with the Vypro mesh. The mesh caused stiffness and was replaced. Final aesthetic results were satisfactory in all cases. CONCLUSIONS:Current approaches for improvement of the aging neck do not fit all aging neck cases and are suitable for only a specific dominant element. The aging neck tends to reappear faster than expected because of recurrence or dominance of another element. The author's novel approach is more predictable and is suitable for most cases regardless of the dominant part causing the aging. More experience and longer follow-up are needed to choose the most appropriate material for the mesh. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Therapeutic, IV.
