[Anterior medial cervicoplasty].

Submental skin and fat excess are common with aging. Real cutaneous crop in pronounced forms, may be felt with difficulty by patients, which leads them to consult. The proposal of a conventional face-lift is not always suitable or accepted by a predominantly male population. Therefore, an anterior medial cervicoplasty with elliptical excision of excess skin and a medial platysmaplasty will be an interesting alternative. The authors offer a new description of this technique by simplifying, compared to the previously described techniques. Two clinical cases are reported, with both types of recommended incisions. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The results obtained by this technique were considered good to excellent by all operated patients in our unit. The final scar that may appear significant and sometimes unacceptable for some surgeons remains in fact very inconspicuous. The anterior medial cervicoplasty is an easy technique that allows responding gracefully to a frequent request, with good cosmetic results and few complications.
