Abstract
Creating tight and durable profile neck results has perhaps become the principal objective
of many surgeons. On social media such results are quickly recognized by colleagues
and potential clients alike, much more so than “en-face” results. Yet individual patient
characteristics play an essential role in determining if such results are technically
possible and also dictate which techniques are required to achieve it. In many patients,
these techniques involve manipulation of the deeper neck structures and are oriented
more laterally than the direct submental region. Each surgeon needs to decide which
technique feels proportionate in terms of an individualized risk–benefit analysis.
