Abstract

OBJECTIVE : A specific group of patients interested in facial rejuvenation was identified in a plastic surgery practice. These patients were primarily concerned with improving their neck contour and correcting their facial rhytides. To address those problems a one-stage paired technique was designed - cervicoplasty with full-face laser resurfacing. MATERIALS AND METHODS : Thirteen patients were treated with this procedure during a 1 year period. RESULTS : The patients experienced no significant complications and were extremely satisfied with their results. A retrospective study of 206 patients over the same year period revealed that the group undergoing the combination procedure: 1) was identifiable by the ranking of their specific aesthetic concerns; 2) was averse to undergoing a full facelift; and 3) comprised a significant percentage (22%) of surgical patients in the study period. CONCLUSIONS : Combining cervicoplasty with full-face laser resurfacing is a safe, effective procedure that provides another option in the realm of facial rejuvenation.
