Abstract
Liposuction of the lower face and neck regions is a time-honored technique associated with aesthetically pleasing long-term results in the majority of patients. The keys to achieving an excellent outcome remain, as always, appropriate patient selection and proper execution. Modern ideals tend to favor more natural, blended results rather than the skeletonized appearance noted often in the past. Particular attention in the preoperative assessment must be directed at evaluation of the position of the hyoid bone and submandibular glands as well as the patient’s overall body habitus. Concurrent rhytidectomy, neck lift or platysma plication may be required if significant skin laxity is present.
