Abstract
Introduction: Platysma bands are caused by excessive muscular activity and a novel a three-fold approach (denervation, platysmaplasty and skin resection) was developed to minimize recurrence.
Objectives: To investigate the efficacy, tolerability, and satisfaction of this new technique in a larger cohort.
Study design: A total of 80 patients were included in this prospective descriptive study and followed for 1 year.
Methods: Surgical platysma transection with intentional denervation was performed simultaneously with a primary rhytidectomy and recurrence, complications, and satisfaction assessed.
Results: Platysma band recurrence occurred in 10% of patients all of whom were >63 years old. There were no major postoperative complications, with a total of 35 minor complications (in 43.7% of patients). Satisfaction scores were high for both patients and the surgeon 1 year after treatment, with GAIS scores of 4.64 and 4.54, respectively.
Conclusions: This technique was effective and well tolerated, with low rates of recurrence and only minor complications.
