It appears as a bilateral triangular fold extending from the mastoid to the acromion with hairy skin abnormality. Structural variation of the fold, as described by Mehri Turki's webbed neck classification, implies appropriate surgical repair. Despite the availability of a range of surgical techniques, it remains difficult to choose the most suitable one. Thus, this report aims to compare the lateral approach techniques by selecting those providing the best results. A literature search using PubMed and Google Scholar Database identified lateral approach techniques for pterygium colli. A critical reading led us to select criteria for comparison, linked to procedures and results. Moreover, according to aesthetic results, surgical techniques were classified into three categories. A total 16 articles were published from 1937 to 2020 and enrolling 48 patients were selected. The neck contour was obtained with all procedures. However, scars were hidden at the posterior neck in only 10 reports. Otherwise, the posterior hairline was corrected in only 6 reports. According to these outcomes, a classification of surgical technique was made allowing their pragmatic assessment. An objective assessment of lateral approach techniques was realized to help surgeons choose the most convenient one. From this study, a classification arises, based on aesthetic results, distinguishing three groups of surgical techniques and allowing their comparison. Techniques belonging to Group 2, using cervical advancement flap, were the most suitable, mainly both techniques described by Reichenberger and Mehri Turki.</p>","PeriodicalId":12195,"journal":{"name":"Facial Plastic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"669-676"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Autologous tissues, such as superficial muscular aponeurotic system grafts, offer additional benefits including minimal immune response, high compatibility, and lasting enhancement.The technique is consistent across most implants which includes making vertical stab incisions just medial to the oral commissure, dissecting in an intramuscular plane within the orbicularis marginalis just under the white roll, and then tunneling the implant to the other side with a tendon passer. The lips are stretched to incorporate the implant and inspected for irregularities prior to closing the incisions.Augmentation with implants offers the appeal of a more permanent augmentation minimizing the need for repeated interventions.

Second visit: photo analysis was presented as well as the hypothesis of correction expressed by morphing (morphing with Adobe Photoshop software). We termed the differences between light and shade of the lateral nasal walls, the dorsum and the brow dome line and nose cheek line as the \"Chiaroscuro of the nose.\" This term is significant in the process of morphing of the frontal view. We used this method of morphing in the simulation process of 126 patients. The age range was 15 to 59 years old. A total of 67% (84) were females and 33% (42) were males. A total of 43% (54) of the cases were revision cases. At the postoperative visits, all patients were more satisfied with their operative result than with their \"morphed\" simulation.

The goal of this paper is to review the philosophy, techniques, and evidence supporting perioral aesthetics in FGAS with specific attention to the lips, chin, and submentum.Masculine appearance is typically associated with greater upper lip height, labial volume, and mouth width, whereas female appearance exhibits increased upper incisor show with a softer, tapered chin shape. The masculine chin is wider and taller with greater anterior projection, whereas the feminine chin is typically more narrowed. The contour of the submentum is impacted by skeletal and soft tissue differences, with males displaying a more angular profile.Techniques for lip feminization include the subnasal lip lift and various injectables for altering lip contour. For chin contouring, several genioplasty techniques exist, including the T-genioplasty. These procedures may utilize virtual surgical planning. Submental liposuction and platysmaplasty can refine the submental area to highlight underlying osseous structures. Augmentation of the mandible, typically using implants, can be utilized for masculinization of the perioral region.Careful attention to the lips, chin, and submentum can help achieve desired outcomes in both facial feminization and masculinization.
