61. Elastic neck lift with three threads and four safety pins
Although surgical techniques for neck correction yield good immediate post-operative results, they are unable to achieve persistent results over time. Even if the anterior region of the neck is completely dissected and the platysma is manipulated, the medium- and long-term results are often unsatisfactory. Moreover, these procedures are demanding and traumatic; they can also create iatrogenic deformities and sometimes require long post-operative recovery. With the two-tipped Jano needle and the Elasticum thread Korpo, the tissues of the cheeks and neck are not dissected, but simply repositioned under local anesthesia. Here, we present a revolutionary technique of elastic lifting which permanently eliminates the defects of the neck with only two incisions a few millimeters behind the ear lobes, without neck dissection!

61. Lifting elastico del collo con tre suture e quattro spille di sicurezza
La cute cadente del collo è dovuta in gran parte alla ptosi delle guance che correggiamo con il MACS lift elastico. Corretta la ptosi verticale delle guance se residua un collo mal conformato possiamo eseguire il lifting elastico del collo con tre suture e quattro spille. Questo nuovo lifting ripristina una forma gradevole del collo. Invecchiando si perde la definizione dell’angolo cervico-mandibolare e si formano nel collo pliche cutaneo-muscolari verticali e, in basso, rughe orizzontali. Ricordo che la cute delle guance e del collo nell’Elastic Plastic Surgery non è mai scollata.
