Background: Despite the significant roles it plays in the functions of the platysma and lower lip, the cervical branch of the facial nerve is often overlooked compared to other branches, but its consideration is critical for ensuring the safety of neck surgeries.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to clarify the anatomical discrepancies associated with the cervical branch of the facial nerve to enhance surgical safety.
Methods: The study utilized 20 fresh-frozen hemiheads.
A deep comprehension of key anatomical issues, along with the targeted application of suitable therapies, is vital for attaining exceptional neck contours. Traditional surgical approaches often focus solely on modifying subcutaneous fat and, occasionally, the platysma muscle, neglecting subplatysmal structures. This narrow focus may yield less-than-ideal results and potentially exacerbate existing issues, leading to additional contour abnormalities that prove challenging to correct.
