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.

Facial aging prompts a shift in the demands for lifting procedures, transitioning from targeted improvements in younger individuals to overall facial contour enhancements as skin elasticity declines in later years. This paper examines the evolution of PDO volumizing threads, delineating their development from initial limitations to contemporary innovations aimed at addressing tissue deformation and maintaining thread integrity post-insertion. Categorizing these threads based on elasticity, shape, and functionality underscores their versatility and application nuances, catering to specific wrinkle correction, contour sculpting, and facial volume restoration.

The aged neck is the most common motivator for patients seeking facial rejuvenation. Unlike the deflated midface, surgical treatment is still the gold standard for optimal outcomes. It is our view that the majority etiology of both the aged neck and deflated midface is gravity's effects on the superficial soft tissue envelope, leading to soft tissue redundancy.

The growing diversity in both local and worldwide populations compels us to reevaluate our previous approaches and underscores the significance of departing from a singular aesthetic standard. Thankfully, the historical practice of stereotypical racial profiling has become less prevalent in the literature.

The deep-plane rhytidectomy was first described in 1990 and has gained traction in the past decade as supported by anatomy, embryology, and clinical evidence. Consumer dissatisfaction in facial rejuvenation procedures often occurs because procedures are too conservative and are undone. From the consumer's perspective, an outcome is a combination of the esthetic result, predictability, and the length of the recovery process.
