Of these, 641 patients (34.4%) underwent deep neck surgery, with an average age of 52 years; 14.6% were men, and 29% were smokers. A total of 12.3% experienced complications after deep neck sculpture. The most common complications were subcutaneous serous collection (4.3%), followed by marginal mandibular neuropraxia (3.3%) and hematomas (2.96%).
