Abstract
A technique is described in which suction-assisted lipectomy is used for excessive fat removal in association with the standard rhytidectomy. It is safe, reliable, and can be performed through a small horizontal submental incision. A more natural appearing neck is produced by adjusting the amount of fat removed. Areas previously considered dangerous for excision because of possible damage to branches of the facial nerves, such as the cheek areas, jowls, parotid, and nasolabial folds, can now be approached.
