dc.description.abstractBACKGROUNDThe removal of excessive neck skin is considered the key parameter in the best postoperative outcome after a neck rejuvenation surgery.OBJECTIVETo evaluate the utility of a local anesthesia-based direct neck skin excision surgery in patients with skin laxity and sagging skin in the neck in terms of postoperative aesthetic outcome and patient satisfaction within a 12-month follow-up period.MATERIALS AND METHODSA total of 47 female patients who underwent local anesthesia-based direct neck skin excision surgery for the rejuvenation of skin laxity and sagging skin in the cervical neck were included. Data on complications and patient-reported outcomes were recorded at the 12th month postoperatively.RESULTSPostoperatively, none of the patients developed suture breakage or loosening, infection, or bleeding, while ecchymosis (21.3%) and hypertrophic scar (17.0%) were manageable. At the 12th postoperative month, 93.6% of patients reported improved appearance and high satisfaction with the postoperative outcome in terms of a sustained tighter appearance in the neck.CONCLUSIONThe local anesthesia-based direct neck skin excision surgery in patients with skin laxity and sagging skin in the neck enables achievement and maintenance of a tighter appearance in the neck, with minor and manageable complications and high patient satisfaction.
