A Fuente del Campo. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1998 Oct.

Abstract

A variation of platysmaplasty, consisting in the overlapping (double-breasted fashion) of the platysma muscles in the midline, solely through submental approach, is described. It allows excellent platysmal suspension and neck recontouring, eliminating the need of posterior traction of the platysma muscle and avoiding in many cases the cervical incisions.
