Concepts of neck lift.

Traditional skin-tightening or neck-lifting has been and still is a satisfactory method for correcting an unsightly neck. In cases of fatty neck, prominent platysmal bands, or both, additional measures must be employed if the defects are to be corrected. Excellent techniques have been developed in the past several years to correct these defects but are not without their own problems. A more conservative approach to the platysma has been used satisfactorily, but in all cases the patient should be appraised of the anatomic problems and provide some input into the approaches used.

Direct alternatives for neck skin redundancy in males.

The problem of redundancy of tissue of the neck, often called "turkey gobbler neck," can be corrected satisfactorily without performing a traditional face--neck lift (Fig. 4). This can be achieved with a vertical excision of skin, resection of fat, Z-plasty to the medial platysmal edges, and skin closure in a Z fashion. This operation is limited to males who distinctly prefer not to have a face-neck lift and is done only after description of the resulting scar which, because of its direction and location, has not been obtrusive.

Recurrent basal cell carcinoma. A review concerning the incidence, behavior, and management of recurrent basal cell carcinoma, with emphasis on the incompletely excised lesion.

Although controversial among dermatologists and surgeons, the conclusion based on this review is that basal cell carcinomas, with marginal histologic involvement, should be reexcised. When the margins contain tumor with one high-power field (400X), it is reasonable, in view of the 12 percent recurrence risk, to carefully follow patients who are elderly or are experiencing other extenuating circumstances.
