Abstract
• Adequate correction of an obtuse cervicomental contour frequently requires not only fat removal but tightening of the platysma muscle as well. The introduction of liposuction as a safe and effective technique for removing subcutaneous fat and sculpturing the neck has created some confusion as to the need, if any, to manipulate the platysma muscle.
