Pilot Study: Minimally Invasive Hyoid Suspension Lift: A Case Series and Technical Description.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The cervicomental angle is a critical anatomical feature in neck aesthetics, and age-related changes can lead to sagging, platysma bands, and loss of definition. Traditional neck rejuvenation techniques focus on tightening the horizontal platysma but often fail to restore the cervicomental angle. This study evaluated a minimally invasive hyoid suspension (MIHS) lift, which anchors the platysma to the prehyoid deep cervical fascia through a limited submental incision.

Methods

Between October 2023 and July 2024, 6 female patients (mean age, 63.0 y) underwent the MIHS lift alongside face lift and liposuction. The technique involved minimal subcutaneous dissection and direct platysma anchoring to reduce scarring and tissue trauma. The submental incision was limited to
