The integration of neck liposuction with FaceTite Manipulus Radiofrequency (RF) technology and buccal fat pad excision for enhanced neck rejuvenation promise heightened precision and efficacy in sculpting the neck and jawline. Neck liposuction, coupled with RF technology, provides controlled thermal energy for adipose tissue treatment and collagen remodeling, while buccal fat pad excision offers refined contouring of the lower face and neck. This integrated approach aims to optimize patient outcomes and advance the field of esthetic plastic surgery.
A prospective study was conducted from 2016 to 2023 on 80 consecutive patients who presented to the author's private clinic and required neck remodeling surgery for esthetic purposes. Patients were monitored and clinic appointments were scheduled at intervals of 0, 1, 3, 6 and 12 months post-treatment for evaluation. A tape measure recorded submental length at 1 and 6 months, and a satisfaction survey was administered one week before surgery and after six months. Physicians assessed improvement using a five-point scale for patient satisfaction and a four-point scale for overall improvement.
All patients underwent successful RFAL treatment, consistently achieving satisfaction with the outcomes. The average reduction in submental length measured 23 mm during the 6-month follow-up period. Additionally, the removal of buccal fat pads played a pivotal role in facial slimming and enhancing the esthetics of the upper cheek region.
The integration of neck liposuction with FaceTite RF technology and buccal fat pad excision offers a promising approach for enhanced neck rejuvenation and facial contouring. This combined method demonstrates heightened precision and efficacy in sculpting the neck and jawline, aiming to optimize patient outcomes and advance the field of esthetic plastic surgery.

颈部吸脂与FaceTite Manipulus射频（RF）技术及颊脂垫切除术相结合以增强颈部年轻化效果，有望在塑造颈部和下颌轮廓方面提高精准度和效果。颈部吸脂与RF技术相结合，为脂肪组织治疗和胶原蛋白重塑提供可控热能，而颊脂垫切除术则能对下脸和颈部进行精细塑形。这种综合方法旨在优化患者治疗效果并推动美容整形手术领域的发展。
2016年至2023年，对连续80例到作者私人诊所就诊、因美容目的需要颈部重塑手术的患者进行了一项前瞻性研究。对患者进行监测，并在治疗后0、1、3、6和12个月安排门诊预约进行评估。用卷尺在1个月和6个月时测量颏下长度，并在手术前一周和6个月后进行满意度调查。医生使用五点量表评估患者满意度，使用四点量表评估总体改善情况。
所有患者均成功接受了射频辅助吸脂治疗，对治疗效果始终满意。在6个月的随访期内，颏下长度平均减少了23毫米。此外，颊脂垫的切除在面部消瘦和提升上颊区域美观方面起到了关键作用。
颈部吸脂与FaceTite RF技术及颊脂垫切除术相结合，为增强颈部年轻化和面部塑形提供了一种有前景的方法。这种联合方法在塑造颈部和下颌轮廓方面显示出更高的精准度和效果，旨在优化患者治疗效果并推动美容整形手术领域的发展。
