In select neck contouring procedures like this one, temporary netting sutures may be used to help secure the skin to the underlying tissues during the early stages of healing. By reducing the space between the skin and deeper structures, this technique can help minimize fluid accumulation, often eliminating the need for drains while providing additional support where it matters most.
The result is improved skin redraping, enhanced definition along the jawline, and a more visible cervicomental angle (the angle between the chin and neck) as healing progresses.
These sutures are temporary, removed after the initial healing period, and do not leave permanent marks. Every surgical plan is customized, but thoughtful techniques like this can play an important role in achieving a smooth, well-contoured neckline.
