In brief. A review of 83 patients who had part of the submandibular gland removed during a deep-plane neck lift between 2018 and 2022, using LigaSure, a bipolar device that seals vessels and tissue. Over an average follow-up of 21 months there was no bleeding inside the gland, no haematoma and no sialoma. Three patients needed repeat seroma aspiration, and seven had temporary lower lip weakness that resolved within six months.
