Abstract
Hypoglossal nerve stimulation (HNS) device placement for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea has been growing in popularity. The incidence of patients requesting cervical rhytidectomy following implant placement is likely to increase proportionally to the incidence of device placement. This case report describes the preoperative and introperative considerations and details of successful rhytidectomy with platysmaplasty surgery with previous HNS device placement.
