Although many studies have reported complications following deep neck lifting and submandibular gland (SMG) reduction, reported rates remain heterogeneous because of inconsistent definitions and attribution of gland-specific events. Parotid-tail minimal shaving, originally proposed by Talei, has gained attention as a conservative option for posterolateral contour refinement; however, its clinical safety profile has not been systematically evaluated, particularly in East Asian patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this study was to evaluate the overall safety and procedure-specific complication profiles of SMG reduction and parotid-tail minimal shaving performed during deep neck lifting in an East Asian cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective single-center study included 341 consecutive East Asian patients who underwent deep neck lifting between August 2024 and July 2025. SMG reduction was performed in 240 patients, and parotid-tail minimal shaving in 81 patients; 20 patients underwent both procedures during the same operation. Gland-related complications were assessed during postoperative follow-up of up to 6 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 341 patients, hematoma was observed in 4 (1.17%), infection in 3 (0.88%), and seroma in 6 (1.76%). Transient cervical-branch weakness was observed in 5 patients (1.47%) and marginal mandibular nerve weakness in 2 patients (0.59%). SMG-related sialocele was observed in 1 patient (0.29%), whereas parotid-related sialocele was observed in 3 patients (0.88%).
