Face and neck dissection: The “face/off” technique (Pomara C.).
An initial transverse incision in the upper part of the thorax is made from shoulder to shoulder (bisacromial). Then, a bimastoid resection is performed and it is continued to the bisacromial resection (Fig.1).


Fig.1 Bisacromial and bimastoid incisions are performed.

The cadaver is placed in a sitting position in order to access the posterior compartment of the cervical superficial fascia. The anterior biacromial transverse incision is continued posteriorly, through a longitudinal incision following along the posterior midline, extending to the sixth cervical vertebra. The skin was reflected superiorly (Figs.2-4).

The scalp is incised enough to allow the prosector to grasp the two edges with his hands, and the front half of the scalp is overturned anteriorly. The bimastoid incision is continued, by a scalpel, up to the superficial layers of the alveolar process of the maxillary bones. Eyelids and the skin of the nasal bone are preserved (Figs.5-6).

Fig.6 Dissection of the scalp from the bimastoid incision to the alveolar process of the maxillary bones.

The upper half of the skin from the posterior biacromial transverse incision is overturned until the posterior half of the bimastoid incision (Fig.7).

Fig.8 The face approach.


Fig.9 The face approach.

From the upper half of the skin of the anterior biacromial transverse incision, a dissection of the cutaneous and subcutaneous tissues is performed until the superficial layers of the alveolar process of the maxillary bones (Figs.8-9).

Any idea what the purpose of this is? Is this for a face transplant?

Perhaps preparations for an anatomy class. There would be no reason for this type of incision/process during an autopsy.

Strangely arousing. I'm gonna go shower.

Purely for shits and giggles.

Nah, before she died she told her nearest and dearest that she wanted to get off her face one more time. Then again and agai.....Yeah.

They carried out her wishes.
