Deep Plane Facelift Before & After Case 196

This patient came to us seeking a significant improvement in the lower face and neck. She shared that she had tried nonsurgical options in the past, including Kybella injections to the neck, but had not been satisfied with the results. Over time, she noticed her cheeks and jowls had descended, giving her face a more square appearance. The skin on her neck began to loosen, and subtle banding under the chin became more noticeable. Together, we discussed her goals and how a Deep Plane Facelift could address these specific concerns.

During our in-person consultation, we reviewed the differences between a deep plane facelift and a SMAS facelift. We talked through recovery times, pricing and what to expect at the surgical center. For this patient, the deep plane technique offered a way to reposition both the skin and deeper tissues, creating natural-looking, durable improvement for her lower face and neck. The procedure also helped improve mild skin texture and provided support despite low subcutaneous fat and unique muscle structures in her neck. Our goal was to restore a more youthful contour to her jawline while maintaining harmony with her natural features.
