Deep Plane Facelift Before & After Case 208

This patient came to us with concerns about the aging appearance of her lower face and neck. She noticed increasing laxity in her neck skin and the development of jowls, which left her feeling less confident. Although she initially considered a neck lift, we discussed the potential benefits of a deep plane facelift to address not only her neck but also her jowls and jawline, areas that were contributing to her concerns.

Additionally, the patient felt her nose appeared overly full at the tip and disliked the dorsal hump along the nasal bridge. She described wanting a natural improvement rather than a dramatic change. She had no history of nasal trauma or previous rhinoplasty. During her consultation, we observed mild descent of her cheeks and skin redundancy under the chin, as well as an over-projected, bulbous nasal tip.

We proceeded with a deep plane facelift and rhinoplasty, aiming to create balanced, natural-appearing outcomes. Postoperatively, the patient achieved a smoother, more contoured jawline and a refined neck profile. Her nose now appears more proportionate to her facial features, with improved definition at the nasal tip and correction of the dorsal hump.
