50yo deep plane face and necklift patient - she’s ecstatic because her closest friends say she looks exactly like herself ten years ago.
She had felt frustrated by stubborn heaviness to her neck that seemed to accumulate with age, and hadn’t responded to nonsurgical treatments including repeated rounds of Kybella.
I performed a deep plane facelift with plastymaplasty, tailored to focus on her goals - to lighten and lift her neck, treat fullness under the chin, and create an elegant jawline. As an added bonus, a deep plane lift is especially powerful at restoring natural cheek volume over the cheek bones.
