Facelift Gallery Patient 882582

Sometimes a face and neck lift is just the thing that is needed, not filler, not microneedling, not PRP. This gorgeous 37-year-old woman felt that her cheeks were starting to fall along with small jowls forming and looseness under her chin. A deep plane face and neck lift was performed by Dr. Brace with a submentoplasty to contour the digastric muscles and deep fat pad. The platysma muscle and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) was then elevated to restore the natural facial volume over the cheek bones and to lift and support the floor of mouth and chin area while tightening the jawline. A deep plane facelift is not about pulling things tighter, rather it is about release of ligaments, repositioning the deep structure of the face from where they fell. There is zero tension placed on the incision lines, so the scars end up fine lines that hide around the ears and hairline. These photos demonstrate the results 6 months into healing. The scars will continue to fade over 12 months and lose all redness. The indication for a face and neck lift is never an absolute age, rather it is the anatomical changes that occur in the face. If there is descent of tissue, the tissue can be repositioned in a natural and rejuvenating way.
