Deep Plane Face Lift
Case dpfl-2026
Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift & Endoscopic Brow Lift for Facial Rejuvenation
This patient in her early 60s is shown after a deep plane facelift and neck lift combined with an endoscopic brow lift. In the after views, the jawline reads as a single continuous line from the chin to the mandibular angle, with the preoperative blurring between the face and neck now resolved. The cervicomental angle is sharper and more defined, and the submental fullness visible in profile has been reduced without over-tightening the skin. The midface retains its original volume, but the cheek pad sits higher, softening the nasolabial fold and restoring the ogee curve along the cheek. The brow position has been elevated slightly, opening the upper eyelid show while the patient's characteristic eye shape remains unchanged. Expression is preserved across every view; the corners of the mouth, the lateral brow, and the periorbital muscles move naturally rather than appearing fixed. From the oblique and profile angles, the transition from the midface to the jawline and neck is smoother, and the skin redrapes evenly without pleating or tension lines. The result is a more rested, structured version of the same face rather than a different person.

Case dpfl2-2026
Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Buccal Fat Removal & Endoscopic Brow Lift Before and After | Early 40s Facial Rejuvenation
This patient in her early 40s is shown after a deep plane facelift and neck lift combined with an endoscopic brow lift and buccal fat removal. The before images show early descent along the jawline, mild jowl formation, and a slight heaviness in the lower cheek that was beginning to blur the jaw contour. In the after views, the jawline is more clearly defined from the chin to the mandibular angle, while the patient's cheek volume and characteristic facial shape remain recognizable. The buccal fat removal narrowed the lower cheek just enough to sharpen the transition between the cheek and the jaw, without creating a hollow or aged look. The brow has been lifted subtly, opening the upper face and brightening the eye area. The neck contour is tighter and the submental fullness is reduced. Because the lift was performed in the deep plane, the skin was not pulled tight; instead, the deeper tissues were repositioned and the skin followed. The result reads as a fresher, more sculpted version of the same face.

Case dpfl3-2026
Endoscopic Brow Lift, Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift Before and After
This patient is shown after an endoscopic brow lift combined with a deep plane facelift and neck lift. In the after images, the jawline is more clearly defined from the chin to the mandibular angle, and the transition from the face to the neck is sharper. The midface retains its volume, but the cheek tissue sits higher, softening the fold between the nose and mouth. The brow has been elevated through small hidden incisions, opening the upper eyelid and brightening the eye area while preserving a natural brow arch. The neck contour is smoother, with less fullness beneath the chin and a more defined cervicomental angle. Expression is preserved; the lateral brow, the corners of the mouth, and the periorbital region all move naturally. The deep plane technique allowed the cheeks, jawline, and neck to be lifted together by repositioning the deeper support layers rather than tightening the skin. From the front, oblique, and profile views, the result is a more rested, structured version of the same face.

Case 75234
Secondary Lower Face and Neck Lift
At 50 years old, this patient underwent a secondary lower facelift and neck lift after having a previous face and neck lift performed by another surgeon nearly 10 years earlier. Performed comfortably in-office under local anesthesia, her updated “uptick” refreshed the jawline and neck while maintaining a natural, elegant appearance that still looks like her. These before-and-after photos, shown six months post-op, highlight smoother contours through the lower face, improved neck definition, and subtle rejuvenation without looking pulled or overdone. Secondary facelift procedures require a highly specialized understanding of facial anatomy, scar tissue, and prior surgical alterations in order to safely restore youthful structure and support while preserving facial identity.

Case 79318
Deep Plane Lower Face and Neck Lift
At 54 years old, this patient wanted improvement in her neck, jawline, jowling, and the heavy appearance through her lower face. She also struggled with deep acne scarring along the lower cheeks that had not responded to previous laser treatments, including fractionated CO2 resurfacing. Just two months after her lower facelift and neck lift, her results already show a dramatically more defined jawline, smoother neck contour, and a softer, more heart-shaped facial appearance rather than a bottom-heavy one. Her incisions were carefully hidden around the ears and inside the tragus, making them nearly imperceptible even early in healing. With minimal bruising and swelling, she was able to return to normal activities within about a week after surgery.

Case 104569
Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift with Upper and Lower Bleph, Lower with Fat Transposition
This patient is shown six months after a deep plane lower facelift and neck lift combined with upper and lower blepharoplasties, fat transposition beneath the eyes, facial fat grafting, and fractionated CO2 resurfacing. The jawline is more sculpted, with the mandibular border visible from the chin to the angle of the jaw, and the heaviness through the lower face and neck has been lifted and repositioned. The lower eyelids look smoother because the fat has been transposed to fill the tear trough rather than removed, which preserves youthful volume. The upper eyelids have a cleaner crease and less hooding. Fat grafting restored volume to the cheeks and midface, supporting the overlying skin and softening the nasolabial fold without overfilling. CO2 resurfacing improved skin texture around the eyes and central face, reducing fine lines and crepey skin. Visible submandibular glands remain on profile view, which the patient elected not to reduce. Overall, the face looks rested, structured, and like herself.

Case 106043
Beverly Hills, CA Patient Receives Facelift, Neck Lift
This patient is shown after a facelift and neck lift with Suzanne A. Trott, M.D., F.A.C.S., in Beverly Hills. The jawline traces a smoother, more defined line from the chin to the mandibular angle, and the neck shows improved definition with less fullness beneath the chin. The midface retains its characteristic volume, but the cheek tissue sits higher, softening the fold from the nose to the mouth. The skin redrapes evenly without visible tension lines, and the patient's natural facial character remains intact. The result is a more rested, structured version of the same face, with the deeper support layers restored to a more youthful position.
