Deep Plane Facelift — Before & After

Dr. Levesque on the Deep Plane Facelift

When submental fullness and jawline laxity make someone look tired, an open anterior neck lift lets me directly address the deep neck, while the deep plane lift repositions the midface. Extending the incision into the temporal region gave a subtle lateral brow lift to open the eyes.

Fat grafting to the inferior orbit, temples, and nasolabial folds restored the hollows, and the whole plan was designed to harmonize with her features rather than erase them. Sutures came out at a week, swelling settled in days, and she was back to her social life quickly.
