deep plane facelift and necklift, lower blepharoplasty (lower eyelid lift)

Before surgery, this patient presented with visible jowling along the lower face and jaw, laxity in the neck, and puffiness with soft tissue fullness in the lower eyelid area. The oblique and lateral views also show reduced definition along the jawline and a lack of separation between the chin and neck.

Joshua Surowitz MD & Andrea Garcia MD performed a deep plane facelift and necklift, facial fat grafting, and lower blepharoplasty. A deep plane facelift repositions tissue beneath the superficial muscle layer of the face. The necklift addresses laxity in the neck. Facial fat grafting involves transferring fat to areas of the face. Lower blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and soft tissue in the lower eyelid area.

For prospective patients researching a deep plane facelift and necklift in Charlotte, the photos above illustrate what the procedure can address. In this case, the combined surgical plan targeted laxity in the lower face and neck alongside changes in the lower eyelids and facial volume.

In the after photos, the jawline appears more defined relative to the before images, and the neck shows a cleaner contour from both the frontal and lateral views. Lower eyelid fullness appears reduced. Facial proportion across the frontal and oblique views is visibly different, with a more distinct boundary between the lower face, jaw, and neck.
