Facelift & Necklift

Looking at the before photo, this patient shows visible laxity along the lower face and neck, with soft tissue descent at the jowls, a less defined jawline contour, and notable fullness and looseness in the neck below the chin. The after photo shows the jawline appearing more defined, jowl prominence reduced, and the neck profile smoother and more taut in comparison.

She underwent a deep plane facelift and necklift performed by Joshua Surowitz MD & Andrea Garcia MD. The deep plane approach involves releasing and repositioning tissue at a deeper layer beneath the surface of the face, addressing the underlying soft tissue rather than the skin alone. The necklift component targets the neck, where changes in contour and definition are often most apparent.

For those researching a deep plane facelift and necklift in Charlotte, this case illustrates how the combination can address lower face and neck laxity together, with visible changes to jowl definition and neck profile shown in the after images.
