Deep Plane Facelift

The before photo shows visible laxity along this patient's jawline and neck, with soft tissue descent that softened jaw definition and created a less distinct transition between the face and neck. The after photo shows a more defined jawline contour and a cleaner cervical angle, with the neck and lower face appearing notably tighter relative to the before state.

Joshua Surowitz MD & Andrea Garcia MD performed a deep plane facelift and necklift to address these areas. The deep plane facelift works at a deeper layer of facial tissue beneath the skin and muscle, repositioning structures in the mid and lower face. The necklift addresses the neck in conjunction with the facelift, targeting the changes visible in this patient's before photo along the jawline and beneath the chin.

For those researching deep plane facelift and necklift in Charlotte, this case illustrates what the combined procedure addresses: laxity in the lower face and neck, where soft tissue descent creates a less defined jaw contour and cervical profile.

Comparing the two photos, the jawline reads as more continuous and defined in the after image, and the neck shows a more distinct angle at the chin. The overall change in the lower face and neck is visible across both views.
