Deep Plane Facelift

The before photo shows visible laxity along the jawline and neck, with soft tissue that has descended along the lower face and contributed to less-defined contours in both areas. The after photo, taken five months after surgery, shows a notably sharper jaw-neck angle, a more defined jawline, and reduced laxity in the neck and lower face.

Joshua Surowitz MD & Andrea Garcia MD performed a deep plane facelift and necklift. In a deep plane facelift, dissection occurs beneath the superficial muscular layer of the face, allowing the underlying soft tissue to be repositioned. The necklift addressed the neck in the same procedure.

For those researching deep plane facelift and necklift in Charlotte, this case illustrates what the procedure can address: descent and laxity in the lower face and neck that alters the definition of the jaw and chin-neck contour.

At five months, the photos show improved definition along the jawline and a smoother neck profile relative to the before images.
