Deep Plane Facelift

The before photos show visible laxity along the lower face and neck, with soft tissue descent along the jawline and fullness beneath the chin. The neck profile, in particular, shows a less defined cervicomental angle. The after photos, taken two months after the procedure, show a more continuous jawline contour and a noticeably sharper angle between the chin and neck.

Joshua Surowitz MD & Andrea Garcia MD performed a deep plane facelift and necklift on this patient. In a deep plane facelift, the surgeon works at a deeper layer of tissue beneath the skin, repositioning structures in the mid and lower face rather than the skin alone. The necklift addresses soft tissue and contour in the neck region.

Prospective patients researching a deep plane facelift and necklift in Charlotte often want to know what the procedure is suited to address. The photos here show laxity concentrated along the lower face and the neck, which is a common presentation for this combined approach.

At two months post-procedure, the after images show a more defined jawline, reduced fullness under the chin, and a sharper neck profile relative to the before photos.
