Sometimes, a beautiful result comes from doing ONLY what is needed.
This lovely patient is 🗓️5 months post-op: Deep Plane Facelift and look at the transformation!
Her midface is beautifully elevated and supported, the lower face tightened, and her jawline and neck sculpted to perfection.
No overdone look, just refreshed, natural elegance. We’re both thrilled with how youthful and like-herself she appears.
🤔So when do we add ancillary procedures for balanced facial rejuvenation? Only when truly indicated, never routinely.
-Heavy or full necks often benefit from submandibular salivary gland reduction and deep neck sculpting for a sharper contour.
-Descended brows or significant excess neck skin/laxity? A brow lift improves the aging upper face by repositioning the brows and helps continue that vertical lift, smoothing skin redraping along the temple area. Not doing a brow in a patient with significant neck skin laxity limits the vertical elevation of the lower face.
-Hooded or puffy lower eyelids? Blepharoplasty as needed.
-Volume loss in cheeks/temples/marrionette lines/pre-jowl sulcus/deflated earlobes or other areas? Strategic facial fat transfer for harmonious fullness.
The goal is always harmony and longevity without unnecessary steps. Deep plane technique often delivers impressive results on its own, as seen here.
