4 months post-op:

-deep plane face lift (with temporal brow extension)
-deep neck lift (with submandibular gland reduction)
-ear lobe detachment (to correct congenital pixie)
-otoplasty ear pinning (done 1 month ago)

We added some dynamic smile photos to highlight improvement of the banding in the neck and jawline.. which can be challenging to correct. Truly a please to care for this beauty.

Revision-Reduction Genioplasty, 1 year post-op. Reduction geniopalsties are complex, as are revision geniopalsties. Revision-reduction (as opposed to revision-augmentation or primary-reduction) are the hardest and most complex genioplasty types and I recommend young surgeons to ease into these kind of cases.

This is because with reduction of the chin bone, you can lose support of the soft tissue and muscles around the chin jawline neck and lower lip, profoundly aging someone. Additionally, revision geniopalsties are more complex both technically for the surgeon and emotionally for the patient, so complexity becomes compounded. In this case we were able to manage the hard and soft tissues around the chin effectively and got this beautiful young woman to a great place. Very happy for her and her particularly warm and kind family.

6 weeks post-op.. our very own Emi.

-Deep plane facelift lift
-Deep neck lift w/ submandibular gland reduction (preservation style)
-Brow lift (minimally invasive)
-Buccal fat reduction
-Custom button chin implant

This one of three cases that will be presented at our upcoming intensive course with . A 34-year-old woman with early jowling and squaring of the lower face, heaviness of the cheeks, neck, and brow. There are many opinions on when to treat younger patients with a “facelift”. If a patient is in their mid 30s or early 40s, and you’re doing anything to reduce heaviness in the lower face and neck, ask yourself what that will look like in 4-5 years. in Many cases, an isolated neck lift may expose early jowling and midface-jawline laxity, even if it’s only relative to a rejuvenated neck. In these patients, treatment of the mid and lower face is often prudent to ensure long-term satisfaction and a more properly tailored result.

Laws of the Kitchen.. what you see here a group of individuals. What actually is here, is one team, singular in mindset, dedicated to creating the tightest maxillofacial and plastic surgery center possible. Fully bought-in to the vision. They work with pride, and have each others back. Masters of their craft. Each one plays an enormous role in our patients’ outcomes and everyday I look forward to working with them.

As we close out 2025, the Hanna Face and Jaw team would like to wish all of our friends and family a warm and joyful holiday season. What a year! ❤️

2 Month Post Op clinicals.. custom genioplasty, submentoplasty deep neck lift, buccal fat reduction. In cases like this, only 50% of the result actually comes from what we do to the chin. The other 50% comes from what we do to the soft tissue around the chin (cheeks and neck). These combined effects exponentially decrease the roundness of a convex face, without the need for overcorrection, giving angularity and definition of bone structure. Very happy for him!

2 Months Post-Op: Custom genioplasty, submentoplasty neck lift, and buccal fat reduction (with fat repurposing/grafting). Soft tissue procedures of the neck and cheeks enhance hard tissue procedures of the chin and jaw.

I think of the chin much like the nose of the lower face. It plays a central role in defining the lower facial third, and its intricate anatomy is closely related to the lips, similar to the nose. Some individuals may have isolated chin deficiencies; genioplasty or chin implants can address these. Conversely, weak chins may also be part of a broader jaw deficiency, requiring a combination of jaw surgery plus chin augmentation. Many individuals with weak chins or jaws also display soft tissue ptosis (looseness) in the buccal fat pads and submentum (area under the chin and jaw) due to inadequate structural support of the bone. Creative genioplasty techniques and addressing the soft tissue can effectively treat various conditions when jaw surgery is not indicated, or desired by the patient.

1 month post op upper eyelid and subtle fat grafting of the . There is actually almost 3 years between these photos as this beauty has entrusted us with multiple other esthetic face and jaw procedures over the years. The eyelids are the “salt on the meal” so to speak. *The last photo reflects the eyelids during smile, which is something patients often note at consultation, but is rarely shown in before and after photos.

Lower (after cancer removal ). Using creative soft tissue reconstructive techniques and core geometric principals we were able to reconstruct this defect with one stage, same day. Mouth opening and function is unchanged, scar is barely visible at 3 months.. and will get better and better still. Best part of the job ❤️

The beauty of the deep plane face lift, especially in younger patients, is that you can do a lot without looking like you did a lot.

This is a very beautiful woman, and very young by facelift standards, who was previously highlighted on our page at 9 days post-op. She’s now 10 weeks out from her deep plane facelift. *This was not for aging, but to correct an issue that she had from acne scar treatment several years ago leaving her with prematurely heavy cheeks (see prior post for case details including bilamellar subcision component).

The red and blue circles identify landmark cheek scars that show us the vectors and degree of lifting. We removed almost 2 inches of skin per side in a vertical vector with zero tension, which is more than I would sometimes remove on even older patients with much more loose skin using non-deep plane techniques.

By releasing the facial ligaments within the deep plane, you’re able to passively reposition the facial tissues much more, without things being, or looking, pulled.

This is really the key to the natural esthetic of modern-day face lifting. Very happy for this gorgeous woman.

1 month post-op custom genioplasty. This is a great example of exploring surgical options because, sometimes, there is more than one right answer.

Classically this would be a jaw surgery plus genioplasty case, which was my recommendation. She wanted the genioplasty only, so we had to find ways to achieve a meaningful projection (~1cm) while avoiding the pitfalls of large isolated chin advancements.

Gladly, we were able to achieve the desired chin projection to balance her lower face with her upper and middle thirds. All while creating elegant curves and angles between the lower lip-chin-neck — especially notable during smile. Sculptural and feminine. Very happy for this beauty ❤️
