Q1: How long is the recovery period from a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
A1: It's not as extensive as when I do the face and neck lifting together. However, it requires recovery. The appearance of it is going to look good in three to four days. However, the healing process, numbness, tightness, and feeling a little awkward in the neck area, which you feel internally but is not seen outwardly, is going to take a while. The tissue internally is going to need to heal, and that deep swelling is going to need time to subside, so you get a beautiful, high-definition job.

Q2: What Are The Different Types Of Neck Lifts?
A2: There are two different types of neck lifts.

For people who are young like her, in order to correct the excess tissue that is hanging down, I don't need to cut anything behind the ears to lift the tissue. I will be able to do all the work with a small incision under the chin.

If somebody is older, around 35, and also has laxity in the skin, I have to make an incision behind the ear and lift the tissue from the side as well.

Which is right depends on the person. Each individual is different. It's irrelevant of the age, honestly. It just depends on how much laxity, genetics everything is involved.

Q3: How do I know if I need both a Face & Neck Lift, or am I a candidate to just get my neck done?
A3: Although I can take an educated guess, I can't tell just by looking at someone's photo. A consultation is the most accurate and sure way to tell. That way, I can touch and feel that tissue and figure out how much laxity there is, what's going to be afterward. These all come with experience and dealing with similar things in the past.

My patient asked me the other day how long they'd have to wait before they could safely wear makeup and go out without worrying about disrupting their healing.

I'll give you the clichรฉ doctor response first: โ€œIt varies from patient to patient.โ€

I know that's not a satisfying answer, so let me elaborate a little more. Thereโ€™s no getting around the fact that recovery is more of a spectrum than an absolute. Post-op treatments, genetics, stress, and the type of procedure are just some of the factors that play into the healing process.

On the shorter end, you have patients like Chari who, at only 4 weeks out, was on a red carpet, fully made up with her husband. And honestly, if I didnโ€™t know better and someone told me she had a facelift just 4 weeks prior, I would have trouble believing it.

On the longer end, I have patients like Lee or Cheryl who have shared their recovery stories with you and also had wonderful results, but their swelling simply took a little longer to settle for one reason or another.

So, after all that, what is my answer? You SHOULD be able to wear SOME makeup around the 3-week mark. Now there are stipulations to that, and that is where listening to your surgeon comes in. The type of makeup, how much you want to use, and the placement of your incisions all matter. For instance, if you had a lip lift, we may ask you not to put makeup over those incisions, whereas you wouldnโ€™t have to worry about that with incisions hidden in your hairline or behind your ears.

When in doubt, always ask questions. Just like the adage โ€œmeasure twice, cut once,โ€ thereโ€™s never any harm in double-checking to keep your peace of mind."

It may seem like I love drawing on peopleโ€™s faces, but the markings I make play an integral role in the surgical game plan.

๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ = ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐˜€
The Red line near the green line is called Pitanguyโ€™s line: It provides a topographic marking for the frontal branch of the facial nerve, allowing surgeons like myself to avoid damaging it. This portion of the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the frontal branch, is an important nerve for brow movement. The other red lines over the brow mark the passage of sensory nerves that must be observed during brow lifting.

The blue lines along and around the earlobe represent the incision lines. The other dotted blue lines on my patientโ€™s neck indicate the edge where the internal skin elevation will stop. By limiting the amount of dissection/elevation in the face and neck, I effectively preserve the existing structures, allowing for a more efficient and quicker recovery. The Blue line in the temple represents incision for temporal brow lift access.

๐†๐ซ๐ž๐ž๐ง = ๐๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ซ๐ฏ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ƒ๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ž ๐„๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐ฒ
The green line marks where I enter the preservation Deep Plane, elevating the non-mobile SMAS layer first, then, the dotted brown line in front of it, where the extended deep plane entry is located. At this level, I release all the retaining ligaments of the face, followed by repositioning the entire SMAS to a higher position.

The brown circle areas represent three things. The brown shapes under her eyes and near her temples are the areas targeted for fat grafting. This procedure utilizes the patientโ€™s own fatty tissue (autologous fat) in conjunction with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) to fill the hollow area. Fat grafting is an excellent way to avoid the need for fillers and implants while creating natural-looking results in less time and with longer-lasting effects. The circle on the cheeks is for buccal fat reduction, which is done internally under the SMAS flap. The circle brown under the jawlines/neck indicates the size of the submandibular glands that need to be reduced.

Aging isnโ€™t a battle you โ€œwinโ€ with one magic productโ€”itโ€™s a long game of smart strategy and consistent care. I donโ€™t preach perfection, but I do believe in preserving whatโ€™s yours with grace, science, and a little grit. My approach isnโ€™t a secret: I trust in good skincare as the frontline. Cleanse smart, hydrate deep, and protect like itโ€™s your jobโ€”because it is.

Beyond the basics, I leverage tools that truly move the needle: Hydrafacial for a deep, refreshing reset; gentle peels to exfoliate without assaulting your skin; and IPL when I need to tackle sun spots or uneven tone at the cellular level. Each step is intentionalโ€”not overdone, not underplayed. Skincare isnโ€™t about vanity; itโ€™s about honoring the architecture of your face, maintaining integrity, elasticity, and vitality.

This isnโ€™t about chasing youth. Itโ€™s about showing up fully in every decadeโ€”with confidence, radiance, and skin that reflects the care youโ€™ve invested.

Iโ€™m always straightforward with my patients about what healing really looks like. My goal is to make recovery as smooth and predictable as possible, but every person heals at their own pace. Some are out and about in ten days with almost no visible signs of surgery. Others may need more time, and in rare situations, temporary issues or complications can occur. This is where experience, judgment, and proper follow-up care play a major role. With the right guidance, these concerns usually resolve completely, and the final result is natural, balanced, and long-lasting.
In this video, youโ€™ll meet Lee, a beautiful 65-year-young patient who experienced temporary weakness of the upper branch of her facial nerve after surgery. With the correct treatment plan and patience, her nerve function returned, and she continues to heal beautifully.

"It is a journey."

You may have noticed that I commonly use the word journey to describe the experience my patients go through, and I do have a purpose behind that. In this video, Ladonna also echoes, โ€œIt is a journey,โ€ when talking about her experience. I like the word journey because I feel it conveys that while the process is positive, getting from point A to point B may come with some obstacles. Obstacles that may be challenging in the moment, but are worth it, and that you often reflect on positively in the end.

The entire process of getting a facelift, from the initial research phase to post-op recovery, has never been safer or more advanced. From new suture techniques to the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for post-op recovery, we're doing everything we can to make each stage of the process better than it was before.

This is still plastic surgery, and although we're making strides to make the journey smoother, it is still a journey. The time it takes to get from post-op to fully healed is about 12 months. That is a lot of time, and there can be bumps in the road, especially in the first few weeks or months.

So when I say, โ€œIt is a journey,โ€ I mean exactly that. A facelift isnโ€™t an overnight transformation; itโ€™s a process that you will not have to experience alone. With the right team, even the challenging moments become meaningful parts of the overall story.

My 52-year-old patient is now fourteen months post-op from the following set of procedures under twilight sedation without the need for general anesthesia.

The Jan that we see now is the same Jan that initially came to see me months ago, but there's a palpable excitement and confidence that gets more contagious with every story and smile.

Some people leave an impact on whoever they come across, and Jan is certainly one such person. There hasn't been a single staff member in my practice who has not had a heartwarming story to tell me about her. I even have one staff member who jokingly asked her to adopt her ๐Ÿ˜‚.

I'm going to be sharing more from Jan's two-month post-op interview very soon, but after seeing how great she looks in just two months, I couldn't wait until next week to share her results with you.

Jan, if you happen to be reading this. Thank you for trusting your face in my hands, and if you ever need some free ears to talk to, you know where to come. You have brought so many smiles to our team, and we can't wait to see you again soon!

The process of finding the right surgeon for you is stressful enough. Between going online, reading through websites, watching videos, and attending consultations, youโ€™re being given a lot of information. Unless youโ€™re diligently taking notes throughout the whole process, thereโ€™s a good chance you may miss an important point here or there.

Thatโ€™s why we created this beautiful digital magazine that gives you everything you need to know about getting a Preservation Deep Plane Facelift. From patient testimonials and 3D animations of the procedure to Before & Afters and links to my publications, this magazine has it all in one easy-to-read package that you can keep forever.

To get a digital copy of the guide sent to your email, you can fill out the dedicated form on my website. I also have a link in the Linktree in my bio that takes you directly to it.

Iโ€™m so excited to officially share this with you! If you like this one, weโ€™re planning to continue expanding our digital library in the near future.

If thereโ€™s another topic youโ€™d like me to cover in the next guide, let me know!

First and foremost, the deep plane facelift provides ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ -๐ฅ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฌ. Unlike traditional facelift techniques, the deep plane facelift addresses not only the superficial layers of the skin but also the deeper tissues and muscles of the face.

With a deep plane facelift, the actual lifting occurs on the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer. I, along with any surgeon performing this technique, do not pull on the upper layer of skin. After lifting the deeper layers, we lay down the top layer and only remove the excess skin at the incision line. Once that excess is removed, we suture the incision without pulling the outer layer. This approach not only produces beautiful results but has also significantly reduced the risk of hematoma.

This approach not only ensures that the results of the facelift are more ๐ง๐š๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐š๐ฅ-๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  and have a longer lifespan compared to other procedures. The repositioning of the malar fat pad helps restore volume and lift to the cheeks, resulting in a more youthful and defined facial contour.

The recovery period for a preservation deep plane facelift is typically shorter compared to extended deep plane facelift techniques. Patients may experience mild bruising and swelling for a couple of weeks following the procedure, but these are easily managed alongside my team with proper post-operative care.

My beautiful patient is 5 months Post-Op from the following:

She came to see me because, in her words, "I started getting jowls and my skin was very loose, and overall, I just felt like I was aging really fast."

Now, more than a year out from her procedure we asked her how she's feeling, and it's heartwarming to hear how much her outlook has changed.

She went on to say, "I look in the mirror and I see the woman that I am versus before, I just felt like I was watching myself age. And now I feel my age, but I just feel so much more confident." As a surgeon, I couldn't ask for anything more.

I just posted a longer version of her interview on my YouTube channel, and if you have a moment, I would love for you to go check it out and subscribe if you have not already.

I'll leave you with one more quote from my patient that I absolutely loved. When talking about a lesson she wished she had learned sooner, she said,

"It's okay to want to be the best version of yourself," and I think thatโ€™s something many of us can relate to. Itโ€™s not about changing who you are; it means embracing the confidence that comes from feeling authentically you.
