Description
This 62-year-old woman was bothered by the appearance of her neck. Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with a deep plane neck lift to address loose tissue here, and a deep plane facelift to treat her jowling and fallen facial tissues in the lower cheek. The patient is shown with great healing at just 3 weeks after surgery. She has moderate swelling and redness about her incisions, which will continue to resolve over the next few months.
Deep plane face and neck lifting are the gold standard in long-lasting and comprehensive surgical facial rejuvenation. With the advanced techniques of deep plane neck lifting and face lifting, Dr. Fishman is able to release deep ligaments of the face and neck, reposition droopy and lax tissue into a more youthful position, and provide patients with durable and natural results. Recovery from face and neck lifting surgery usually involves 10-12 days of soreness and swelling, and 3 weeks before most patients are “restaurant-ready.” Most patients return to work and social obligations within 1-2 weeks after surgery. Dr. Fishman recommends 2-3 months of recovery after deep plane face and neck lifting before planning important and photo-filled events like weddings and graduations.
