Description
This 54-year-old woman came to our practice interested in facial rejuvenation, and deep plane face and neck lifting. She “had done all the things” and reported regular Botox, skin laser, fillers, and dermal threads in the past. She was especially bothered by jowling and neck tissue laxity, and was looking for an overall facial rejuvenation plan. Our facial plastic surgeon Dr. Inessa Fishman treated her with a deep plane facelift, neck lift, temporal brow lift, upper blepharoplasty/ eyelid surgery, facial fat grafting, earlobe reduction, lip lifting, and CO2 laser skin resurfacing for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The patient is shown with great healing at 2 months after surgery.
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 releases 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 months of recovery after deep plane face and neck lifting before planning important and photo-filled events like weddings and graduations.
