As we age, one of the most noticeable changes happens in the lower face and neck. Skin begins to lose elasticity, muscles relax, and deep tissues descend, creating sagging along the jawline, jowls, and loose skin on the neck. While nonsurgical treatments can delay these signs of aging, there comes a point when the most effective solution is surgery. At Flower Mound Plastic Surgery and Clearfork Plastic Surgery, we specialize in one of the most advanced facelift techniques available today: the Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift.
What Makes the Deep Plane Lift Different?
Traditional facelift techniques primarily tighten the skin and superficial layers of the face. While this can create improvement, it sometimes results in an overly tight or “windblown” look that doesn’t appear natural. The deep plane technique goes a step further by addressing the underlying structures of the face and neck.
During a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift, the surgeon carefully releases and repositions the deeper tissues, known as the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and platysma muscles. By working beneath these layers, the procedure lifts and restores the natural facial foundation, rather than simply stretching the skin. This allows for:
- A more youthful, refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
- Restoration of midface volume, especially around the cheeks.
- A smoother, more defined jawline.
- Tightening and contouring of the neck.
The result is a transformation that is balanced, harmonious, and natural without the stigma of looking like you’ve “had work done.”
Benefits of a Deep Plane Face & Neck Lift
Patients choose this advanced technique for several key reasons:
- Natural-Looking Results – By lifting the deeper facial layers, the outcome avoids the pulled or artificial look of older facelift styles.
- Comprehensive Rejuvenation – The procedure improves not just the lower face but also the midface, jowls, and neck.
- Long-Lasting Outcomes – Because deeper structures are repositioned, results often last longer compared to a traditional facelift.
- Boost in Confidence – Restoring youthful contours helps patients look as vibrant and energetic as they feel.
Who Is a Candidate?
The Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift is best suited for men and women who:
- Are noticing sagging in the cheeks, jawline, or neck.
- Have jowls or a loss of definition along the lower face.
- Want a dramatic but natural improvement.
- Are in good overall health and ready for a surgical procedure with some recovery time.
At Flower Mound Plastic Surgery and Clearfork Plastic Surgery, we carefully evaluate each patient during a consultation to determine if the deep plane technique is the right choice.
Recovery and Results
While recovery will vary, most patients can expect initial swelling and bruising to improve within two to three weeks. By the end of the first month, patients feel comfortable returning to work and social activities. The final results continue to be refined over several months, revealing a beautifully lifted midface, a sculpted jawline, and a smoother, firmer neck.
What patients love most is how natural they look after a Deep Plane Lift. Friends and family often comment that they appear refreshed, well-rested, or youthful, without immediately recognizing that surgery was performed.
