The Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift differs from less advanced techniques in important aspects. The deep plane technique allows to reposition the deep connective tissue planes of the midface, jawline and neck with multiple intents: The three – dimensional contour of the face is recreated: A flat cheek becomes rounder, the nasolabial fold is reduced, the jawline defined and the neck tightened. All tension is applied to the deeper tissues. Excess skin is trimmed, but no excessive tension is applied to the skin. Thus, a stretched or operated look is avoided.
This procedure was medically necessary with reconstructive intent in the setting of facial paralysis.
