Does this sound familiar?
Your neck looks heavier or looser in photos
Jowls have softened your jawline
Your face looks "tired," even when you feel energetic
You want improvement without looking "done"
If you want a natural-looking reset, a deep plane lift may be the right next step.
Natural results come from lifting the right layer
A deep plane facelift repositions deeper support tissues along with the skin. This helps create a strong lift without relying on skin tension, which is what often creates an over-tightened look.
Cleaner neck and jawline
Softer jowls and folds
Better midface contour
Designed to look refreshed, not pulled
Comfort-focused IV sedation (monitored care)
Many patients prefer IV sedation because it avoids being fully put to sleep while still keeping you comfortable. You're continuously monitored, and your plan is tailored to your health history and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for a facelift?
Good candidates typically have moderate to significant skin laxity in the lower face and neck area. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine if a deep plane facelift is the right approach for you.
Will I still look like myself?
Yes. The deep plane technique is specifically designed to create natural-looking results. By repositioning the deeper tissue layers rather than just pulling skin, we avoid the 'windswept' or 'done' look. Most patients say they look like a more refreshed version of themselves.
How long is downtime?
Most patients feel comfortable being seen socially around 2 weeks after surgery. Bruising and swelling are most noticeable in the first week and improve significantly by week 2. Full results continue to refine over 3-6 months.
Where are the incisions and scars?
Incisions are carefully placed along natural contours around the ear and into the hairline. They're designed to be concealed in creases and hair, and we plan placement carefully to avoid altering your hairline.
What type of anesthesia do you use?
We use IV sedation for most facelift procedures. This approach avoids being fully put to sleep while keeping you comfortable throughout. You're continuously monitored, and your plan is tailored to your health history.
Do you combine this with a neck lift?
Yes, a neck lift is often performed together with a facelift for comprehensive rejuvenation of the lower face and neck. This combination addresses jowls, jawline definition, and neck contour in one procedure.
How long do results last?
While you'll continue to age naturally, facelift results are long-lasting. Most patients enjoy their results for 10+ years. The deep plane technique tends to provide more durable results than skin-only approaches.
What does the consultation include?
Your consultation includes a thorough evaluation of your facial anatomy, discussion of your goals and concerns, review of before/after photos of similar patients, explanation of the procedure, and a personalized treatment plan with clear pricing.
