Benefits of Deep Plane Neck Lift
Patients who choose the Deep Plane Neck Lift often experience a wide array of benefits. This procedure offers an enhanced degree of tightness, reducing laxity or looseness while providing a more youthful appearance. Additionally, the deep plane technique works in harmony with the natural aging process, yielding a more natural-looking result. This means that as you continue to age, your results will gracefully evolve. Patients also typically experience less swelling and faster recovery times compared to traditional neck lift procedures.
Ideal Candidates for Deep Plane Neck Lift Procedure
Ideal candidates for a Deep Plane Neck Lift are typically those who have noticeable signs of aging in their neck, platysma bands, or sagging skin like the dreaded “turkey neck”. Neck lift alone does not treat the lower face, such as jowls or loose, sagging skin on the jawline; in this case patients are better suited for a facelift, which would include a neck lift and address the mid face. Additionally, candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the final results, and be willing to follow the recommended post-operative care plan. It is always advisable to consult with a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Patrick Cleveland, to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for this transformative procedure.
Deep Plane Neck Lift vs Traditional Neck Lift
Unlike traditional neck lifts that primarily address the skin, the Deep Plane Neck Lift goes deeper to treat the platysma muscle, which contributes significantly to the aged appearance of the neck. This innovative approach allows for the repositioning of these deeper structures, resulting in a more significant and longer-lasting improvement.
In traditional neck lifts, the excess skin is trimmed but the muscle is not elevated and repositioned, it is suspended with sutures instead. Over time, the sutures used in traditional neck lifts loosen and the muscle sags back down despite the tightened skin which can cause the skin to stretch back out and create unnatural contours of the neck.
In Deep Plane neck lift the muscle is repositioned and freed up from its attachments so it heals into place after being tightened, which drastically increases the longevity and natural appearance of the lift.
In addition, the deep plane technique typically results in less noticeable scars, less swelling, and a quicker recovery period.
Long-Term Results of Deep Plane Neck Lift Procedure
The Deep Plane Neck Lift provides impressive long-term results. Due to the comprehensive nature of the deep plane technique, patients enjoy a naturally youthful neck for years following the procedure. While it can’t halt the aging process, the Deep Plane Neck Lift can set back the clock significantly, letting you age more gracefully. Regular skincare and healthy lifestyle habits can further enhance and prolong the results.
Deep Plane Neck Lift: The Science Explained
The Deep Plane Neck Lift is grounded in solid scientific principles. Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift target the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS) and the platysma muscle – the areas that contribute most to the appearance of an aged neck. By repositioning these structures using the deep plane technique, it’s possible to achieve more natural results. This is because the ligaments that suspend the SMAS layer and the Platysma Muscle layer stretch out with age. The sagging of the deeper structures of the face is what creates the jowls, and platysmal bands. Deep Plane technique lifts these layers back to where they were in your youth to create a natural appearance and allow these soft tissue layers to heal into place which creates a much stronger and longer lasting bond then sutures alone, while preserving the natural neck contours.
Combining Deep Plane Neck Lift with Other Procedures
The Deep Plane Neck Lift can be combined with other facial plastic surgery procedures for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Many patients choose to add procedures like a submentoplasty or neck liposuction to address other areas of concern simultaneously. If you have concerns about your face and jawline often a facelift is a great option. By addressing the face and neck in a holistic manner, you can achieve harmonious, balanced results.
Patients are often confused if a neck lift is something they pay for in addition to a facelift, it should NOT be. By definition, a neck lift only addresses the neck and a facelift addresses the face (from the cheek down) and the neck. A mid-facelift is the name of the procedure that only addresses the face from the jawline to the cheekbone but does not address the neck and is a great option in patients in their 40’s and 50’s that only have jowling without neck laxity.
The price of a deep plane facelift should include addressing the neck with a neck lift, however some offices double charge patients for this unfairly. We do not believe that is right so at Patrick Cleveland Facial Plastic Surgery you will never be charged for a neck lift and a facelift together, but rest assured, if you are getting a deep plane facelift with us, rejuvenating your neck is included.
Addressing Concerns About Deep Plane Neck Lift
Like any surgical procedure, it’s natural to have concerns about a Deep Plane Neck Lift. Rest assured, when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon like Dr. Patrick Cleveland, the procedure is very safe. Most patients experience only minimal discomfort, bruising and swelling, which typically subsides within a few weeks. Furthermore, Dr. Cleveland’s team will provide thorough aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to ensure a smooth recovery.
The Advantages of Deep Plane Neck Lift in Women
The Deep Plane Neck Lift provides unique advantages for women. It effectively addresses the loose skin and muscle laxity that contribute to the appearance of an aged neck, resulting in a more youthful, rejuvenated look. Women often find that the deep plane technique achieves a more natural, elegant result, matching their aesthetic goals with improved healing due to the decreased tension on the incision line which hides along the hairline.
Deep Plane Neck Lift Procedure for Men
Men can also greatly benefit from the Deep Plane Neck Lift. The procedure can help to reduce the appearance of a “turkey neck”, improve the jawline, and achieve a tighter, more youthful neck. Men who have undergone this procedure often report increased self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
Anesthesia Options for Deep Plane Neck Lift
Ensuring patient comfort is a priority during a deep plane facelift. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center. You will be able to go home or to your hotel after recovering from surgery. Some physicians will do a less comprehensive lift with local anesthesia but to adequately reach the ligaments tethering the SMAS in a deep plane lift, sedation is required. If you strongly prefer to avoid anesthesia, Dr. Cleveland can perform the most comprehensive lift possible under local anesthesia with oral sedation. Dr. Cleveland and his team prioritize patient safety and will discuss the best anesthesia options for you during your pre-operative consultation, as well as review your medical history to ensure you are healthy enough for surgery. Dr. Cleveland wants to make sure this experience is as safe as possible, so every patient undergoes a comprehensive independent medical clearance prior to surgery to ensure they are healthy enough for surgery.
