Description:

This 55-year-old woman is seen four months after a deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift. Her neck lift included submandibular gland reduction and reduction of the anterior belly of the digastric — steps that are particularly crucial in thin patients to create appropriate neck contour. She also underwent Aviva laser to facilitate scar management, making her incisions nearly invisible. This patient represents an important and growing category: facelift for patients who have undergone significant weight loss with the assistance of GLP-1 medication. She lost 50 pounds, and that weight loss created significant laxity — particularly in the lower face. The Light-Touch TriMax deep plane facelift technique that I perform is especially well suited for addressing skin excess in these regions.This procedure was performed by Dr. Adam Bryce Weinfeld, facial aesthetic plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas.
