This 50-year-old woman underwent 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 essential in select patients to achieve the most attractive neck contours and a well-defined jawline. Thinner patients tend to benefit most from this additional work. Without submandibular gland reduction, patients often retain fullness beneath the mid-mandible that blunts the jawline. She is seen here at four months. This procedure was performed by Dr. Adam Bryce Weinfeld, facial aesthetic plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas.

This 58-year-old woman underwent a deep plane facelift, deep plane neck lift with submandibular gland reduction and reduction of the anterior belly of the digastric, platysmaplasty, endoscopic brow lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, upper lip lift, and fat grafting to complement her other procedures. She is seen here at four months. The combination of these procedures not only makes her appear between 10 and 15 years younger, but creates the appearance of significant weight loss — even though her weight has not changed between the two photographs. This procedure was performed by Dr. Adam Bryce Weinfeld, facial aesthetic plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas.

Description:

This 67 year old woman is seen just two and a half months after a secondary facelift. She had her original facelift performed by another surgeon approximately 10 years prior. A deep plane facelift technique and deep plane neck lift technique were used. When performing a secondary facelift, there are times when a deep plane approach is not possible — if the prior facelift significantly altered the anatomy in a way that would make it dangerous. However, in this patient a deep plane facelift was safely performed, and facilitated significant improvement in facial shaping. Her neck lift included submandibular gland reduction, reduction of the anterior belly of the digastric, and platysmaplasty, all of which contributed to further improvement in her contours. This procedure was performed by Dr. Adam Bryce Weinfeld, facial aesthetic plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas.

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.

Five Months After a Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, and Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty

At just 40 years old, this patient underwent a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that included a deep plane facelift, neck lift, and upper and lower eyelid (blepharoplasty) procedures. Only five months post-surgery, her results appear natural, balanced, and refined—with smoother skin, lifted cheeks, and a more defined jawline.

The neck lines and nasolabial folds are significantly softened, while the skin shows fewer shadows and contour irregularities. Her scars are barely visible, reflecting the precision of modern facelift techniques.

Today, facelifts in younger women are becoming increasingly popular. Advanced deep plane facelift techniques are carefully adapted to the unique anatomy of younger patients—enhancing facial definition and restoring youthful contours without the appearance of tightness or distortion.  In younger women, the emphasis is as much on shaping as it is on lifting.  Dr. Weinfeld developed the TriMax facelift with shape in mind.  The technique uses four key support sutures to enhance facial shape while also resulting in a powerful, natural lift.

47-Year-Old, 11 Weeks After a TriMax Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, and Osteoplastic Genioplasty

At just 11 weeks post-procedure, this 47-year-old patient demonstrates the transformative results of a TriMax deep plane facelift, neck lift, and osteoplastic genioplasty. The outcome highlights a critical principle of modern facial rejuvenation: beauty is not just skin deep.

True facial harmony depends not only on tightening skin but also on enhancing the underlying bony structure. A successful facelift doesn’t simply lift—it reshapes and restores balance. In some cases, achieving ideal facial proportions involves structural modification of the bone through osteotomy or facial implants, providing long-term support and natural contour to the overlying soft tissues.

With extensive experience in facial trauma reconstruction and facial feminization surgery, Dr. Weinfeld is uniquely qualified to integrate advanced bony contouring techniques with deep plane facelift surgery. His comprehensive approach ensures results that are both natural and enduring—enhancing not only the skin, but the foundation beneath it.

48-Year-Old, One Year After Comprehensive Facial Rejuvenation Surgery

This 48-year-old patient was photographed one year after a complete facial rejuvenation, sometimes referred to as age-reversing surgery of the face and neck. Her transformation was achieved through a combination of advanced procedures, including a TriMax deep plane facelift, deep plane neck lift, upper and lower blepharoplasty, and an endoscopic brow lift.

Together, these procedures addressed every layer of facial aging—from the underlying muscle and connective tissue to the delicate skin around the eyes and forehead. The result is a refreshed, natural-looking appearance that restores youthful contours, smooths the neckline, and brightens the eyes—all without an over-tightened or operated look.

58-Year-Old, One Year After Facelift, Neck Lift, Fat Grafting, Blepharoplasty, Brow Lift, and Lip Lift

This 58-year-old woman was photographed approximately one year after a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that included a facelift, neck lift, anatomic fat grafting, upper and lower blepharoplasty, endoscopic brow lift, and lip lift.

By combining structural lifting with volume restoration and delicate eyelid and brow refinement, Dr. Weinfeld achieved a harmonious, natural-looking rejuvenation. The results showcase smoother skin, refined jawline definition, and refreshed eye and lip contours—demonstrating how a customized, multi-layered approach can beautifully reverse signs of facial aging.

83-Year-Old Male, Two Weeks After a Secondary Facelift and Neck Lift

This 83-year-old male patient was photographed just two weeks after undergoing a secondary facelift and neck lift. More than a decade after his first facelift, he sought Dr. Weinfeld’s expertise to restore youthful definition while correcting the effects of time and prior surgical aging.

The most recent procedure lifted and reshaped the cheeks, reduced jowling, and eliminated excess neck skin, achieving a smoother, more balanced facial contour. In addition to improving overall facial shape, this surgery also provided an opportunity to refine incision placement, resulting in a more anatomic and natural positioning that will yield less noticeable scars as healing progresses.

65-Year-Old, One Year After High SMAS Facelift, Deep Plane Neck Lift, Fat Grafting, and Blepharoplasty

This 65-year-old patient was photographed approximately one year after undergoing a high SMAS facelift, deep plane neck lift, fat grafting, and upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The results demonstrate how combining advanced facial rejuvenation techniques can restore youthful balance, volume, and definition with natural-looking results.

The high SMAS facelift shares similarities with the deep plane facelift—both involve repositioning deeper facial tissues to achieve long-lasting improvement in facial contour. However, the high SMAS technique differs in the extent of skin elevation and repositioning, making it particularly effective for certain facial structures and aging patterns.

In an aesthetic landscape where many surgeons perform only one type of facelift, Dr. Weinfeld offers both high SMAS and deep plane approaches, tailoring each to the patient’s unique anatomy. His comprehensive understanding of facial layers ensures results that look refined, natural, and harmoniously proportioned.
