60-Year-Old, Four Months After Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift

This 60-year-old woman was photographed four months after undergoing a deep plane facelift and neck lift. Her primary goal was to achieve a natural, refreshed appearance, focusing on improving the lower face, jowls, and loose neck skin. She preferred not to alter the upper third of her face and therefore chose not to undergo a brow lift or blepharoplasty.

While periorbital procedures (such as eyelid or brow surgery) can enhance overall facial balance, they are not always necessary for beautiful results. This case demonstrates how a deep plane facelift and neck lift alone can restore youthful definition, refine the jawline, and smooth the neck—creating a naturally rejuvenated look that aligns perfectly with the patient’s goals.

51-Year-Old, Five Months After Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, Brow Lift, Blepharoplasty & Fat Grafting

This 51-year-old woman was photographed five months after undergoing a comprehensive facial rejuvenation that included a deep plane facelift, deep plane neck lift, endoscopic brow lift, upper eyelid blepharoplasty, and selective anatomic fat grafting.

Her before-and-after photos illustrate not only the lifting and tightening effects of surgery but also the powerful facial reshaping achieved through Dr. Weinfeld’s TriMax approach—a technique designed to optimize contour, balance, and projection across multiple facial planes.

Postoperatively, she displays refined neck contours, a more defined jawline, and elevated, youthful cheek positioning, with the complete elimination of jowls. The result is a natural, refreshed appearance that restores harmony to the face without appearing overcorrected.

49-Year-Old, One Year After High SMAS Facelift and Deep Plane Neck Lift

This 49-year-old woman was photographed over one year after undergoing a high SMAS facelift and deep plane neck lift. The high SMAS facelift utilizes the same sub-SMAS dissection as a deep plane lift but offers more powerful skin management in select patients—allowing for refined repositioning and improved tension distribution for natural, long-lasting results.

Her deep neck lift included platysmaplasty, submandibular gland reduction, and reduction of the anterior belly of the digastric muscle, providing a smoother, more contoured neckline.

Following her initial surgery, the patient achieved intentional weight loss, which resulted in mild residual neck skin looseness. To refine her results, she later underwent a minor enhancement procedure, achieving the elegant, defined contours demonstrated here.

56-Year-Old, Nine Months After Deep Plane Facelift, Neck Lift, and Fat Grafting

This 56-year-old woman was photographed nine months after undergoing a deep plane facelift and deep plane neck lift, complemented with anatomic micro and nano fat grafting for volume restoration and contour refinement.

At the patient’s request, the upper third of the face is not shown; however, her complete rejuvenation also included upper and lower blepharoplasty and an endoscopic brow lift.

The combination of deep structural lifting and precision fat grafting allowed for comprehensive facial rejuvenation—enhancing contour, restoring youthful fullness, and achieving a natural, balanced appearance that maintains harmony across all facial planes.

Patient Story:

This patient is a woman in her late fifties who is the wife of a senior hospital administrator in Austin, Texas.  She was interested in comprehensive cosmetic facial rejuvenation.  Following her consultation with Plastic Surgeon Dr. Weinfeld, she felt the best approach for her was two-stage process.  First she underwent an upper and lower blepharoplasty.  The lower blepharoplasty was performed with a subciliary approach permitting septal reset and blending of lid cheek junction.  This advanced approach provides more than just lower lid smoothing.  It permits elevation of the upper cheek, softening of the nasojugal crease, and a decreased vertical dimension of the lower eyelid – all features associated with youth and attractiveness.  Following three months she underwent and facelift and necklift.  In the majority of patients, but especially in patients with full faces and necks, Dr. Weinfeld choices to use direct sculpting of the lower face and neck fat instead of using liposuction which can be less  precise.  The powerful effect of direct sculpting can be seen in her post-operative photos.
