The Patient's Goals
The result this patient needed required more than surface tightening. In this deep plane facelift before after 70 case, facial ageing involved the jawline, neck, and eye area together, creating heaviness through the lower face and a tired upper-face appearance. As a 70-year-old International Patient from the USA, she presented with cervicomental blunting, upper-lid hooding, infraorbital hollowing, and mandibular laxity. A SMAS-platysma deep plane facelift allowed us to restore support at depth while preserving a restrained, natural-first expression.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
Three pillars shaped our surgical strategy: deep-plane support, neck definition, and careful eyelid refinement. This is a concern Canadian patients often describe when facial ageing begins to affect the jawline, eyes, and neck together.
- Deep-neck contouring procedure and platysmal support: We refined the cervicomental angle and lower-face transition so the chin, jawline, and neck appeared more continuous.
- Upper and lower blepharoplasty balance: We treated upper-lid heaviness and lower-lid fullness with a conservative plan designed to refresh the eyes without changing her natural gaze.
- Deep tissue restoration: The SMAS-platysma layer and retaining ligaments were addressed to reposition descended support structures, rather than relying on skin tension alone.
- Evidence-based recovery technologies: The patient completed our early post-operative pathway with HBOT and LLLT to support tissue oxygenation, swelling management, and healing during the first 10 days.
