The Patient's Goals
Vibrant and active at 56, this international patient felt a growing gap between her energy and a reflection she described as weighted down by gravity. Heavy jowls had squared a jawline that was once a clean V, and neck laxity with banding had become the change she noticed most. We planned a deep plane rejuvenation of the face and neck to lift the deeper structures, not just the skin.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
For a 56-year-old with this degree of skin and muscle laxity, we chose a deep plane lift because a surface-only approach would not last.
- Deep plane repositioning: By releasing the retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS, we lifted the mid-face and jowls vertically and restored cheek volume to its youthful height, avoiding the pulled, windblown look of skin-only lifts.
- cervicoplasty for the neck: A platysmaplasty tightened the neck muscles and redraped the skin to rebuild a clean angle and erase the banding.
- evidence-based recovery technologies: She completed recovery with HBOT and LLLT to limit swelling and bruising before her flight home, the plan we follow for international patients travelling home, Canadians included.
