The Patient's Goals
Forty-five felt too early for this UK patient to be having the conversation at all — which was precisely her frustration. Premature structural ageing had cost her jawline its definition and given her face a sad, tired cast that no amount of rest altered, while friends her age showed nothing similar.
Her deep plane facelift and neck lift before and after is a case about matching the operation to the biology, not the birthday.
Surgeon's Expert Approach
Her assessment found the cause below the surface: early descent of the facial ligaments and deep fat pads, with skin quality still excellent. That combination dictated the technique:
- Why not a traditional lift: skin-tension surgery on her good skin would have delivered a short-lived, unnatural correction — treating the one layer that wasn’t the problem.
- Deep plane release: the ligaments freed and the structural layer repositioned, putting the support back where it had slipped from.
- Neck continuation: the same structural logic carried under the jaw, restoring the border her lower face had lost.
What the after photos show — taken at six months, fully settled — is a 45-year-old who looks like a rested version of herself, with the definition her early descent had taken.
She planned the entire process from the UK, photographs first, through our patient journey pathway.

I am beyond grateful I went with AKM Clinic for my deep plane face and neck lift, upper eyelid, and co2 laser. Dr. Akif has magic hands and my results are truly incredible!
