Aging changes often appear in more than one area of the face. My patient came to us wanting to address lower facial laxity, neck banding, and heaviness around the eyes – without sacrificing her natural expression. We performed a deep plane face and neck lift to reposition the underlying muscle layer (SMAS) rather than just tightening the skin. This technique restores a youthful contour along the jawline and neck while maintaining a soft, natural look.
