From the channel

Dr. Lam talks about what is involved with a deep neck lift, which is oftentimes a component of his deep-plane facelift. It is also a standalone procedure for very full necks. This podcast discusses the indications, benefits, limitations, and nature of the procedure along with the recovery.

Deep-plane facelift

A deep-plane facelift releases the ligaments that hold the cheek down and lifts the skin, cheek fat and underlying muscle layer together as one flap, to treat sagging cheeks, jowls and a soft jawline. Hamra described the operation in 1990, and no study since has shown that it lasts longer than other SMAS facelifts.
