Facelift and neck lift work
Deep plane facelift (cnplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/deep-plane-facelift/):
- Preferred over mini, short scar, full or SMAS facelifts.
- SMAS and skin lifted as one unit after release of retaining ligaments; fat pads redistributed.
- The page states the "vertical" face and neck lift "is the same as" his deep plane facelift.
- Neck rejuvenation included, with SMAS and platysma repositioned.
- 90% of patients under tumescent anesthesia (awake surgery); no drains used in facelift recovery "for the last decade."
- Publications listed on the bio: "Awake Rejuvenation with the Deep Plane Face Lift and Extended Deep Neck Contouring," PRS Global Open, December 2025.
Neck lift (cnplasticsurgery.com/procedures/face/neck-lift/):
- Cervicoplasty and platysmaplasty, with liposuction; two to three hours.
- Minimally invasive options: MIMS (Minimally Invasive Mastoid Sling), a suture anchored at the mastoid after liposuction and thermal energy; MyEllevate suture suspension; Precision Tx laser.
- MIMS paper: Aesthetic Surgery Journal Open Forum, April 2026 (bio).
