Facelift and neck lift work
- Deep plane extended facelift: repositions tissues including cheek muscle and fat higher on the face rather than pulling skin horizontally; incisions beneath the jaw and around the ears (deep plane facelift).
- Anesthesia: local anesthesia plus deep intravenous sedation in an AAAHC-accredited surgical suite, with no breathing tube; patients with BMI over 30, smokers or heart, lung or kidney disease may not be candidates (deep plane facelift).
