Facelift and neck lift work

• Deep plane facelift. Works beneath the SMAS and releases the retaining ligaments; the platysma is lifted with the SMAS in a vertical and slightly oblique direction. The page lists IV sedation instead of general anesthesia, no submental incision or platysma plication, no drains, and an operating time of 2 1/2 hours. It names "dual-plane deep plane" facelifts and his article "Modified Deep Plane Rhytidectomy With Lateral Approach to the Neck" (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2010) (deep plane facelift).
• His facelift approach. About 100 facelifts a year; selective buccal fat removal and jawline liposuction; laser resurfacing and dermabrasion around the mouth (Dr. Mustoe's approach).
• Neck lift. Deep plane dissection in the neck without under-chin incisions, platysma release and liposuction; local anesthesia with sedation (neck lift).
• Recovery, as printed. Many patients resume work "within a week"; most return to social activities within 10 to 14 days (deep plane facelift). Neck lift: work within 10 days; swelling and bruising mostly gone by 7 to 10 days; "Final results emerge" at 2 to 4 weeks (neck lift).
