Sculpted And Statuesque
Aging, lifestyle, weight loss, and even genetics can cause sagging, drooping skin on the neck. Wrinkles or banding can further age the appearance of the neck, making us look aged and possibly older than we really are. With Deep Plane Neck Lift in Houston, TX, Dr. Regina Rodman at Face Forward provides patients with a completely fresh, rejuvenated, and youthful neck appearance.
Hold Your Head High With Confidence
By repositioning and tightening the deeper layers of muscle and tissue in the neck, known as the "deep plane," this technique can effectively address sagging skin and signs of aging in the neck. It targets not just the superficial skin but also the underlying structures. Addressing the underlying structures with a Deep Plane Neck Lift offers more definition and rejuvenation, and creates a more natural-looking and longer-lasting result. Along with tightening deep muscles, salivary glands may be reduced, and “deep fat” is removed, as well as excess skin and superficial fat. This approach gives a comprehensive and totally customizable result.
In most neck lifts, the extra skin and superficial fat are removed. This improves the appearance of the neck but may give a limited result in some patients. A Deep Plane Neck Lift addresses the deeper structures of the neck in addition to the superficial skin and fat. In some patients, deep fat, stretched muscles, and enlarged salivary glands may be the cause of fullness in the neck. A Deep Plane Neck Lift is the only way to reduce these structures. This comprehensive approach to contouring and rejuvenating the neck is much longer lasting, and patients can expect their results to last many years.
Yes! In most patients, a double chin is caused by superficial fat, but also by loose muscles and deep fat. A Deep Plane Neck Lift removes both superficial and deep fat behind the chin, as well as tightening loose muscles creating the “double chin.”
Youthful Contour Restored
The deep plane technique effectively lifts and tightens the deeper layers of muscle and tissue in the neck. It provides comprehensive correction of neck aging, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour. Benefits of a Deep Plane Neck Lift include:
Find Your Sagging Skin Solution
Most candidates are seeking to reduce loose, sagging skin in their neck, smooth wrinkles and creases, and restore definition to the jawline. While there is no specific age limit for a Deep Plane Neck Lift Houston patients should be in overall good health to ensure proper recovery and have a sufficient amount of skin elasticity.
Yes. A Deep Plane Neck Lift can be used for an aging neck, but is also a powerful procedure for patients who have a heavy neck or double chin. For some patients, a heavy neck is genetic. Deep fat, or fat that is deep to the platysma muscle, is often dictated by genetics and does not respond to weight loss. Patients who are a healthy weight but carry weight in their neck may be a candidate for a Deep Plane Neck Lift.
Professional And Compassionate From Start To Finish
At Face Forward, our goal is to partner with our patients to craft ideal treatment plans that will provide the most optimal results. During your private consultation, we will map out your aesthetic goals and discuss your health history to determine whether this procedure is right for you. Prior to surgery, we may need to request lab work or medication adjustments, and we do require that you quit smoking for at least several weeks.
Artistry, Skill, Outstanding Results
Typically conducted under general anesthesia, Dr. Rodman will create a single, precise incision beneath the chin in order to keep scarring to a minimum. Then, the tissue will be meticulously adjusted, fat will be removed and repositioned if necessary, and tension will be applied in strategic areas for a flawlessly natural-looking result.
Patients typically begin to see noticeable improvements in their neck contour and appearance within several weeks to months. Final results may continue to improve and refine as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position, which may take up to a year. To maintain great results with your Deep Plane Neck Lift, regular sun protection, a healthy lifestyle, and optimal skin care are all crucial.
Patients may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area for the first week or two following surgery. While individual recovery times vary, most patients can resume normal activities within two to three weeks. Proper care of the incision sites is crucial for minimizing scarring and promoting optimal healing.

Risks with any surgery could include bleeding, infection, weakness or change in movement of the lower lip, or unexpected scarring. However, these are very rare when the procedure is performed by a skilled and qualified facial plastic surgeon.
