Meet this vibrant and spirited woman who approaches life with a wonderful outlook. Over the course of the last 7 years, she has undergone a sequence of procedures that have transformed her appearance. Her first facelift, performed six years ago, yielded results as anticipated, conside ring her skin condition and age, which are vital factors in the process.

Recently, earlier this year, she underwent a revision deep plane neck lift, which brought about some noticeable changes. Allow me to share some insights based on my experience: I believe that most people benefit from two facelifts. The first, ideally done in your late 40s or early 50s, sets the foundation, and the second, typically performed in your 60s, helps maintain the rejuvenated look. It's important to recognize that surgery is a form of maintenance, much like botox and facials. The difference lies in their "half life," or how long the effects last. Facials last weeks, botox lasts months, while the benefits of surgery endure for years. A facelift performed in your late 40s or early 50s can provide around 10 years of improvement, while one in your early 60s may last about half that time. As you age, achieving similar outcomes becomes more challenging.

However, the positive results don't completely vanish over time. As evident in her preoperative photos from 2023, they show an improvement compared to those taken in 2017.

The key surgical distinction between the 2017 and 2023 results is the incorporation of the deep plane neck lift. This innovative technique has provided her, at the age of 69, with a neck appearance that she never achieved even in the last two decades, if not more. Thanks to the anatomical and physiological benefits of this approach, we were able to create a neckline that genetics alone couldn't achieve through standard deep plane facelift techniques. The results are truly remarkable and have brought a rejuvenated and youthful contour to her neck.
