This patient in her early 50s consulted with Dr. Erin Smith regarding concerns related to facial aging. Upon physical assessment, Dr. Smith noted tissue descent in the mid and lower portions of the face, resulting in evident jowling, an uneven jawline, and neck laxity. To address these concerns, Dr. Smith performed a deep plane lower facelift, which included neck tightening with a platysmaplasty. Upon review of the patient’s three-month postoperative photos, her smooth jawline significantly enhances her cervical angle, and the previous neck skin laxity has been resolved. Her lower face now has a youthful appearance, and the lifting of the tissues has eliminated the appearance of jowling. The patient is very pleased with her rejuvenated outcome.
