Facelift and neck lift case study
Revision Deep Plane Facelift: Six-Month Case Study
A secondary facelift case involving altered surgical planes, recurrent jowling, and loss of jawline and neck definition after prior surgery elsewhere.
Performed by Nate Jowett, MD, PhD, FRCSC at Revitalis in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Surgical planning
Why the plan was individualized
Revision planning accounted for prior facelift scars, altered tissue planes, earlier rhinoplasty and blepharoplasty, recurrent laxity, and the relationship between facial volume, jawline support, and neck contour.
Documented follow-up
Six-month photographic record
The photographs document this patient at six months after combined revision deep plane facelift, structural neck work, fat grafting, and resurfacing. They show one patient’s course and do not predict another patient’s result.
Secondary Facelift
Complex Deep Plane Revision & Structural Reconstruction
This case demonstrates an advanced revision deep plane facelift for a patient who had a prior facelift, rhinoplasty, and upper blepharoplasty elsewhere. She presented with recurrent facial laxity, heavy jowls, and loss of jawline and neck definition. Dr. Jowett performed a complex deep plane secondary facelift with submental platysmaplasty, structural neck contouring including submandibular gland debulking, micro-fat grafting, and full-face fractional laser resurfacing.
