A deep plane neck lift at Wright Spellman Plastic Surgery offers an advanced approach to creating a smoother, more defined neck and jawline. By addressing deeper tissues beneath the skin, this procedure can improve neck laxity, sagging, jowls, excess fullness beneath the chin, and loss of youthful jawline definition.
Refine Your Neck Without Excessive Skin Tension
A deep plane neck lift is an advanced surgical technique that rejuvenates the neck and jawline by addressing the deeper tissues that contribute to visible sagging and fullness. Rather than relying primarily on removing and tightening loose skin, the procedure works beneath the surface to reposition and support underlying structures for more natural-looking definition. During surgery, the surgeon carefully accesses the deeper layers of the neck and may address lax muscles, excess fat, and other tissues contributing to an aging or poorly defined neckline. These structures are then repositioned and tightened to create a smoother neck and sharper transition between the chin and neck. The skin can then be redraped over the newly refined contours without excessive tension.
Deep Plane Necklift Can Correct:
- Loose or sagging neck skin
- Jowls along the jawline
- Loss of jawline definition
- Excess fullness beneath the chin
- Neck bands caused by muscle laxity
- A poorly defined chin-to-neck angle
- Deeper tissue laxity in the neck
- Age-related changes to neck contours
Your Deep Plane Necklift Journey: Consultation, Treatment, Recovery
Consultation
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation. Your plastic surgeon will discuss what bothers you about your neck and jawline, examine your skin, underlying tissues, muscle laxity, and proportions, and review your medical history. Together, you can discuss your aesthetic goals and determine whether a deep plane neck lift or another approach is best suited to your anatomy and desired outcome.
Treatment
Deep plane neck lift surgery works beneath the skin to address the underlying structures that contribute to neck aging. Through carefully planned incisions, your surgeon can reposition and tighten deeper tissues, address excess fat and muscle laxity when appropriate, and improve the contour beneath your chin. The skin is then redraped over the refined underlying structure to create smooth, natural-looking contours without relying on excessive skin tension.
Recovery
Swelling, bruising, tightness, and temporary changes in sensation are common during the early stages of recovery. These side effects gradually improve as your tissues heal and settle. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions for incision care, sleeping position, and follow-up visits. Your neck and jawline contours should continue to refine over the following weeks and months.

Deep Plane Necklift Results
You may notice improved neck and jawline definition soon after surgery, with results becoming clearer as swelling subsides. Your contours can continue to refine over several months as the tissues settle and heal. The results are long-lasting, often remaining visible for many years, although the natural aging process will continue to gradually affect your neck over time.
