Neck surgery? Deep Plane Neck Lift
As we age, the face and neck change due to aging and decreased collagen production. This is reflected in the loss of volume and sagging skin. One solution is neck surgery called the Deep Plane Neck Lift, which redefines the contours of the neck, offering natural, long-lasting, and transformative results.
If you’ve been uncomfortable with your lower face and neck, or feel a lack of definition in your jawline, this procedure may be just what you need. Today Dr. Boone explains what this treatment is all about and everything you need to know.
What is the Deep Plane Neck Lift?
The Deep Plane Neck Lift is a surgical procedure designed to significantly improve the appearance of the face, improving the signs of facial aging. Unlike other more superficial treatments, this procedure works in depth to address problems such as:
- Fat accumulation under the chin.
- Sagging or excessive skin in the neck.
- Double chin (the well-known “turkey neck”).
- Lack of definition in the jaw area.
This is a customized surgery and can be combined with other facial procedures to achieve a harmonious and natural result.

What does a Deep Plane Necklift include?
You may be wondering what this procedure includes and why it is recommended as neck surgery, and that is because the Deep Plane Neck Lift addresses multiple layers of the neck to provide visible and long-lasting results:
1. Neck Liposuction:
Removes excess submental and neck fat, defining the contours of the face.
2. Tightening of the platysma muscle:
Corrects platysma muscle bands that often give an aged appearance.
3. Submandibular salivary gland reduction
For some patients, these glands can be prominent and affect neck definition.
4. Sagging skin removal
Excess skin is removed to create a firm, rejuvenated appearance.
Who is the ideal candidate for a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
As previously mentioned, this surgery is personalized and unique, since everyone may require different options depending on their physical appearance. But it should be noted that in general, the Deep Plane Neck Lift is ideal for people who want to eliminate sagging and excess fat in the neck due to aging and loss of volume in the area.
If you desire a more defined neck and jawline, have visible neck bands that you wish to correct, and are looking for long-lasting results, this procedure is for you.
