Face & Neck Lift
A Comprehensive Approach to Facial Rejuvenation
What is Facelift and Neck lift?
The Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift is an advanced surgical procedure designed to address signs of aging, particularly sagging and loss of volume, in the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelift techniques, which focus on tightening the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper layers of facial tissue, including the underlying muscles, fat, and connective tissues. The deep plane approach allows for a natural, long-lasting result that restores a youthful, lifted appearance.
Dr. Dolev uses a deep plane technique for the following procedures:
Facelift
A surgical procedure that lifts and tightens sagging facial tissues, removes excess skin, and restores volume to the cheeks and jawline, addressing deep wrinkles and facial folds.

Neck lift
A surgical technique that removes excess skin and fat, tightens underlying muscles, and smooths wrinkles in the neck and under the chin, eliminating a "turkey neck" appearance.

How it works
Dr. Yalon Dolev utilizes the Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift technique, a highly effective method of repositioning the underlying facial muscles. The Deep Plane Facelift and Neck Lift are performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure typically takes 4 to 6 hours and includes meticulous steps:
Accessing the Deeper Layers
In a Deep Plane Facelift, Dr. Dolev typically makes incisions along the hairline and around the ears, allowing access to the skin and the underlying structures. However, instead of just lifting the skin, the surgeon lifts and repositions the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), a deep connective tissue that supports the facial muscles and skin.
Repositioning Muscles and Tissues
The Deep Plane technique involves carefully lifting the deep facial muscles and fatty tissues that have descended over time. By releasing the attachments between the skin’s layers and the deeper tissues, Dr. Dolev can reposition the facial muscles, effectively reversing the downward sagging that occurs with aging. This creates a more lifted and natural appearance.
Achieving a Balanced and Harmonious Look
The beauty of the Deep Plane Facelift lies in its ability to reposition the tissues in a more three-dimensional way. Rather than simply pulling the skin taut, this technique restores volume and re-establishes the contours of the face by repositioning the muscles back to their youthful position. Patients experience a rejuvenated look that restores the natural shape and balance of the face without the “pulled” look that can sometimes occur with more superficial facelifts.
Addressing the Neck and Jawline
One of the most noticeable benefits of the Deep Plane Facelift is its ability to address both the upper face (sagging cheeks and jowls) and the lower face and neck (loose skin and muscle laxity). By tightening the neck and jawline muscles, the technique can dramatically improve the definition of the chin, jaw, and neckline, resulting in a smoother, more youthful contour.
Focusing on the underlying muscular and connective tissue layers, the Deep Plane Facelift offers a powerful and transformative solution for those seeking long-lasting facial rejuvenation. It is one of the most advanced and effective techniques in aesthetic surgery today.
Benefits of the Deep Plane Facelift:
- Natural, youthful results: Repositioning facial muscles and tissues ensures a more natural look, avoiding the “pulled” appearance that can result from more superficial facelifts.
- Long-lasting effects: By addressing the deeper layers of the face, the results are more enduring, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for years.
- More comprehensive rejuvenation: The technique lifts sagging skin and restores volume and contours, improving the upper, lower, and neck areas.
- Less tension on the skin: Since the deeper structures are being lifted and repositioned, there is less tension on the skin, which can reduce the risk of complications and achieve more seamless results.
Long-Lasting Results
The Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift procedure focuses on repositioning deeper structures rather than merely pulling on the skin. This restores your face’s natural, youthful contours and tends to be more durable over time. The technique effectively reverses aging effects, such as deep nasolabial folds, sagging cheeks, and a weak jawline, but it does not change your unique structure. Depending on the individual, results can last between 10 to 15 years.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift are ideal for individuals experiencing moderate to advanced signs of aging. Good candidates are those with significant sagging in the cheeks, jawline, or neck. It is often recommended for patients who have lost facial volume and seek a more comprehensive solution for restoring youthful contours. As with any surgical procedure, Dr. Dolev will carefully assess your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to determine if the Deep Plane Facelift and Necklift are appropriate techniques for you.
