This patient had a cheek and neck lift with SMAS and platysma plication. Note elimination of jowls, crisp neckline, leaner/longer appearing neck, restoration of cheekbone prominence, and improvement of nasolabial & labiomental folds. More

Quarter view demonstrating a stronger jawline, much more youthful and swan-like neck, with the restoration of cheek fullness. This view also demonstrates that with aging, the chin area becomes "squared off", and after facelifting, the chin area becomes more "triangular" which is consistent with a youthful appearance. More

The side view demonstrates the improvements from a different perspective. In the preop view, the cheek fat pad can be clearly seen to have migrated toward the neck and mouth creating a jowl, resulting in a deflated cheek. Postoperatively, the jowl is elevated into its more youthful position resulting in a strong, "clean" jawline and youthful chin. The cheek is full and youthful. The neck has a better defined, slimmer, and longer appearance. Interestingly, the neck improvement is also seen extending to the back of the neck. More
