The neck can be a trouble area for many people as they age. The skin and muscles in the neck can become loose, resulting in multiple issues. The infamous “turkey neck” with hanging skin and tissue is undesirable, but almost impossible to address without extensive plastic surgery. At Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center, we offer our deep plane neck lift to sculpt and tighten the neck tissues.

A traditional neck lift is used to remove excess skin and fat while tightening the top layer of skin and tissues. While this can be effective for some individuals, it is not for everyone. When there are multiple issues such as deep fat, loose neck cords and drooping salivary glands, more extensive surgical procedures are needed to achieve a youthful, svelte neck.

Dr. Stefan Shuaib is double board certified in Facial Plastic Surgery and in Head and Neck Surgery, and has extensive experience performing intricate neck lift procedures. He utilizes advanced techniques to address all the various compartments in the neck to define the jawline, chin and neck tissues. The deep plane neck lift procedure can include:

• Neck liposuction to remove superficial fatty tissue
• Deep fat excision
• Skin excision
• Tightening of the platysma muscles (neck cords)
• Salivary gland sculpting

Dr. Shuaib tailors every deep plane neck lift to the patient. The goal is to create the defined angles between the jaw and neck for a youthful and attractive appearance.

Quicker Recovery with Minimal Bruising

The techniques that Dr. Shuaib uses during his deep plane neck lift procedures allow for a quicker recovery for his patients. Although the procedure is very complex and addresses more areas than a traditional neck lift, patients can still experience less bruising and faster healing than other similar procedures. Dr. Shuaib does not use drains with his neck lift procedures, offering a more comfortable and less painful recovery period for his patients.

If you have an aging or “turkey” neck, consider the benefits of a deep plane neck lift. Contact our team at Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center to schedule a neck lift consultation with Dr. Shuaib. Call our office in Irving, TX, to book your appointment.
