Deep plane facelift

This active grandmother in her 60s sought a deep plane facelift in Portland to address sagging along her jawline and refresh her overall appearance. She leads a busy lifestyle filled with yoga and hiking, and she wanted her outward look to better reflect her energy and vitality. Her main goals included reducing jowling and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles while maintaining her unique facial features.

Her facelift procedure involved a deep plane technique to reposition deeper facial tissues. This approach helped create a natural and long-lasting result. In the months following surgery, she noticed smoother contours around her jawline and a more youthful look. She expressed satisfaction with the subtle but effective changes, saying she feels more confident and that her appearance now aligns with how she feels inside.
