Sculpted And Statuesque
Aging, lifestyle, weight loss, and even genetics can cause sagging, drooping skin on the neck. Wrinkles or banding can further age the appearance of the neck, making us look aged and possibly older than we really are. At Face Forward, a Deep Plane Neck Lift in Houston can restore youthful definition and bring back confidence in your profile with results that look completely natural.

Hold Your Head High With Confidence
A Deep Plane Neck Lift is an advanced surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate the neck and jawline by tightening and repositioning the deeper layers of tissue and muscle beneath the skin, known as the platysma and deep plane structures. This approach goes beyond traditional neck lift methods that address only surface skin, offering a more comprehensive, natural, and longer-lasting improvement. By working on the foundation of the neck rather than the surface alone, this technique restores youthful definition, reduces fullness, and enhances the overall contour of the neck and jawline.
In most neck lifts, the extra skin and superficial fat are removed. This improves the appearance of the neck but may give a limited result in some patients. A Deep Plane Neck Lift addresses the deeper structures of the neck in addition to the superficial skin and fat. In some patients, deep fat, stretched muscles, and enlarged salivary glands may be the cause of fullness in the neck. A Deep Plane Neck Lift is the only way to reduce these structures. This comprehensive approach to contouring and rejuvenating the neck is much longer lasting, and patients can expect their results to last many years.
Youthful Contour Restored
The deep plane technique effectively lifts and tightens the deeper layers of muscle and tissue in the neck. It provides comprehensive correction of neck aging, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful neck contour. Benefits of a Deep Plane Neck Lift include:
A Deep Plane Neck Lift is ideal for addressing the underlying causes of neck and jawline aging. This advanced technique can effectively treat:
By refining these areas, patients achieve a smoother, more sculpted neckline that complements the overall facial balance.
Find Your Sagging Skin Solution
Most candidates are seeking to reduce loose, sagging skin in their neck, smooth wrinkles and creases, and restore definition to the jawline. While there is no specific age limit for a Deep Plane Neck Lift Houston patients should be in overall good health to ensure proper recovery and have a sufficient amount of skin elasticity.
Yes. A Deep Plane Neck Lift can be used for an aging neck, but is also a powerful procedure for patients who have a heavy neck or double chin. For some patients, a heavy neck is genetic. Deep fat, or fat that is deep to the platysma muscle, is often dictated by genetics and does not respond to weight loss. Patients who are a healthy weight but carry weight in their neck may be a candidate for a Deep Plane Neck Lift.
Professional And Compassionate From Start To Finish
At Face Forward, our goal is to partner with our patients to craft ideal treatment plans that will provide the most optimal results. During your private consultation, we will map out your aesthetic goals and discuss your health history to determine whether this procedure is right for you. Prior to surgery, we may need to request lab work or medication adjustments, and we do require that you quit smoking for at least several weeks.
Artistry, Skill, Outstanding Results
Typically conducted under general anesthesia, Dr. Rodman will create a single, precise incision beneath the chin in order to keep scarring to a minimum. Then, the tissue will be meticulously adjusted, fat will be removed and repositioned if necessary, and tension will be applied in strategic areas for a flawlessly natural-looking result.
After a Deep Plane Neck Lift, patients can expect mild swelling, tightness, and temporary bruising in the first week. Most return to light daily activities within 10–14 days, and the final results become more visible over the following months as tissues settle. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to support optimal healing and minimize any visible scarring.
Patients typically begin to see noticeable improvements in their neck contour and appearance within several weeks to months. Final results may continue to improve and refine as swelling subsides and the tissues settle into their new position, which may take up to a year. To maintain great results with your Deep Plane Neck Lift, regular sun protection, a healthy lifestyle, and optimal skin care are all crucial.
Patients may experience bruising, swelling, and discomfort in the treated area for the first week or two following surgery. While individual recovery times vary, most patients can resume normal activities within two to three weeks. Proper care of the incision sites is crucial for minimizing scarring and promoting optimal healing.
When performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, a Deep Plane Neck Lift is considered very safe. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks such as bleeding, infection, temporary numbness, or minor asymmetry. These occurrences are uncommon and are minimized with expert technique and proper post-operative care. Dr. Rodman takes every precaution to ensure patient safety and outstanding results.
Many patients choose to pair their Deep Plane Neck Lift with additional procedures to enhance facial balance and achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Popular combinations include:
Combining procedures allows for harmonious, longer-lasting results and minimizes overall downtime.

The cost of a Deep Plane Neck Lift varies depending on the complexity of the procedure, anesthesia, and whether it is performed alongside other surgeries such as a facelift or liposuction. During your consultation, Dr. Rodman will provide a detailed quote and review available financing options to make your treatment plan as accessible as possible.
Pain is typically minimal and well-controlled with prescribed medication. Most patients describe tightness or mild discomfort in the first week, which resolves quickly as swelling subsides.
Most patients seeking a Deep Plane Neck Lift are in their 40s to 60s, but younger individuals with early signs of aging or genetically heavy necks may also benefit. The best age depends on your anatomy and goals.
Yes. Many men undergo this procedure to achieve a more defined jawline and firmer neck while preserving a strong, natural appearance. Incisions are discreetly placed for minimal visibility.
Incisions are made in natural skin folds or beneath the chin, so any scars are subtle and fade over time. With proper care and sun protection, they become nearly undetectable.
