Expert Neck Lift Surgery for a Sculpted, Youthful Look
A Deep Plane Neck Lift is a surgical procedure ideal for those who have fullness in the neck area, with an overall good cheek and good jawline contour. Some people, genetically, have a persistent double chin, or obliquely shaped neck, despite weight loss, regimented diet and exercise. Patients who have these concerns would be great candidates for a Deep Plane Neck Lift.
Dr. Sanan’s Deep Plane Neck Lift is performed through just one incision hidden in the crease below the chin. Through this minimal incision approach, Dr. Sanan is able to contour multiple layers of your neck, including the deep muscle layers and fat tissues. This contouring allows Dr. Sanan to give you the best neckline contour possible for you anatomy. The deep plane neck lift procedure fundamentally changes the structural groundwork of your neck. This surgery does not improve any sagging of the lower face such as jowls or loose skin along the jawline.
Deep Plane Neck Lift
The New Gold Standard
Traditional Neck Lift procedures do not address the deepest layers of the neck structures. Deep Plane Neck Lift surgery is a surgical procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of the neck by tightening and smoothing the underlying muscle and sculpting the deep neck fat, muscle, and gland compartments.
What is unique about this procedure is that it addresses the deep layers of the neck which are typically not targeted in traditional neck lift surgeries. By tightening and repositioning the platysma muscle, removing the deep neck fat, and sculpting the deep neck muscles and glands, a Deep Plane Neck Lift can create a more defined and youthful-looking jawline and neck contour.
- The results are long-lasting and highly satisfying
- Permanent removal of stubborn neck fat, double chin resulting in a more contoured, youthful neck shape

Will I need to have aftercare nurses?
It is recommended that you have a nursing service pick you up from surgery and bring you home. For our patients who travel out of state/country, you will need to have a nurse present for 48 hours, unless you are bringing a support system with you.
I am on a tight timeline. How can I get back on my feet as quickly as possible?
We have all patients on a very specific post-operative protocol, including lymphatic drainage massage and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Will I have drains and a headwrap dressing?
Yes, you will have drains for about 36 hours after surgery, and you will have a headwrap dressing for the first week following surgery. This is purely for your safety to ensure you do not get a fluid collection or rip any sutures.
How painful is the Deep Plane Neck Lift procedure?
Truthfully, our patients say that they are not in pain after surgery. Instead, they feel tight, but it is nothing that Tylenol can’t handle for them.
What is the downtime after Deep Plane Neck Lift surgery?
Downtime following surgery is typically 7 to 14 days. You may experience swelling and bruising for up to 10 to 14 days after surgery. Once day 14 rolls around, you are not going to be conscious about any residual swelling you may have, and any makeup will cover tiny bruises that are left behind.
Where are the incisions?
Incisions are made following the natural curves of your face and neck. You have an incision hidden beneath your chin and another wrapping under your ear and behind your ear.
What is the return to activity?
Week 1: Light walking only
Week 2: You may introduce light elliptical and treadmill walking
Week 3-5: You may introduce light weights (10lbs or less) and pilates/yoga
Week 6+: You are fully cleared of all activity restrictions. You may resume swimming, heavy weight lifting, and HIIT exercises at this time.
When can I fly/travel again after a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
You can fly as soon as 7 days after surgery, provided Dr. Sanan clears you to do so. You will have sutures that need to be removed on day 14. If you fly out of town, you will need to return for the removal.
