I had a deep plane face and neck lift in March 2025 and I am absolutely delighted with the results. I am 64, and over the last few years my double chin had become increasingly noticeable. Age, a sedentary job, and genetics all played a part, even though I have otherwise stayed reasonably slim and active. The way my chin looked no longer reflected how I felt inside, and it really bothered me. In fact, it bothered me so much that it annoyed me that I was annoyed! Eventually, I decided to look seriously into doing something about it.
During my research, Dr Russell Bramwell and McKeown Medical came up again and again, and after my first consultation with Russell I knew I wanted to go ahead. I did talk to some family members, but it’s not an easy subject—nobody wants to say the wrong thing or hurt your feelings. In the end, it was something I knew I had to do for myself. For me, this felt less like a cosmetic procedure and more like a restorative one—it gave me back the feeling of self that I thought I had lost.
If you are reading this because you’re considering a procedure, I would definitely recommend arranging a consultation with Dr Bramwell. He is approachable, open, and completely non-judgemental. He takes time to have an honest, straightforward discussion about what is possible and what is right for you.
I haven’t had any other treatments such as fillers or microdermabrasion, though I can see how those might complement the surgery. But for now I am very happy with my natural jawline, and I really appreciate that there has been no pressure whatsoever to pursue further treatments. That, to me, shows an admirable level of genuine care for the individual.
