Can I get away with deep plane neck lift only? (Photos)

Kane
I don't want the scars in front of the ears. I'm 40. I believe my cheek area is in decent condition, where deep plane facelift is not really warranted yet. I had jawline lipo and didn't give me the definition I wanted. I think I have deep neck fat, maybe glands that need trimming. Is my hyoid high? I'd like to get deep plane necklift with incision under chin and behind ears. I keep reading from some surgeons, neck lift only does not work or last, just because SMAS is connected with platysma. If you are removing deeper structures that add bulk and tightening the platysma, it should last many years, despite not doing a facelift. I'm also considering maybe doing a ponytail facelift in conjunction with deep plane necklift, but concerned about raising of lateral canthus of eyes, potentially feminizing the eyes? I would do the deep plane face and neck, if it wasn't for that ridiculous scar in front of tragus, as a man, we are more prone to scarring, keloids, is unacceptable for a younger man and people will notice the scar even with makeup
