Hello all, I am very confused by the different terminologies used for face lift but think I need a deep plane facelift with platysmaplasty to last. would I be the right? surgeons in the U.K/Europe seem to prefer/think other types of lift would be just as good & now I’m more confused. There are other procedures I think I need but I thought it best to see what you professionals think? I am self conscious about darkness under my eyes and my skin tone. I am 57 years old & have electronic lifts
Answer: Face and Neck Lift Hi there. Thank you for your question and photos. You will benefit from a Face and Necklift. A facelift aims to address ageing concerns of the face and to provide rejuvenation. Various different techniques can be combined in order to accomplish the established goals, so make sure you are communicating effectively with your surgeon. You also have to take into account your own anatomy as that will have a determining factor on your overall result. It is however, easy to get lost in all the terminology, and I would advise you not to fixate on that. I would recommend a consultation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon who will perform a physical examination and discuss realistic outcomes with you. Best of luck! Kind regards, GB
