Deep plane facelift, buccal fat pad removal, lower blepharoplasty, and an Obagi Blue Peel.
Actual patients of Dr. Scott Ennis. These examples include combined procedures. Follow-up intervals were not supplied for these previews. Individual results vary.
What to look for in a comparison
- Compare the jawline and neck with the head held at similar angles.
- Read whether eyelid surgery, fat removal, or a peel was also performed.
- Ask how long after treatment the after image was taken.
Images are a starting point for discussion. They cannot establish whether a procedure is suitable for you or predict your result.
UNDERSTAND THE PROCEDURE
Understanding facelift
A facelift treats sagging facial and neck tissues, including changes around the jawline and cheeks. The surgical plan depends on anatomy, skin quality, and the areas a person wants to address.
An important distinction
A facelift does not stop aging or address every skin concern. Eyelid surgery, brow surgery, or skin treatments may be separate parts of a plan. Ask what a named technique, including “deep plane,” actually involves for you.

Start with your own goals
Bring the changes you want to discuss, your medical history, medications, and prior procedures to a consultation. Ask about alternatives, including waiting or choosing no treatment. A gallery comparison is not a substitute for that assessment.
PLAN FOR THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE
Recovery & follow-up
Bandages and sometimes drains are used after surgery. Your surgeon provides wound-care instructions and a schedule for follow-up. Discuss when you can wash your face, wear makeup, exercise, and return to work; those milestones are different from a final result.

Daily lifeWork, transport, exercise, and help at home.
Ongoing careFollow-up visits and who to contact with concerns.
A BALANCED VIEW
Risks to discuss
Possible complications include bleeding, infection, poor healing, scarring, sensation changes, facial nerve weakness, and an unsatisfactory or asymmetric result. Anesthesia and blood-clot risks also need discussion.

These examples are not a complete list. Ask your treating physician how your health, the chosen technique, and any combined procedures affect risk, and what follow-up care is included.
