Deep Plane Facelift
The deep-plane facelift is modification of the traditional facelift. During this type of facelift, Dr. Sofer will lift and reposition the muscle and the deeper layers of the face. Dr. Sofer will also separate certain muscle layers off of deeper muscles and or other facial structures.

During this surgery, Dr. Sofer will make an incision and lift the skin on the sides of the brows.
Platysmaplasty or Submentoplasty

As part of the aging process, many people will notice that these muscles begin to protrude from the neck resulting in two neck “cords” or bands running vertically down their necks. (Known as the turkey neck look) During a platysmaplasty, Dr. Sofer will separate the skin from the platysma muscle directly treat these cords. A platysmaplasty is commonly performed with facelifts and necklifts.
