What is a Deep Plane Neck Lift?
There are a number of procedures available at Laser & Cosmetic Surgery Specialists PC to improve the appearance of the neck, including liposuction, mini neck lift, direct neck lift, extended deep plane facelift surgery, and the deep plane neck lift. A deep plane neck lift is a type of neck lift surgery that sculpts and transforms the deeper layers of the neck to achieve dramatic and long-lasting neck rejuvenation.
Traditional neck lift surgery usually involves:
- Liposuction
- Removal of excess skin and fat
- Tightening of the platysma muscle with sutures

The deep plane neck lift involves similar steps to those used in a traditional neck lift, but the deep plane neck lift addresses deeper tissues. During the deep plane neck lift, the platysma muscle is sutured at the midline and tucked under the jaw laterally to maximize resuspension. For additional contouring, the deep plane neck lift addresses excess fat lying below the platysma. The doctor also trims the digastric muscles and low-hanging submandibular glands.
Dr. Rubinstein is known for his dramatic, natural-looking neck lift and deep plane neck lift results. Each neck lift is unique and he creates a personalized surgical plan for each patient. Dr. Rubinstein may recommend a facelift or another cosmetic procedure along with a neck lift in some cases, based on the patient’s goals.

Neck Lift Consultation in Newburgh and New York, NY
Dr. Rubinstein provides neck lift consultations in Newburgh and New York, NY, for adult men and women who want to improve their neck and jawline appearance. During the neck lift surgery consultation, he reviews the patient’s goals, medical conditions, drug allergies, current medications, and previous surgeries to ensure that they are a good candidate.
To provide an approximate preview, Dr. Rubinstein uses 3D imaging technology, which allows the patient to visualize how a neck lift will improve their appearance. He performs a general health evaluation and measures and examines the patient’s face and neck before recommending a course of treatment. He will discuss the likely outcome of the neck lift, along with any risks, and go over anesthesia options. Patients are encouraged to ask questions.

THE PROCEDURE
Neck Lift Procedure in Newburgh and New York, NY
Dr. Rubinstein will plan the surgical procedure during the consultation, which may involve cervicoplasty to remove excess skin or platysmaplasty to alter the neck muscles. He typically performs traditional neck lift procedures with local anesthesia and sedation, however, general anesthesia may be used during a deep neck lift.
During a deep neck lift, a single 1-inch incision is hidden under the chin. Dr. Rubinstein removes superficial fat as well as fat located deep within the neck and under the chin before lifting and tightening the neck muscles during the customized procedure. He lifts layers of skin, fat, muscles, glands, and connective tissue, and sculpts a more refined and elegant jaw and neckline.
Neck lift surgery is unique and the incisions may vary. To avoid hematomas and healing complications after surgery, Dr. Rubinstein usually places a temporary drain in the area. He also places a compression dressing around the head and neck to encourage proper healing.
Neck Lift Recovery
Dr. Rubinstein provides each patient with neck lift aftercare instructions based on the details of their surgery. Dr. Rubinstein removes the drain and replaces the compression dressing the day after surgery.
Patients typically return to see Dr. Rubinstein after the first and second week to have sutures and staples removed. Bruising and swelling are generally handled with ice, compression dressing, and elevation. Most bruising and swelling dissipate within the first two weeks and patients begin to see improvements right away or as swelling disappears.
Deep plane neck lift patients typically need 7 to 14 days of downtime to rest and recuperate after surgery. During this time, bruising and swelling are expected, and patients may take over-the-counter medication or prescription medication to reduce any discomfort.
Final neck lift results are seen in 4 to 6 months. Scars are hidden in the lines under the chin and fade during the first six months to one year.
