What is a Deep Plane Face Lift?
A Deep Plane Face Lift goes beyond merely tightening the skin. It repositions the deeper muscle and fat layers of the face, enhancing the natural contours and restoring youthful volume. This approach ensures a more natural and refreshed appearance, avoiding the overly tight look often associated with conventional facelifts.
BENEFITS OF A DEEP PLANE FACE LIFT
Natural-Looking Results: Achieves a youthful, rejuvenated appearance without the “pulled” look.
Long-Lasting Effects: Provides more durable results by addressing deeper facial structures.
Enhanced Facial Contours: Restores volume and redefines the natural contours of the face.
Minimal Scarring: Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
What is a Deep Neck Lift?
A Deep Plane Neck Lift focuses on repositioning and tightening the deeper muscle and fat layers of the neck. By addressing these underlying structures, this technique delivers a more comprehensive and natural enhancement of the neck and jawline.
BENEFITS OF A DEEP NECK LIFT
Natural Results: Removes extra volume in a ‘Heavy Neck.’
Durable Outcomes: Ensures long-lasting results by addressing the root causes of aging in the neck.
Improved Neck Contours: Reshapes the fat, muscles and tissues in the deeper layers of the neck, which enhances the contours of the neck and jawline.
Minimal Scarring: Incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring.
What our patients say
5 STAR SERVICE!!! the Best in Facial Plastic Surgery
Hello, I am a 5 year patient of Dr S. He is the absolute best, anyone who works in plastic surgery including other doctors/nurses want to be his patient other plastic surgeons have commented on his flawless work that I had done. He makes you look refreshed. I have genetic predisposition to premature aging and facial laxity, so my face started showing aging a little younger than expected. I already reviewed him before on my under eye blepharoplasty and endoscopic brow lift in or around May/June 2021, I did this for my wedding in 2022. I looked completely flawless. Now in 2023/2024, I wanted to address the lower laxity in my neck, and lower face, he did a mini face lift for me on 1/19/24, his pre op, and post op care is above and beyond, he is “old school” his bed side manner and customer service spares no expense, he will give you 1-2 hours of his time any time he sees you just to make sure you feel and are PERFECTLY taken care of, he is probably one of the best facial plastic surgeons in the country. It doesn’t matter how much extra pre or post care you may need he provides it. (He is also a master at botox, fillers, and anything else, he knows all the muscles and bone lines to add to rejuvenate a face) I will say if you are doing a mini lift stock up on electrolytes and also protein smoothies. I had to have a little extra post op electrolytes IV because I only stocked up on soft foods, but not liquid foods, that was my fault entirely. Dr S prices are fair, he spares no expense and you can text him any time. I am going to share some pics from the 2021 procedure after, for the mini lift I started feeling like myself 7 days post op (next time I do work I will plan it better, I personally need a full week of rest), my healing was slower, initially due to not having gatorade or protein smoothies on hand, I plan to get a full face lift again by 50 (neck/eyes/forhead/lower face IF needed, I may not need it), I am 39 now, I truly worry that Dr S (that’s my husbands nickname for him) I worry he will retire. Please note that I know a lot about plastic surgery, I have been interested in it for years. Dr. S will never do a procedure you don’t need, because he is not in this for the money, he has a talent and a craft and he is one of the best. He will always encourage realistic refreshed expectations and results so you look like YOU, only well rested and well aged. I used to feel embarrassed about sharing my photos, but at my age, nearly 40, I want everyone to know it’s okay to tell the world you had plastic surgery to feel and look your best. I want other patients to know who they can trust with their life!
A True Artist and Perfectionist! Wouldn’t Trust Anyone Else!
Dr. Szachowicz is an absolute wonder! I am in my late 40s and very nervous to get any work done for fear of being over done. He was very conservative in his approach and used my natural contours and photos from my past as a guide.
His recommendations, were spot on (BOTOX: 11s, corner of eyes, brow, bunny lines, large temporal muscles; FILLER: lips and under eyes) and his injections were clearly guided by a professional and skilled hand.
He adds filler slowly, adding a little and then you come back and tweak over time. After hearing and seeing so many botched jobs (particularly where filler is concerned), I was nervous to move forward, but with Dr. Szachowicz practiced hand, I look amazing and I am so glad I finally did it!!
Even my mother who was against my getting injections said she was so glad I did it because the result was so good and natural, I just looked like a younger version of myself!
I recommend him whole heartedly!!
Endoscopic brow lift and under eye blepharoplasty – I just look so refreshed and natural for my age
I had and endoscopic brow lift, under eye blepharoplasty, Botox and fillers. From Dr Edward Szachowicz at his old location, he did move but still operating in similar areas and he is amazing I hope he doesn’t retire anytime soon he did so good my face looks super natural. He did almost a 2 hour initial consult free he was so picky about getting my photos right I knew he was the best surgeon based on how OCD he is with detail. I look refreshed.
One of my eyes was almost completely hooded at age 37! So he pulled everything together. He also talked me out of any unnecessary extra stuff he did filler in my nasolabial area and Botox to relax my forehead before the surgery. You can’t tell I’ve had work I just look so refreshed and natural for my age.
Seriously I pray he doesn’t retire anytime soon. His expertise is unmatched – his attention to detail is the best I’ve seen that’s what u want for your face. His initial quote was free and time the time he put in it and pricing is extremely fair. He also has a really nice assistant.
From Botox to facelifts, he is the best of the best.
I first met with Dr. Szachowicz in 1996. He is extremely caring, personable, gentle, an artist, and a perfectionist. His office is beautiful, with staff being efficient and top-notch as well. From Botox to facelifts, he is the best of the best.
Exactly what I wanted
Dr. Szachowicz gave me exactly what I wanted and I’m so thankful! I was nervous because I was hoping for a subtle change and didn’t want to look over done, but it turned out perfect. I was given a simulation of the result along with a ton of information at my consultation. He didn’t over promise and then ended up delivering way higher than I expected. I also had an appointment the day after surgery to answer any questions/concerns. Recovery was super easy and way less painful than my wisdom teeth. These pictures are only around a week post op. Not a huge change but makes a big difference in my profile and when I smile, almost looks like I got chin liposuction too. Highly recommend this doctor!!
They went from being deflated to beautiful luscious lips instantly!
I have been going to Dr. Edward Szachowicz for over a year now. He has face fillers and botox, performed on me. I have been simply astounded by the results. My family and friends just keep telling me I look great & younger, but not one of them knows I had work done. He is an artist, pure and simple, and has the best bed-side manner. I am always thrilled with the results and the experience. Never felt better. He just performed filler on my lips. They went from being deflated to beautiful luscious lips instantly! They also look lifted that make me look younger.
Excellent, thorough, careful and informative.
I have seen Dr. Szachowicz exclusively for the last four years. I cannot say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, thorough and he doesn’t try to sell you on something you’re not interested in. He is ALWAYS a physician first. He listens carefully and adjusts your plan accordingly. I started off with fillers of some kind, but settled on Sculptra because I liked the look better on me and I wasn’t concerned about “waiting” for results.
His injections are flawless and I’ve never bruised. I have consistently had good, natural looking results. He takes his time and painstakingly prepares you for every step of the procedure. I recommend him without reservation. His office assistant, Victor, is a gem. He is professional and welcoming. As I have no experience with his surgical practice, I can’t comment on it. For everything else, he has exceeded my expectations.
Chin Implant Review – Minneapolis, MN
I was researching whether to have a chin implant and potentially jaw angle implants or even a sliding genioplasty. I had septorhinoplasty December of the prior year to correct a deviated septum and large dorsal hump. After several months of research, I felt very confident in proceeding with Dr. Szachowicz to correct a pretty heavily receded chin. As a male, I felt this part of my appearance did not reflect my personality and was always a source of self-consciousness. The procedure itself was easy and the recovery was much better than the septorhinoplasty. There was some scary swelling the first few days, but that was expected and ultimately quickly subsided. I was barely able to fit into a large flowers mandibular glove implant given my facial structure but was happy I could. I am not sure I would have been happy with a smaller implant. Post procedure I was not able to feel any trace that the implant was moving or that something was amiss. To be extra sure nothing shifted, I had a titanium bone screw used as part of the procedure to fasten the implant in place. It looks completely natural and I am absolutely pleased with the result!
I have to say that this procedure along with other prior procedures have enabled me to go about in an office environment undetected and also undetected with family members unless I had revealed the procedures. There has been a tremendous amount more attention and compliments received but no one could quite pinpoint anything. I wish I had done this a decade earlier but costs and not being informed at a young age precluded this. This is certainly a life changing procedure and I am happy to undergone this. This subtle change makes an immeasurable difference to your appearance.
