Combining Deep Plane Facelift and Jaw Shaving Surgery: Insights from Dr. Mehmet Comert

As a plastic surgeon specializing in facial aesthetics, I often encounter patients seeking a comprehensive approach to achieving facial harmony and rejuvenation. Two procedures that perfectly complement each other in achieving these goals are the deep plane facelift and jaw shaving surgery. When performed together, these surgeries can create a naturally refreshed and balanced appearance by addressing both the soft tissue and bony structure of the face.

Why Consider Combining These Procedures?

The deep plane facelift and jaw shaving surgery address different but interconnected aspects of facial aesthetics:

• Enhanced Harmony: The facelift lifts and smooths sagging tissues, while jaw shaving refines the jawline for a proportionate and cohesive appearance.

• One Recovery Period: By combining procedures, patients undergo anesthesia and recovery just once, saving time and effort.

• Optimized Results: These procedures work in synergy, providing a more dramatic and balanced transformation than either procedure alone.

A Closer Look at Each Procedure

Deep Plane Facelift

The deep plane facelift is a state-of-the-art technique that targets the deeper layers of facial tissue. Unlike traditional facelifts that focus solely on the skin, this method repositions deeper structures for natural, long-lasting results.

Key Benefits:

• Lifts and redefines the midface and jawline.

• Reduces deep nasolabial folds and jowls.

• Provides a refreshed, youthful appearance that doesn’t look "overdone."

Jaw Shaving Surgery

Jaw shaving, also known as mandibular contouring, sculpts the jawbone to refine its shape. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to reduce jaw prominence, correct asymmetry, or achieve a softer and more proportionate facial structure.

Key Benefits:

• Enhances jawline symmetry and definition.

• Balances facial features for a harmonious look.

• Achieves a more delicate or streamlined jaw profile.

Why Combining These Procedures Works So Well

When performed together, the deep plane facelift and jaw shaving surgery address both the structural foundation and surface-level signs of aging. This dual approach ensures:

• A naturally youthful appearance, with a sculpted jawline complementing the lifted soft tissues.

• Enhanced definition in the lower face, reducing heaviness around the jowls and chin.

• A single, seamless transformation for patients seeking significant improvements in facial aesthetics.

My Approach to Combined Procedures

As your surgeon, I take great care in planning and executing combined surgeries. Each step is meticulously designed to prioritize your safety and achieve the best possible results:

1. Consultation and Assessment: During our consultation, I’ll evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. Together, we’ll create a customized plan tailored to your needs.

2. The Procedure:

   • Jaw shaving is typically performed first, with precise adjustments to the bone structure.

   • The deep plane facelift follows, lifting and repositioning tissues for a cohesive and natural look.

3. Recovery: While swelling and bruising are normal after surgery, most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery process is. My team and I will provide detailed guidance and support throughout your healing journey.

Is This Combination Right for You?

You may be an ideal candidate for combined deep plane facelift and jaw shaving surgery if you:

• Are in good health and have realistic expectations.

• Have concerns about sagging skin, jowls, or jawline definition.

• Are seeking a comprehensive, long-lasting enhancement of your facial contours.
