Amazing Neck Contouring by Dr. Bashar Bizrah
Three-Story Deep-Plane Face & Neck Lift With Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty
What Can a Full Face and Neck Lift Achieve After Only One Month?
Facial ageing rarely affects just one area. The temples, cheeks, jawline, neck and eyelids may all undergo changes as skin, fat compartments, ligaments and deeper supporting tissues change with age.
For this reason, Dr. Bashar Bizrah, facial plastic surgeon practising in Dubai and London, advocates comprehensive assessment of the entire face rather than focusing exclusively on loose skin.
In this patient, Dr. Bizrah performed a full face and neck lift using a three-story deep-plane approach, addressing:
- The temporal region
- The cheek and midface
- The lower face and jawline
- The neck and submental region
- The upper eyelids
- The lower eyelids
The video documents the patient’s progress at just one month after surgery.

What Is Dr. Bashar Bizrah’s Three-Story Deep-Plane Facelift?
Rather than treating facial ageing as a single layer, Dr. Bizrah describes the operation as working across three anatomical “stories.”
Story 1: Temporal Rejuvenation
The upper story addresses the temporal and lateral facial region. The objective is to restore appropriate support to tissues that have descended with ageing while maintaining a natural relationship between the eyes, temples and cheeks.
Story 2: Deep-Plane Cheek and Lower-Face Lift
The middle story concentrates on the cheek and lower face. Deep-plane surgery works beneath the more superficial facial tissues so that deeper structures can be repositioned rather than relying solely on tightening the skin.
This is particularly important when treating:
- Facial sagging
- Jowls
- Loss of jawline definition
- Descended cheek tissues
- Lower-face laxity
The goal is repositioning rather than simply pulling the skin tighter.
Story 3: Deep Neck Rejuvenation
The third story extends rejuvenation into the neck and submental region. In this case, one of the most visible changes at the one-month review is the transition from significant fullness beneath the chin to a substantially better-defined neck profile.
The relationship between the chin, jawline and neck becomes much clearer.
From Double Chin to a More Defined Neck
At approximately [00:12], the video highlights the change in the patient’s submental region.
Before surgery, considerable fullness beneath the chin obscured the transition between the jaw and neck. At one month, the postoperative appearance demonstrates:
- Reduced submental fullness
- Improved cervicomental contour
- Better jaw-neck separation
- A cleaner neck profile
- Greater lower-face definition
Neck rejuvenation is an important component of comprehensive facial rejuvenation because treating the face without appropriately assessing the neck may leave an imbalance between the two regions.
Sharp Jawline Definition at One Month
Another striking feature of the postoperative review is the patient’s lower-face contour. At [00:36], Dr. Bizrah demonstrates the reduction in redundant lower-face skin and improvement in jawline definition.
Rather than creating an excessively tight appearance, the aim of deep-plane facial surgery is to reposition descended tissues anatomically and allow the overlying skin to settle naturally.
At the one-month stage, healing is still continuing. Final facelift results should therefore not be judged exclusively from early postoperative photographs. Swelling, tissue settling and scar maturation continue for months.
Where Are the Facelift Scars?
A common question from patients considering a facelift is: “Will people be able to see my scars?”
In the one-month postoperative footage, there is no obvious conspicuous facial scar from normal viewing distance.
Facelift incisions are strategically positioned around natural anatomical boundaries, particularly around the ear and hairline, depending on the surgical plan.
However, every surgical incision produces a scar. Scar quality varies according to surgical technique, individual healing characteristics, skin type, postoperative care and other factors.
The objective is therefore not to claim that facelift surgery is literally “scarless,” but to place and manage incisions so they become as inconspicuous as reasonably possible after maturation.
Why Combine Blepharoplasty With a Face and Neck Lift?
Facial rejuvenation does not stop at the jawline. This patient also underwent upper and lower blepharoplasty.
Upper Blepharoplasty
Excess upper-eyelid skin can contribute to a heavy or tired appearance. Upper blepharoplasty removes carefully selected redundant tissue while preserving the natural character of the eyes.
Lower Blepharoplasty
Lower-eyelid fullness or prominent fat compartments may create persistent under-eye bags. Lower blepharoplasty can address this fullness and improve the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
In the featured patient, combining eyelid rejuvenation with the face and neck lift creates a more comprehensive change across the upper, middle and lower thirds of the face.
Why Deep-Plane Facelift Surgery Is Different From Skin Tightening
A facelift should not simply mean pulling the skin. The deeper facial tissues contribute significantly to age-related descent.
A deep-plane approach is designed to mobilize and reposition these deeper structures, allowing the skin to redrape over the newly supported tissues.
This philosophy aims to achieve:
- Repositioning instead of excessive pulling.
- Structural rejuvenation instead of surface tightening alone.
- Natural facial proportions instead of an obviously operated appearance.
The appropriate technique nevertheless depends on each patient’s anatomy, ageing pattern, previous surgery and clinical assessment.

One-Month Results Are Not the Final Results
One month after a major face and neck lift is still relatively early in the healing process. Although this patient’s transformation is already clearly visible in the video, postoperative tissues continue to evolve.
Residual swelling may decrease further, tissues continue to settle and surgical scars progressively mature.
Therefore, individual recovery timelines vary, and results seen in one patient should never be interpreted as a guarantee of identical results in another.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a deep-plane face and neck lift?
A deep-plane facelift is a facial rejuvenation technique that works beneath superficial tissues to reposition deeper facial structures. When extended into the neck, it can simultaneously address the cheeks, jowls, jawline and neck.
What is Dr. Bizrah’s three-story facelift concept?
Dr. Bashar Bizrah describes comprehensive facial rejuvenation in three principal anatomical regions or “stories”: the temporal area, cheek/midface and neck. The exact operation is individualized according to the patient’s anatomy.
Can a facelift improve a double chin?
A face and neck lift can improve submental fullness and loss of neck definition in appropriately selected patients. The exact treatment depends on whether the problem results from skin laxity, fat, muscle anatomy, deeper neck structures or a combination of factors.
Can a facelift create a sharper jawline?
Improvement of jowling and descended lower-face tissues can produce greater jawline definition. The achievable degree of definition depends on the patient’s anatomy and surgical plan.
Can blepharoplasty be performed with a facelift?
Yes. In appropriately selected patients, upper and/or lower blepharoplasty may be performed alongside face and neck lifting to address ageing around the eyes as part of more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How long does swelling last after a deep-plane facelift?
Swelling varies considerably between patients. Significant improvement generally occurs during the early recovery period, but residual swelling and tissue settling can continue for weeks or months.
Are deep-plane facelift results permanent?
No facelift permanently stops ageing. Surgery repositions existing tissues, but the natural ageing process continues afterward. Genetics, skin quality, lifestyle, sun exposure and other factors influence long-term appearance.
Will there be visible scars after a face and neck lift?
Facelift surgery requires incisions and therefore creates scars. Surgeons typically position incisions around natural anatomical boundaries such as the ear and hairline to make mature scars less conspicuous. Final scar appearance varies between patients.
When can I see the final result?
Meaningful changes can be visible within the first several weeks, but one-month results are not considered fully mature. Further refinement occurs as swelling subsides and tissues and scars mature.
Who is suitable for a full face and neck lift?
Potential candidates typically have clinically significant facial or neck laxity, jowling, tissue descent or loss of jawline definition and are medically suitable for surgery. An in-person or appropriately conducted preliminary consultation is necessary to determine candidacy.
Is a deep-plane facelift better than every other facelift technique?
No single technique is automatically best for every patient. The appropriate operation depends on anatomy, ageing pattern, previous procedures, medical history and the surgeon’s assessment and expertise.

Watch the One-Month Face & Neck Lift Transformation
The featured video provides a useful opportunity to observe an actual patient’s early postoperative progression following a comprehensive three-story deep-plane face and neck lift combined with upper and lower blepharoplasty.
At one month, the documented changes include substantial improvement of the submental region, clearer jawline definition, reduction of redundant lower-face tissue and rejuvenation around the eyes.
Most importantly, facelift surgery should seek to preserve the patient’s identity while restoring more youthful facial proportions—not create an artificial or excessively tightened face.
