What is the reality of recovering from a deep plane facelift? In this episode of UnPhiltered, facial plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon and co-host Nancie discuss her personal facelift journey, diving into the specific surgical considerations and the day-to-day post-operative experience.

Learn the intricacies of neck contouring, including when a submental incision is necessary to address platysmal bands and the long-term risks of submandibular gland removal. Dr. Solomon explains how aggressive deep neck work can sometimes lead to a "cobra neck deformity" and why conservative approaches and expert surgical judgment are critical for natural results.

Discover what the recovery timeline actually looks like. From managing zero-pain days and washing hair on day two, to why your iPhone Face ID might temporarily fail due to swelling. Finally, Dr. Solomon answers the most common consultation question: exactly how long do facelift results last, and how do age, lifestyle, and technique impact the need for future touch-ups?
