Great day yesterday speaking with medical students at a Careers and Skills Clinic hosted by my good friend and general surgeon Gian Capati.

It was a great reminder of why I chose plastic and reconstructive surgery. The diversity, creativity and precision involved across reconstructive and cosmetic surgery make it an incredibly rewarding specialty. I particularly enjoy giving students an insight into the breadth of what plastic surgeons actually do.

And always a pleasure catching up with passionate colleagues from across the surgical specialties and hearing what inspires them in their own fields.

Operation: Revision deep plane face and neck lift.

Outcome: Before and 6 weeks after surgery. This patient presented following a previous facelift combined with massive weight loss, resulting in recurrent laxity and abnormal scar tethering. Revision surgery involved careful release of scar tissue and a deep plane face and neck lift to improve jawline definition and address neck laxity at a structural level.

By working in the deep plane, the lift repositions the underlying facial structures rather than just tightening the skin, allowing for a more durable and natural result, which is particularly important in revision cases.

This patient also underwent a limited abdominoplasty (mini-abdominoplasty) at the same time.

Surgery duration: 5.5 hours.
Hospital admission: Overnight stay.
Recovery: Facial support band for 6 weeks.
