Deep Plane Facelift
The deep plane facelift is the most advanced and reliable technique for patients experiencing significant sagging of the midface, lower face, and neck. Facial aging is primarily influenced by two factors: gravity and loss of soft-tissue volume and elasticity. This procedure effectively addresses both.
A deep plane facelift corrects sagging jowls, descended cheeks, and excess skin on the face and neck, resulting in a dramatically rejuvenated, naturally lifted appearance. By repositioning deeper structures rather than simply tightening the skin, the results look youthful, refined, and long-lasting.
How the Procedure Works
After a discreet incision placed just in front of the ear, the surgeon gently separates the skin from the SMAS layer (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). Using the deep plane technique, the retaining ligaments are released, allowing the deeper facial tissues to be repositioned vertically and without tension.
This deeper, anatomical lift produces a smoother jawline, a refined neck contour, and a refreshed, youthful facial expression.
The procedure may be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s preferences.
