What is deep plane facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a type of facelift surgery that targets the deeper layers of tissue beneath the skin to provide more extensive and longer-lasting rejuvenation results.

During a deep plane facelift, the surgeon lifts and repositions not only the skin but also the underlying facial muscles and tissues. This allows for a more comprehensive and natural-looking rejuvenation of the face by addressing sagging and volume loss in multiple layers of tissue.

Deep plane facelifts are often recommended for individuals with significant facial aging, such as deep wrinkles, prominent jowls, and sagging skin. The procedure can result in smoother skin, improved facial contours, and a more youthful appearance overall.

While deep plane facelifts offer more transformative results compared to traditional facelifts, they also tend to be more invasive and have a longer recovery time. Patients can expect some bruising, swelling, and discomfort following the procedure, but these effects typically subside within a few weeks.

As with any surgical procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to determine if a deep plane facelift is the right option for your individual needs and goals.
