The Deep Plane Facelift is a revolutionary facial rejuvenation surgery technique that achieves more natural, longer-lasting outcomes. While standard facelifts address the superficial layers of the face, the Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper tissues for a long-lasting lift.

Achieving Natural Rejuvenation with the Deep Plane Facelift

This approach is ideal for those who seek substantial rejuvenation without the telltale signs of surgery. Addressing the deeper tissues effectively combats the sagging and drooping associated with aging for a refreshed, youthful look that is incredibly natural. You will look like you – just years younger. At Liebertz Plastic Surgery at Yarrow Bay, we are honored to be considered a leading plastic surgery practice performing this advanced facelift technique.

Are you a candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

A candidate for a deep plane facelift is typically someone in their mid-40s to 60s who has pronounced sagging of the face, particularly around the midface and neck. This individual seeks a more comprehensive rejuvenation than traditional facelifts offer. Good skin elasticity, overall health, and realistic expectations are essential. Non-smokers or those ready to quit are ideal, as smoking can hinder the healing process.

The procedure

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where your desires and concerns are addressed. Upon settling on the Deep Plane Facelift, the procedure involves making discreet incisions, often concealed within the hairline or natural facial contours. Through these incisions, the deeper facial tissues—known as the SMAS layer—are repositioned and tightened. This not only lifts the skin but also the underlying muscles and structures, providing a comprehensive enhancement. The skin is then redraped, and any excess is trimmed, ensuring a smooth and natural appearance.

Your recovery

Recovery from a Deep Plane Facelift is relatively straightforward. After the procedure, it's natural to experience some swelling and bruising, which typically subsides after a week or two. You must keep the head elevated and avoid strenuous activities for a week or two. Most individuals feel socially presentable within 10-14 days, although individual healing rates can vary. Scars are skillfully hidden, will mature, and become less noticeable over a few months. Regular check-ups ensure everything is healing as planned and allow any questions or concerns to be answered.

Comprehensive facial rejuvenation

Comprehensive facial rejuvenation goes beyond a single procedure to holistically enhance and refresh your appearance. Patients can achieve more harmonious and balanced results by combining treatments like facelifts, neck lifts, and eyelid surgeries. Adding procedures such as facial lipocontouring, brow lifts, or buccal fat removal can refine the result. This integrated approach ensures that all facial features complement each other, giving a refreshed, youthful look.
