Aesthetic surgery is a constantly evolving field, and the techniques for facial rejuvenation are no exception. There are several methods for facelifts. The choice of the surgeon’s technique depends on multiple factors. One particular method among these is gaining popularity: the deep plane facelift.
What is deep plane facelift?
This approach is referred to as “deep plane” because it involves repositioning the tissues of the face and neck at a deeper level, just above the facial nerves. With this technique, specific facial ligaments are released so that the drooping tissues can be lifted and repositioned. Compared to traditional facelifts, the results are longer-lasting because the lifting is performed at a deeper level.

Natural results
This type of facial and neck lift is recommended for skin laxity due to aging and to improve deep nasolabial folds, jowls, jawline contour and midface volume loss. Excess skin and fatty tissue in the face and neck are also addressed, giving the skin a smoother yet natural appearance.
Using this technique, tension on the facial incisions is minimized, reducing the risk of a pulled-skin look. The outcome is, therefore, usually more natural. In addition, the scars are concealed within the hairline and around the ears.
Who is deep plane facelift suitable for?
A deep plane facelift may be recommended starting around the age of 40, when there is hollowing of the cheekbones. Depending on your needs and desired results, this facelift can also be combined with other facial and neck rejuvenation procedures, such as eyelid surgery, upper lid surgery and skin rejuvenation techniques.
