deep plane facelift surgery



In the realm of facial rejuvenation, there are various surgical and non-surgical options available to address the signs of aging. Among these options, the deep plane facelift surgery stands out as a powerful and effective surgical procedure. It's becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to provide natural, long-lasting results that go beyond what traditional facelift surgery techniques can achieve. In this blog, we will delve into the reasons why you should consider deep plane facelift surgery.

  1. Comprehensive and Natural Results - One of the main fears of patients considering facelift surgery is the result looking unnatural or too pulled. In this respect the main advantage of deep plane facelift surgery is that it avoids too much tension on the skin. This advanced technique involves repositioning the deep layers of facial tissues, including the muscles and fat, as opposed to merely tightening the skin. By addressing these deeper layers, the surgery can provide more profound and longer-lasting results. It effectively restores youthful contours to the face, making it look rejuvenated without appearing overly stretched or pulled.
  2. Addresses Multiple Signs of Aging - One of the primary advantages of the deep plane facelift is its capacity to address multiple signs of aging simultaneously. It targets sagging skin in the cheek, jowls, and a drooping neck. This all-in-one approach ensures that the entire lower face and neck region are harmoniously rejuvenated, creating a more youthful and balanced appearance by anatomically repositioning the deep tissues to their original and more youthful position. 
  3. Improved Neck Contour - A deep plane facelift is very often combined with necklift surgery common concern as people age is the development of a sagging and wrinkled neck. The deep plane facelift when combined with a necklift can provide significant improvements in neck contour, creating a more youthful and defined neckline. By lifting and repositioning the deep tissues, this technique eliminates the appearance of a double chin and tightens the neck muscles, effectively addressing age-related neck issues. Since the anatomy of the lower face and upper neck is intimately related these procedures work synergistically to provide an improvement of the neck and face together to achieve the best and uniform results. Of course there may be situations in younger patients where neck surgery is not required but if there are any signs of neck laxity it is always best to combine these procedures..
  4. Long-Lasting Results - Compared to some other facelift techniques, the deep plane facelift offers more long-lasting results. Patients can enjoy the benefits of their surgery for many years. The average longevity of a facelift is approximately 10 years . While aging will continue to occur, the deep plane facelift essentially turns back the clock, allowing individuals to maintain a youthful appearance for an extended period. This means that in 10 years time you should still look better than if no surgery had been performed in the first place.
  5. Reduced Risk of a "Pulled" Appearance - One of the concerns many individuals have when considering a facelift is the possibility of ending up with an unnatural, "pulled" appearance. The deep plane facelift minimises this risk by working on the deeper facial structures, allowing the skin to be delicately re-draped without excessive tension. This results in a more subtle and harmonious rejuvenation that avoids the telltale signs of an overly tightened look. In fact in the deep plane approach the degree of skin elevation is minimised compared to traditional approaches. 
  6. Optimal Scarring - Scarring is a common concern for anyone considering cosmetic surgery. The deep plane facelift involves incisions that are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. The incisions are typically concealed along the hairline and in the curves both in front and behind the ears, ensuring that scars are discreet and not easily noticeable. Since there is less tension on the skin the scars tend to heal better with less risk of scars stretching and tell tale signs such as the earlobe being pulled downwards ( the so called ‘pixie ear’ ).
  7. Expertise and Experience - To achieve the best results, it's crucial to choose an accredited surgeon with extensive experience in deep plane facelift surgery. Since this particular technique involves the deep plane which is near to the facial nerves few surgeons will offer the surgery. In many cases surgeons will offer a simplified version of a SMAS facelift where the SMAS layer is simply plicated or lifted in a more limited manner. Therefore, Anyone considering a deep plane facelift should ask their surgeon that a true deep plane facelift is being offered and they are experienced in this technique
  8. Enhanced Confidence and Well-Being with psychological benefits - The visible signs of aging can often lead to a decrease in self-confidence and overall well-being. The deep plane facelift can reverse these effects, helping individuals feel more confident and content with their appearance. A rejuvenated, youthful look can have a profound impact on a person's self-esteem and quality of life.
