The Deep Plane Facelift procedure is one of the most advanced and effective facelift techniques available in modern facial aesthetic surgery. With this technique, a natural, long-lasting rejuvenation effect can be achieved, with no lateral ‘sweep deformity’often associated with traditional facelift methods
What is the Deep Plane Facelift all about?
Unlike conventional facelift approaches, which focus mainly on skin tightening and limited manipulation of the fascial layer, the Deep Plane Facelift procedure consists of extensive release, elevation and displacement of the deeper layers of facial tissues. Consequently, this procedure not only improves skin tone but, more importantly, the contour of the face and neck. As a result, it reduces sagging of the mid-face, cheeks and improves the jawline and chin-neck angle.
What are the advantages of the Deep Plane Facelift?
• Natural effect – lifting the deeper layers of tissue results in a younger-looking face, with no lateral “sweep deformity”.
• Long-lasting results – due to operating on the deeper structures of the face, results can persist for many years.
• Facial contour improvement – the procedure noticeably contours the jawline, lifts the cheeks and reduces nasolabial folds.
• Minimal scarring – due to the transfer of the tension of the “lift” to the deep layers and the reduction of the subcutaneous wound area, there are hardly any visible scars in the natural curves after remodelling.
Who is this procedure designed for?
The Deep Plane Facelift is the perfect solution for anyone experiencing signs of ageing in the form of tissue ptosis, such as drooping cheeks, deep nasolabial folds, or loose skin around the neck and jawline. As such, this procedure is suitable for both men and women between the ages of 45 and 80 ( albeit ultimately determined by the severity of the ptosis and the biological age of the patient) who wish to achieve a long-lasting and natural rejuvenation effect.
Recovery and effects of the procedurę
The recovery period after a Deep Plane Facelift procedure usually requires about 3-4 weeks. However, the majority of patients can return to their daily activities after about 14 days. The results of the procedure become gradually noticeable and the full results can be assessed after a few months, when the facial tissues have fully remodelled.
