Deep Plane Facelift
The term “deep plane” describes the layer that exists between the outer muscles and skin, and the deeper muscles that are responsible for displaying expressions on the face. The deep plane facelift is designed to release and move the muscle and skin at the same time, repositioning the deeper facial muscles below and providing a lifted appearance to your face and upper neck.
The results seen from a deep plane facelift are often much more rejuvenating and longer lasting (by around 10 years on average) than seen in other facelift techniques. This is down the way in which it effects the actual foundation within the face, rather than just offering a superficial surgery that offers shorter lasting changes and comes with a necessity to be performed again to maintain the appearance. It’s also fairly common that the results of other facelifts are considered tighter and more unnatural as the stretching is purely at skin level rather than in the deeper muscle and tissue layers.
Why choose a deep plane facelift?
Choosing a Deep Plane Facelift could be motivated by various factors including the desire to address aging signs more effectively as compared to traditional facelift techniques. This procedure goes beyond a conventional facelift by also elevating the cheek fat pads and muscles, reducing the nasolabial folds, and reshaping the face to a more youthful heart shape. It’s particularly suitable for individuals looking for substantial and longer-lasting results, as it is known to offer the longest lasting outcomes among facelift techniques, with a notable success in flattening the nasolabial fold.
How does a deep plane facelift work?
The surgery involves making incisions to access the deeper tissues, releasing four ligaments that anchor connective tissue and muscle, ensuring the face is resuspended to create a natural yet dramatic improvement in appearance. Unlike traditional facelifts that merely stretch the face since the ligaments are kept in place, the Deep Plane Facelift addresses the root cause of facial sagging by repositioning the underlying structures, thereby achieving a more natural and rejuvenated look.
What are the results like?
Post-surgery, patients can expect a noticeable enhancement in the contour and tightness of their face, especially in the middle and lower facial areas. The results are not only substantial but are also known to be long-lasting, providing a more youthful appearance that holds up well over time.
