Deep Plane Facelift

Hello Dear Readers, I am Dr. Ahmet Kaplan.

For years, it has been my great passion to share the knowledge and experience I have gained in the field of aesthetic surgery, particularly in facial rejuvenation. Many patients visit our clinic with a common desire: to have their external appearance match the youthful and vibrant spirit they feel inside. However, as time passes, the effects of gravity, genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors lead to significant changes in our faces.

The signs of aging on our faces are not limited to fine lines and wrinkles. Deeper within, the fat pads that support our skin diminish, shift, muscles loosen, and most importantly, the connective tissues (ligaments) that hold all these structures in place gradually relax. This results in issues like sagging cheeks, a blurred jawline (jowling), deep nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), and neck laxity.

While traditional facelift methods have yielded successful results for many years, they sometimes fell short of providing the natural, refreshed, and long-lasting results we desired, or could occasionally lead to an artificial appearance, because they primarily addressed only the skin or a thin layer of tissue directly beneath the skin (the SMAS – Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System).

This is precisely where a significantly more sophisticated and effective technique, representing a revolution in facial rejuvenation surgery, comes into play: the Deep Plane Facelift.

In this article, I will delve into what the Deep Plane Facelift technique is, why it yields such effective and natural results, who is an ideal candidate, the detailed steps of the surgical process, the recovery phases, and provide answers to the most frequently asked questions, all with complete transparency. If you’re ready, let’s embark on this profound journey towards youth together.

The Aging Process: How Does Time Leave Its Mark on Our Faces?

Before we understand the Deep Plane Facelift technique, it’s crucial to grasp why and how our faces age. Aging is a complex process that affects not just the skin, but all the layers beneath it.

1. The Skin Layer: Collagen and elastin production decreases, causing the skin to thin and lose elasticity. External factors like sun damage and smoking contribute to increased wrinkles and pigmentation changes.
2. Fat Tissue: The facial fat pads, which are full and prominent in youthful areas like the cheekbones, lose volume or shift downwards with age. This leads to hollowed cheeks, deepened nasolabial and marionette lines (lines extending downwards from the corners of the mouth). Fat accumulation along the jawline specifically creates the “jowl” appearance.
3. Muscles and the SMAS Layer: The SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) layer is a strong fibrous network that encases the facial muscles and lies just beneath the skin. With age, this layer loosens and sags downwards under the influence of gravity. Constant use of facial expression muscles also contributes to the formation of prominent lines. The platysma muscle in the neck can loosen, forming vertical bands.
4. Connective Tissues (Ligaments): The ligaments (retaining ligaments) that connect facial structures to the underlying bones and other fixed points weaken with age. The relaxation of these ligaments is one of the primary factors causing the descent of the overlying layers (fat, SMAS). Cheek sagging and jowl formation are directly related to the loosening of these ligaments.
5. Bone Structure: In later years, resorption (loss of bone density) can also occur in facial bones. Particularly, the reduction in bone support around the jawline, cheekbones, and eye sockets creates a foundation that allows the soft tissues to sag more noticeably.

While traditional facelift methods primarily work by pulling the skin or the SMAS layer, the Deep Plane technique focuses on addressing the root causes of aging: the loosening of ligaments and the displacement of deeper tissues. This is the fundamental difference of the technique.

The Evolution of Facelift Surgery: Why Is Deep Plane a Turning Point?

Facelift surgery has undergone significant evolution over the years. Early techniques were based solely on skin tightening. These methods were quick and relatively simple but could result in an artificial look, and sagging often recurred quickly because the underlying structural problems were not addressed.

Later, techniques were developed that involved the SMAS layer. SMAS flaps were lifted and tightened. While this yielded better results than skin-only lifts, it still fell short of directly addressing the sagging and displaced fat pads in the deep layers of the face. Some SMAS techniques, when applied by cutting and pulling the SMAS, could still give the face a tight or pulled appearance.

The Deep Plane Facelift technique represents the most advanced stage of this evolution. In this technique, the surgeon operates in the anatomical “deep plane” beneath the skin and the SMAS layer. This plane contains the crucial retaining ligaments that contribute to facial sagging. The surgeon releases these specific ligaments, allowing the entire unit of tissue – consisting of the SMAS, muscles, and fat pads – to be mobilized and moved upwards to its correct, youthful position. This means restoring the tissue’s natural placement without creating tension.

What is Deep Plane Facelift? A Deep Dive into Technical Details

As the name suggests, the Deep Plane Facelift is performed in the anatomically defined “deep plane” of the face. So, where exactly is this “deep plane”?

From the outside inwards, our face consists of the skin, subcutaneous fat tissue, the SMAS layer, branches of the facial nerves, the parotid gland (salivary gland), the chewing muscles (masseter), and finally, the bone structure. The deep plane is the area directly beneath the SMAS layer, located above the facial nerves (for the most part) and above the parotid gland and masseter muscles.

In the Deep Plane technique, the surgeon minimally elevates the skin and subcutaneous fat tissue to access the SMAS layer. Then, the SMAS layer is incised, and the surgeon carefully enters this “deep plane.” As they advance in this plane, they encounter the critical ligaments (e.g., zygomatic ligaments, masseteric ligaments, platysma-auricular ligament) that connect the SMAS to the underlying stable structures and cause facial sagging. The surgeon meticulously releases these ligaments one by one.

Once the ligaments are released, the SMAS layer, the muscles attached to the SMAS (like the zygomatic muscles), and the displaced fat pads overlying these muscles can move freely. The surgeon gently lifts this combined tissue unit upwards and backwards, restoring it to its original, youthful position, and secures it in this new position with permanent sutures. This procedure directly addresses sagging in the midface (cheeks), softens nasolabial and marionette lines, and eliminates jowl formation along the jawline.

Neck sagging is also often addressed as an integral part of this technique. The loosened platysma muscle in the neck is tightened (platysmaplasty), either through the same deep plane dissection or via a small incision under the chin. The Deep Plane technique effectively addresses the underlying anatomical problems responsible for neck sagging, making it a very powerful approach for neck rejuvenation as well.

The lifting and repositioning of this “combined tissue unit” as a single piece is the magic of the Deep Plane technique. Instead of applying tension to the skin or just the SMAS, the underlying structural “skeleton” of the face is rebuilt. The excess skin is then trimmed and closed with sutures without tension. This provides both a natural result and potential advantages in terms of wound healing and scar quality.

Deep Plane Facelift vs. Traditional (SMAS) Facelift: Why is Deep Plane Often Preferred?

While both techniques fall under the umbrella of “facelift,” they differ fundamentally in the level they address and their working principles. These differences have a decisive impact on the naturalness, longevity of results, and the recovery process.

In essence, the Deep Plane Facelift does not just improve the appearance of the skin and SMAS; it repairs the underlying structure of the face that changes with age. This makes it one of the gold standards in modern facial rejuvenation surgery.

Who is a Candidate for Deep Plane Facelift? Is This Technique Right for You?

The Deep Plane Facelift is not a one-size-fits-all solution for every age and face type. Careful patient selection is crucial to achieving the best results. Generally, this technique is ideal for individuals with the following characteristics:

• Those with Significant Facial and Neck Sagging: Particularly those with noticeable sagging in the cheeks (jowl formation), loss of jawline definition, and deep nasolabial and marionette lines. Individuals with significant laxity and platysmal bands in the neck area benefit considerably from this technique.
• Individuals Experiencing Midface Volume Loss and Sagging: For people whose midface has become hollow or cheeks have sagged due to the downward shift of fat pads, a deep plane lift naturally restores volume and fullness to this area.
• Patients Who Have Previously Had Facelift Surgery but Did Not Achieve Sufficient Results or Whose Results Were Short-Lived: The deep plane technique often offers a more lasting and effective solution for patients who did not see the desired effect with traditional methods or whose results disappeared quickly, because it targets the deeper problems that were not addressed in the previous surgery.
• Individuals Aged 40 and Over: This is typically the age range where noticeable signs of aging begin to appear. However, this is not a strict age limit. What matters is the individual’s biological age and the degree of sagging in their face. Patients well into their 70s who are in good general health can also achieve successful results.
• Those in Good General Health: As with any surgical procedure, good general health and controlled chronic conditions are important. For smokers, the risk of wound healing issues and complications increases significantly, so quitting smoking (preferably at least 4-6 weeks beforehand) is strongly advised.
• Individuals with Realistic Expectations: The Deep Plane Facelift is an effective rejuvenation method, but it will not turn back the clock to your 20s. The goal is to significantly reduce the signs of aging, give the face a refreshed and natural expression, and essentially halt or slow down time, not rewind it completely.

The best way to determine if this technique is right for you is to have a detailed consultation with an experienced facial aesthetic surgeon, such as myself. Your facial structure, skin quality, the degree of sagging, and most importantly, your expectations, will be evaluated to create a personalized treatment plan.

The Surgical Process with Dr. Ahmet Kaplan: From Preparation to Recovery

The Deep Plane Facelift is a comprehensive procedure that requires detailed planning, precise surgical technique, and a careful recovery process. In my approach, it is essential for the patient to feel safe and well-informed. The process typically includes the following steps:

1. Comprehensive Consultation and Planning: Charting Our Course

This phase is one of the most critical parts of the entire process. It begins with a face-to-face meeting at our clinic.

• I Listen to You: First and foremost, I take the time to deeply understand what changes in your face bother you, what kind of result you envision, and what your expectations are.
• Detailed Evaluation: I examine all layers of your face: your skin quality, elasticity, fat distribution, bone structure, muscle tone, and most importantly, how your tissues have sagged. I evaluate your face from different angles to identify the unique effects of aging on you.
• Your Medical History: I gather detailed information about your general health, medications you use, surgeries you’ve had, allergies, etc. This information is vital for the safety of the surgery.
• 3D Imaging and Simulation: We use advanced 3D imaging systems to create a three-dimensional model of your face. This technology allows us to clearly see your current situation and simulate the potential results we can achieve with the surgery. This is a fantastic tool for both clarifying your expectations and optimizing my surgical planning.
• Explaining the Procedure: I explain the Deep Plane Facelift technique, how it is performed, the expected results, potential risks, and the recovery process step-by-step in clear, understandable language. I dedicate time to answer all your questions.
• Customized Plan: Every face is unique, and the aging process varies from person to person. Therefore, based on all the information I gather, I create a surgical plan that is specifically tailored to you, your facial anatomy, and your expectations. Perhaps combining the facelift with eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), brow lift, fat grafting (volume restoration), or laser skin resurfacing (improving skin quality) might also be beneficial for you; we will discuss these options as well.

2. Surgery Day and Detailed Surgical Technique

Once planning is complete, the surgery is performed on the agreed-upon date. Deep Plane Facelift is generally performed under general anesthesia. This is the most suitable method for both your comfort and my ability to work with the utmost precision and safety. The duration of the surgery typically ranges from 3 to 5 hours, depending on any additional procedures being performed.

Surgical Steps:

• Incision Placement: Incisions are strategically placed in locations where scars can be as hidden as possible. They usually begin within the hairline in the temple area, extend down in front of the ear’s natural curves, around the earlobe, behind the ear, and back into the scalp. This way, the healed scars are easily concealed by the hair or the ear’s contours.
• Skin Flap Elevation: The skin is elevated only to a necessary degree to access the SMAS layer. This means less skin elevation compared to traditional methods, which helps preserve the skin’s blood supply.
• Incising the SMAS and Entering the Deep Plane: The SMAS layer is carefully incised along defined lines, and the surgeon enters the deep plane beneath the SMAS with microscopic precision. This step requires extreme care and experience to avoid damaging the facial nerves. The main branches of the facial nerve usually lie above this plane, but some smaller branches may be close to the plane. An experienced surgeon is well-versed in these anatomical details.
• Releasing the Ligaments: As the surgeon advances in the deep plane, they encounter the crucial retaining ligaments (like the zygomatic ligaments, masseteric ligaments) that cause facial sagging by connecting the SMAS to underlying stable structures. These ligaments are carefully and controllably released. Releasing the ligaments allows the SMAS+muscle+fat unit, as described earlier, to move freely.
• Repositioning and Securing Tissues: Once the ligaments are released, the SMAS and all attached structures are gently lifted upwards and backwards to their original, youthful position. These tissues are then secured in this new position with permanent sutures to the underlying stable structures (like the periosteum, the membrane covering the bone) without creating tension. This fixation ensures the longevity of the results. Midface sagging is corrected at this stage, the cheeks regain fullness, and nasolabial lines soften.
• Neck Lift (Platysmaplasty): If neck sagging is present, the loosened platysma muscle is tightened, either through the deep plane dissection approach or via a small incision under the chin. This sharpens the neck contour and the jawline.
• Excess Skin Removal: After the deep tissues are secured in their new positions, the excess saggy skin is carefully trimmed without any tension applied. The absence of tension is key to better scar healing and achieving a natural look.
• Closure: The incisions are meticulously closed using aesthetic suturing techniques. Small drains (drainage tubes) are usually placed to prevent blood collection.
• Dressing: The surgical area is covered with sterile dressings, and a supportive bandage is applied to the face.

3. The Recovery Process: Renewing with Patience and Care

The post-operative period is just as crucial as the surgery itself, and collaboration between the patient and the surgeon is essential for achieving a good result.

• Immediately After (First 24-48 Hours): Patients typically stay in the hospital for one night after surgery. During this time, pain management is provided, drains are monitored, and initial check-ups are performed. Swelling, bruising, and a numb sensation are normal. Keeping your head elevated and applying cold compresses help reduce swelling.
• First Week: Drains are usually removed within 1-2 days. Swelling and bruising may be most prominent during this period. Pain is usually mild and can be controlled with prescribed pain medication. A feeling of tightness and numbness in the face continues. Resting at home and avoiding strenuous physical activity are very important during this week. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process.
• 2-4 Weeks: Swelling and bruising begin to subside quickly. The facial contours start to become more defined. Sutures (if non-dissolvable) are usually removed during this time. Most patients can begin to return to their social lives, although some residual bruising or swelling can be camouflaged with makeup. The numb sensation in the face may persist.
• 1-3 Months: The majority of swelling (80-90%) resolves. Facial contours appear much more defined and natural. The numb sensation decreases, and skin sensation begins to return. Gradual return to most normal activities, including exercise, is possible. Scars may still appear pink but start to fade.
• 3-6 Months: The final results of the surgery become apparent. Any remaining minor swelling and numbness completely resolve. Scars lighten and become nearly imperceptible. You become accustomed to your face’s new, refreshed, and natural appearance.
• 6 Months and Beyond: Scars complete their maturation process. The results are permanently established. While the aging process continues, the new foundation created by the Deep Plane Facelift gives you the advantage of a younger appearance for years to come.

The recovery process varies from person to person. Being patient, following your surgeon’s instructions, and taking good care of yourself are the most important factors during this time. At our clinic, we are here to support you through every step of your recovery process.

Advantages of Deep Plane Facelift: Why Does It Make Such a Difference?

There are several key advantages that make the Deep Plane Facelift technique special and highly preferred:

• Unmatched Naturalness: The biggest advantage of this technique is that it provides completely natural-looking results, without the “done” appearance. By repositioning the underlying tissues to their natural location rather than simply pulling the skin, facial expressions and character are preserved. No one will look at your face and say, “They’ve had a facelift”; they will say, “How refreshed and well they look.”
• Superior Longevity: By addressing the root cause of aging at the deep plane level, the fixation achieved provides significantly longer-lasting rejuvenation effects compared to traditional methods. It is often possible to see the results lasting for 10 years and even longer in many patients. This means your investment provides a return in youthful appearance for many years.
• Dramatic Improvement in Midface and Jawline: The Deep Plane technique is particularly effective in correcting sagging and volume loss in the midface (cheeks). The cheeks regain fullness, and the cheekbones become more defined. Jowl formation along the jawline is eliminated, and the jawline contour becomes sharp and defined. These areas are among the most visibly affected by aging, and the deep plane technique directly targets them.
• Excellent Integration with Neck Rejuvenation: Neck sagging and bands often appear alongside facial sagging. The Deep Plane technique allows for the platysma muscle to be addressed in the same deep plane, seamlessly integrating the neck lift with the facelift. This provides a harmonious and youthful appearance extending from the chin to the collarbone.
• Better Preservation of Skin Circulation: In the Deep Plane technique, the skin flap is elevated to a lesser extent compared to traditional methods. This means the skin’s blood supply is better preserved. This can potentially help reduce the risk of wound healing problems and skin complications (like skin necrosis).
• Less Tension, Better Scars: Since the deep tissues are secured to the underlying stable structures, no tension is applied to the skin. The excess skin is trimmed and sutured without tension. This contributes to the scars healing thinner, flatter, and becoming less noticeable over time.
• Potential Advantages for Future Needs: Since a structural foundation is created at the deep plane, even if aging continues in later years, any potential “touch-up” or secondary procedure needed is likely to be less extensive than the initial surgery would have been with other methods.

All these advantages make the Deep Plane Facelift technique a premier option for individuals seeking a natural, effective, and long-lasting rejuvenation.

Potential Risks and Complications: Transparency is Key

Like any surgical procedure, the Deep Plane Facelift carries potential risks and complications. However, these risks are minimized when performed by an experienced surgeon in a sterile environment with appropriate patient selection. It is important to be aware of and understand these risks when making your decision about surgery.

General Surgical Risks:

• Infection: There is a small risk of infection with any surgery. Antibiotic prophylaxis and sterile conditions help reduce this risk.
• Bleeding and Hematoma: Bleeding or collection of blood under the skin (hematoma) can occur after surgery. The use of drains and careful post-operative monitoring help minimize this risk. Rarely, a small surgical procedure may be needed to drain a hematoma.
• Anesthesia Risks: Risks associated with general anesthesia are evaluated and managed by the anesthesiologist.

Risks Specific to Deep Plane Facelift:

• Nerve Injury: Branches of the facial nerve are located just beneath the SMAS layer. Because deep plane surgery involves this plane, there is a theoretical risk of nerve injury. However, an experienced surgeon, with a thorough knowledge of facial anatomy, works carefully to protect these nerves. Typically, nerve damage is temporary and resolves within weeks or months. Very rarely, permanent nerve damage (weakness or asymmetry in the face) can occur.
• Numbness and Sensation Changes: Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation in the surgical area is common. This condition is usually temporary and improves within weeks or months. Numbness in small areas can rarely be permanent.
• Asymmetry: The two sides of the face are naturally not perfectly symmetrical. Slight asymmetry may also be present after surgery. Often, pre-existing asymmetries may persist or become more noticeable after surgery. Perfect symmetry can never be guaranteed.
• Scarring Issues: Although incisions are placed in hidden areas, there is a risk of hypertrophic (thickened) or keloid (excessively grown) scar formation in some patients. This risk depends on the individual’s skin type and wound healing characteristics. Scar appearance can be improved with scar care and additional treatments if needed.
• Skin Necrosis: Loss of skin tissue (necrosis) due to impaired blood supply to the skin flap is a very rare complication. The risk significantly increases in patients who smoke. The lesser degree of skin flap elevation in the deep plane technique helps reduce this risk.
• Prolonged Swelling and Bruising: In some patients, swelling and bruising may take longer to resolve than expected.
• Dissatisfaction: There is always a risk that expectations may not be fully met or the achieved result may not be at the desired level. Therefore, detailed consultation and realistic expectations before surgery are very important.

In my approach, all these potential risks are discussed transparently with you before the surgery. I use the most current and safe surgical techniques and take all precautions before and after the surgery to minimize risks. The important thing is to make an informed decision by being aware of and understanding the risks.

More Detailed Answers to Frequently Asked Questions by Dr. Ahmet Kaplan

Let’s provide more detailed answers to the questions I most frequently encounter regarding the Deep Plane Facelift at our clinic:

1. Will Deep Plane Facelift Surgery Leave Scars? When Do the Scars Fade?

Yes, as it is a surgical procedure, scars will remain, but our goal is to make them as inconspicuous as possible. The incisions are hidden within the hairline in the temple area, in the natural creases in front of the ear, around the earlobe, behind the ear, and again within the scalp. Initially, these scars may be pink and slightly raised. However, with time (typically within 12-18 months), they mature, lighten, flatten, and blend with the surrounding skin color. In most cases, they can be easily concealed by hairstyles or the hair around the ears. Scar quality also depends on individual genetic predisposition, but surgical technique and post-operative scar care (like scar massage, silicone sheets/creams) can significantly improve the appearance.

2. How Long Does Pain Last After Surgery? How Is It Managed?

The Deep Plane Facelift is generally less painful than patients anticipate. Instead of severe pain, a feeling of tightness, soreness, or discomfort in the face is more common. This discomfort is usually most intense in the first few days and can be effectively controlled with prescribed pain medication. Pain rapidly decreases within the first week. Numbness may last longer than pain. Severe and persistent pain could be a sign of a complication and should be reported to your doctor immediately.

3. Is There an Age Limit for Having This Surgery?

There is no strict upper age limit for the Deep Plane Facelift. What matters is not the person’s chronological age, but their biological age, general health status, and the degree of aging signs on their face. Typically, patients between 40 and 70 years old are the most common candidates because significant sagging tends to appear in this age range. However, patients over 70 with good general health can also achieve successful results. For very young individuals (in their 30s) with minimal sagging, less invasive methods (like fillers, Botox, thread lifts, or mini-lifts) may be more appropriate. The decision is based on individual needs and a detailed evaluation.

4. When Will I Feel and Look Completely “Normal”?

While this varies from person to person, the final results of the surgery typically become fully apparent within 3-6 months, and you will have completely adjusted to your face’s new look. In the first few weeks, you may not feel “normal” due to swelling, bruising, and numbness. After 1 month, physical recovery is largely complete, but slight swelling and numbness may persist. Around 3 months, you will feel much better, both physically and emotionally. Remember that recovery involves not just physical healing but also the process of adjusting to your new appearance.

5. Can Other Cosmetic Procedures Be Combined with Deep Plane Facelift?

Yes, Deep Plane Facelift surgery can frequently be combined with other facial rejuvenation procedures. In fact, these combinations are quite common to achieve overall facial harmony and a more comprehensive rejuvenation. The most common combinations include:

• Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty): While the facelift targets the lower face and neck, upper and/or lower eyelid surgery can be added to address sagging eyelids and under-eye bags.
• Brow Lift: Drooping eyebrows can make the upper face look tired. A brow lift can be performed concurrently with the facelift using endoscopic or other techniques.
• Fat Grafting (Fat Transfer): With age, certain areas of the face (temples, cheeks, under-eye hollows) lose volume. Injecting fat harvested from another area of the body into these regions complements the lift effect of the facelift with added volume, creating a fuller and more youthful look.
• Laser or Chemical Peel: Fine wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin texture irregularities are not corrected by a facelift. Procedures like laser skin resurfacing or chemical peels can be performed in a separate session from the facelift to improve skin quality.

During the pre-operative consultation, we will discuss in detail which combinations would be most suitable for you based on your overall facial rejuvenation goals.

6. Are the Results of Deep Plane Facelift “Permanent”?

The word “permanent” should be used with caution in aesthetic surgery. The Deep Plane Facelift does not guarantee you will look exactly the same “for life.” The aging process continues after the surgery. However, because this technique addresses the underlying structural issues, the rejuvenation effect achieved is significantly longer-lasting and more durable compared to traditional methods. It is often observed that the results maintain their noticeable effect for 10 years and even longer in some patients. So, the surgery does not reset the aging clock, but it turns it back for many years and makes your face more resilient against the effects of time.

Dr. Ahmet Kaplan’s Approach and Philosophy

For me, facial rejuvenation surgery is not just a technical procedure; it is also an art form. Every face has its unique beauty and character. My philosophy is to preserve this individuality and achieve natural, harmonious results. My goal is not to create tight, “pulled” faces, but to help you see someone in the mirror who looks more refreshed, more vibrant, but is still you.

In line with this philosophy:

• Safety Comes First: Patient safety is my highest priority in every step, from planning to the recovery process.
• Personalized Planning: I treat each patient as unique, carefully analyzing their facial anatomy and expectations to create a truly customized surgical plan.
• Technical Proficiency and Precision: Advanced techniques like the Deep Plane Facelift require a high level of knowledge, experience, and precision. Mastery of facial anatomy and working with millimeter accuracy are essential for both safety and aesthetic success.
• Naturalness and Harmony: Achieving results that are not artificial but harmonious with the overall face and look natural is my core objective.
• Honest and Transparent Communication: I maintain open and honest communication with my patients about the potential benefits, risks, recovery process, and realistic expectations of the surgery.
• Comprehensive Follow-up: I closely monitor your post-operative recovery process to quickly address any potential issues and support your complete healing.

One of the main reasons I choose the Deep Plane Facelift technique is because it aligns perfectly with my philosophy of achieving natural and long-lasting results.

Regain Confidence with Deep Plane Facelift

Our face is a reflection of who we are. The marks left by time on our faces can sometimes make us look older than we feel. The Deep Plane Facelift technique is one of the most effective and sophisticated solutions offered by modern aesthetic surgery. By addressing the deep anatomical layers of the face, it eliminates the primary causes of aging and provides you with a long-lasting, refreshed, vibrant, and most importantly, a completely natural appearance.

If you look in the mirror and are bothered by sagging in your face, a blurred jawline, or laxity in your neck, and you desire a lasting, natural-looking rejuvenation, the Deep Plane Facelift might be the right option for you.

Remember, this is an important decision, and consulting with an experienced specialist is essential to get the most accurate information. I would be delighted to welcome you to my clinic, carefully evaluate your face, listen to your dreams, and transparently explain what the Deep Plane Facelift technique can do for you.

Wishing you health and beauty, and may you look at life with renewed confidence.
