What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address age-related changes in facial structure and skin laxity. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily focus on tightening the skin, this technique involves elevating and repositioning both the skin and underlying muscle layers to provide structural support. The goal is to improve facial support while maintaining the patient’s natural features.
The images above show a patient 11 weeks after undergoing a deep plane face and neck lift, lower blepharoplasty, and facial fat grafting.
Recovery typically involves 2 weeks of social downtime, with most swelling and bruising subsiding within 10–14 days. Light activity can resume within a week, while more strenuous activities should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Final results continue to refine over the next 3–6 months.
