A deep plane facelift works beneath the superficial facial layers, repositioning deeper tissues rather than pulling the skin tight. This allows for more natural movement and structural support.
Patients with moderate to advanced facial tissue descent, particularly in the mid-face and jawline, may benefit. Suitability is determined during a surgical consultation.
The deep plane technique aims to avoid a tight appearance by supporting the face from within. Skin is allowed to settle naturally without excessive tension.
Initial recovery usually takes a few weeks, with swelling reducing gradually. Full healing and tissue settling can take several months.
While no surgical procedure stops the natural ageing process, the structural changes achieved with a deep plane facelift are long-lasting and designed to age naturally over time.
