A deep plane facelift is a type of facelift procedure that is designed to reposition tissue, release specific ligaments, and remodel deeper attachments of the face to achieve a more natural-looking, youthful appearance. It is an invasive cosmetic procedure that is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Some key features of a deep plane facelift include:
-
Technique: The deep plane facelift technique involves releasing and lifting the deeper muscles and connective tissues of the face and neck, rather than just tightening the skin.
-
Benefits: A deep plane facelift can restore a more youthful and rested appearance to the aging midface. It can also provide longer-lasting results compared to other facelift techniques.
-
Recovery: Recovery time for a deep plane facelift can vary, but patients can typically expect some swelling and bruising for the first few weeks after the procedure. Patients may also need to wear a compression garment to help reduce swelling and support the healing process.
Overall, a deep plane facelift is a powerful tool for achieving a more youthful, natural-looking appearance. However, it is an invasive procedure that should only be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon after a thorough consultation and evaluation of the patients individual needs and goals.
