The Deep Plane Difference

The ‘Deep Plane Facelift’ has become anincreasingly popular term thanks to its rise among high-profile patients, butwhat separates the procedure from a traditional facelift? All facelifts targetthe signs of aging within the lower half of the face; this includes jowls, asagging neckline, nasolabial folds, and so on. Contrary to common belief, thetreatment focuses only on these areas of the face and does not address droopingof the brows or forehead (although, we can help patients out with this, too).With an incision that wraps around the bottom of the ear and is tucked into thehairline, excess skin can be removed to tighten and lift along the neck,jawline, and cheeks. So, what makes the two different?

Traditional Facelift

This procedure is for those whose concernslie primarily in the sagging or thinning of their skin alone and find thatinjectables are no longer sufficient to address them. A traditional faceliftlifts and tightens only the skin, separating it from the deeper tissues of theface. This is a great option for patients who have a good foundation of fat andmuscle below their skin and need just a perk up!

Deep Plane Facelift

Rather than targeting just the skin, a deepplane facelift is great for those who have experienced loss of volume to revealhollow tear troughs and fallen cheeks. By tightening the ligaments and deepertissues of the face, rather than just the skin, slidden fat pads and droopingmuscles are replaced to where they originally sat. Because this procedure iscompleted at a deeper level, the recovery tends to be easier than that of thetraditional facelift with minimal bruising or swelling by comparison.
