What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue to reverse the visible signs of aging.

Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily address the skin, this technique focuses on the SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), a fibrous layer of tissue that supports the facial muscles and connects them to the skin.

As we age, the SMAS layer weakens, contributing to sagging cheeks, deeper folds around the nose and mouth, and a loss of definition along the jawline. By releasing and repositioning the SMAS layer, a deep-plane facelift not only lifts the skin but also restores the underlying structural support of the face.

This approach ensures a more youthful, natural contour by addressing the root causes of sagging and volume loss. Additionally, the precise adjustment of the SMAS minimizes tension on the skin, reducing the risk of a tight or artificial appearance and leading to more comprehensive and lasting results.

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift?

  • Addresses Multiple Aging Concerns: Simultaneously lifts sagging tissue, smooths deep folds, and restores facial volume for comprehensive rejuvenation.  
  • Minimally Noticeable Scarring: Strategically placed incisions ensure scars are well-hidden within natural facial contours and hairlines.  
  • Reduces Maintenance Treatments: The long-lasting results decrease the need for frequent non-surgical interventions like fillers or skin-tightening treatments.
  • Enhances Facial Symmetry: The advanced technique allows precise adjustments to improve balance and harmony across facial features.  
  • Strengthens Jawline Definition: Repositions tissue to create a sharper, more youthful jawline and neckline.  
  • Natural Aging Progression: Allows for a more natural aging process, ensuring the face continues to look balanced as the years go on.

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Consultation

The Deep Plane Facelift procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Davidson. During this initial meeting, he carefully evaluates your facial anatomy, listens to your aesthetic concerns, and discusses your goals to determine the most effective surgical approach for achieving natural, harmonious results. This personalized planning ensures that every aspect of the procedure is tailored to your unique needs.

Procedure

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia in a state-of-the-art, hospital-based facility equipped with advanced technology and supported by board-certified anesthesiologists. This commitment to safety and excellence provides our patients with peace of mind throughout the surgical process.

Small, well-concealed incisions are strategically placed around the ears and hairline to minimize visible scarring during the procedure. The SMAS layer is carefully released and repositioned to create a natural, lifted contour. Excess skin is removed with precision to ensure a smooth and youthful appearance, and the incisions are meticulously closed for optimal healing.

Recovery

While the procedure is designed to minimize tension on the skin and promote natural healing, it’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the days after surgery. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, while social and professional engagements are typically possible within 2 to 4 weeks. Dr. Davidson and his team provide detailed post-operative care instructions and are available to support you throughout your recovery journey.
