Deep Plane Facelift
What is it?
Deep plane facelift is a specific technique where the deep structures of the face and neck are lifted, remodeled, and reconstructed to reverse the ageing process or improve aesthetic concerns in various areas of the face. Unlike the classic ´skin only´ facelift, through this technique your plastic surgeon can deliver long lasting and natural looking results. Choosing the right surgeon is key since extensive knowledge, experience and aesthetic eye are pre-requisites for great results.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR A Deep plane Facelift?
Deep plane facelift techniques are recommended for those who have loss of muscle tone and definition in their face and neck. Through these techniques your plastic surgeon can correct the position of the cheek soft tissue, sagging of the corner of the mouth, deep nasolabial folds, jowls, definition of the mandible, neck bands and definition.
