How long do facelift results last

One of the important benefits of deep plane facelift when compared to traditional skin facelift is the longevity of the results.

Our skin has a property called ´creep´, which means that it stretches when subjected to a force. This is why facelift surgeries that focus on lifting and removing the excess skin do not last long (months to few years).

With deep plane facelift, the deep facial structures that are responsible for the anatomic changes associated with facial aging are reconstructed. The strength of deep plane facelift does not rely on the tension in the skin but the recreation of a youthful underlying anatomy, and this is why results can last for decades.

No matter what type of facelift you choose, the aging process does not stop, so one way to look at deep plane facelift is like resetting the clock and sometimes create aesthetic improvements that the patient never had, even when they were young.
