What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

Not all facelifts are alike. As surgical techniques and technology evolve, facelift procedures become more advanced. A deep plane facelift procedure can transform your face and make you look years younger. Deep plane facelifts offer a more in-depth approach to addressing common signs of aging, and they can provide natural results that youโ€™ll be proud to show off. Read on to learn more about our incredible deep plane facelift procedure and how our team at Maloney Plastic Surgery can help you decide if it’s right for your skincare goals.

What Is A Deep Plane Facelift?

Traditional face lifts generally focus on one part of the face, or just the neck and jawline. While patients have seen great results from conventional face lifts, these procedures are limited in their scope. With a deep plane facelift, we use a bilaminate approach to rejuvenate the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face. If youโ€™re looking for a powerful procedure that can give you the total transformation youโ€™ve been dreaming of, the deep plane facelift at Maloney Plastic Surgery might be the perfect solution.

What Issues Can the Deep Plane Facelift Address?

When you come in for your consultation with Dr. Maloney, he will customize your procedure to help you achieve your unique goals. While there are many issues that our deep plane facelift can address, you could be a good candidate for the procedure if you are looking to fix skin concerns such as:

  • Jawline jowls
  • Midface atrophy
  • Laxity and loose skin
  • Deep folds and lines around the nose and mouth
  • Sagging brow areas
  • Deep tear lines/hollowing under the eyes

The Results of A Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift can enhance the lower region of the face by tightening the platysma bands, refining the deeper neck structures, and accentuating the jawline. The middle third of the face can include techniques to release the facial retaining ligament, which gives Dr. Maloney more freedom to manipulate the facial muscles and give you better, more natural results. As for the upper third of your face, the procedure involves a skin-only facelift to gently elevate and glide the upper facial region. This ensures your brow area gets the lift it needs to refresh your appearance.

The Deep Plane Facelift Procedure

Designed with patient comfort in mind, a deep plane facelift is typically carried out in our office under local anesthesia. This choice of anesthesia eliminates common side effects like nausea, vomiting, and the so-called โ€œanesthesia hangoverโ€. Not only does this mean a smoother procedure, but it also means a shorter recovery time. Youโ€™ll be able to return to your regular activities in a relatively short period. You get minimum downtime, with maximum results.
