What is Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift addresses common signs of ageing in the face and neck. It is an advanced surgical technique, offered by only the most experienced Facelift surgeons.  

Deep Plane Face Lifting is the most comprehensive Facelift technique available and results in a contoured jawline, toned skin and an overall more youthful, rejuvenated appearance.  

The results of a Deep Plane Facelift are longer-lasting and more natural than other techniques such as Mini or Micro Facelift, and as a result this technique is well suited to cases of advanced facial ageing among older patients. 

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift?

• Youthful, rejuvenated appearance  
• Most comprehensive, long lasting results
• Sharper jawline
• Toned skin
• Reduced lines and wrinkles such as Marionette Lines and Smoker's Lines
• Natural results with less skin tension vs. other Facelift techniques
• Improved confidence and quality of life
• Bespoke procedure, targeting your personal concerns

Why Do People Have Deep Plane Facelift?

Patients opt to have a Deep Plane Facelift because it is the most comprehensive Facelift procedure with the most comprehensive long-lasting and natural results. For patients who are concerned about advanced ageing issues such as:

• A softening jawline (also known as jowls) 
• Lines and wrinkles around the neck, mouth and nose
• Sagging skin around the cheeks

Deep Plane Face Lifting is an effective and comprehensive surgical procedure which results in the face and neck looking more youthful, smoother skin and a sharper jawline. 
 

Who Is Suitable For Deep Plane Facelift?

Deep Plane Facelift is typically suited to patients:

• Who are in their 50s or 60s and are experiencing advanced signs of ageing, especially around the cheeks, jawline and neck
• Looking for significant improvement, but with natural results
• With overall good physical and mental health 

The Cost of Deep Plane Facelift

How Does a Deep Plane Facelift Differ From Other Techniques?

The tissues of the face and neck are made up of a number of layers. Whereas other Facelift techniques focus primarily on tightening the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift tightens the connective tissue known as the SMAS and also releases the underlying ligaments connecting the deeper tissues to the skin.

By releasing the ligaments in the deeper tissues of the face and neck, the surgeon is able to achieve more comprehensive results, as they are able to move the muscles and skin further than is possible in other Facelift procedures. Manipulating these ligaments also prevents the skin from looking overly stretched and unnatural – an unfavourable trait, sometimes associated with Facelift surgery.

As Deep Plane Facelift is a more invasive procedure than some other techniques, the incisions may be more extensive. Your surgeon will place their incisions around the ears, hairline, and occasionally extending into the scalp. As this technique is only performed by the most experienced surgeons, they will ensure the incisions are concealed in discrete areas where once they are healed, they will be as invisible as possible. 

What Other Procedures Can Deep Plane Facelift Be Combined With?

Deep Plane Face Lifting can be carried out as a standalone surgery, but is often combined with other procedures to enhance the final result. Popular procedures that are performed alongside Deep Plane Facelift include: 

• Neck Lift – As a Deep Plane Facelift targets the lower face, a Neck Lift is a complimentary procedure which tightens and lifts the neck to give a balanced result 
• Blepharoplasty – For patients who are concerned about having sagging skin around their eye area, a Blepharoplasty will lift and smooth the eye area, giving a more youthful and open appearance 
• Brow Lift – A Brow Lift targets concerns specifically around the upper face, which combines effectively with the Deep Plane Facelift’s lower face and neck approach 
• Fat Transfer – The natural ageing process leads to a loss of volume in the skin. Fat Transfer to the face restores this volume, giving lift and fullness to the skin. The restorative properties of the fat can also be used to tackle concerns such as wrinkles and skin tone
