Deep Plane Facelift in Beverly Hills
As one of the best facelift surgeons in Beverly Hills, Dr. Lee offers deep plane facelift to reposition sagging facial tissue without distorting your features. It effectively improves jawline contour, sagging face and neck tissue, and leaves you looking natural and refreshed.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
Deep plane facelift refers to the layer of the facial tissue that is being repositioned. Rather than lifting the skin only, the deep plane facelift addresses a sandwich of facial tissue, consisting of the skin, fat, and muscle, and repositions all of these tissues as a unit to their original position. Because the deep plane facelift lifts only under the muscle layer and repositions multiple layers of sagging tissue, it avoids the problems of an overly tight and unnatural result.
Deep Plane Facelift Results
This patient of Dr. Michelle Lee had a deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills. At three months, you can see the facelift had restored a youthful and natural appearance by:
- Tightening deep facial tissues
- Smoothing prominent folds
- Removing excess sagging skin
- Lifting and firming her face, cheeks, and neck
How is a Deep Plane Facelift different from a SMAS facelift?
An SMAS facelift separates the skin from the underlying muscle and fascia and then repositions the SMAS layers, usually with sutures. Other differences include the following:
- A deep plane facelift keeps the skin connected to the deeper muscle and soft tissue to avoid over-tightening
- The deep plane facelift targets deeper facial muscles and releases tethering ligaments, especially in the midface region, providing longer-lasting and natural results
- It also enhances the cheekbones and reduces tension on the skin, resulting in barely visible scars
- The deep plane facelift yields a longer-lasting and natural result
Who is an Ideal Deep Plane Facelift Candidate?
The decision to get a facelift is personal and depends on your needs and aesthetic goals. Here’s what else you need to know:
- Getting a facelift at a younger age allows for more time to enjoy the results and generally carries fewer health risks
- Younger skin is more elastic, leading to natural and satisfying results, but rejuvenation at a later age can also be satisfying
- Ideal candidates seek significant facial rejuvenation and dramatic improvement
- Recommended for improving jaw and neck regions with prominent lines, creases and folds, significant skin laxity, and lost cheek and facial volume
- Good surgical candidates are in good physical health, non-smokers, and free from significant medical conditions
- Good candidates have suitable skin elasticity, sound facial bone structure, and adequate blood pressure control
Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
During a deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills, Dr. Lee carefully separates the deeper facial tissues from the underlying muscles to access and reposition them. Her technique more thoroughly corrects facial sagging and drooping, especially in the midface and jowl areas. The incisions made during the procedure are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring while highlighting the face's natural contours.
Deep Plane Facelift Results and Recovery
Recovery
Recovery from facial rejuvenation surgery is often easier than expected. Minor to moderate discomfort in the first few days and severe pain are rare. You should take two weeks off from work and avoid strenuous activity for six weeks.
During the initial three-week recovery period, you may experience bruising, swelling, redness, and facial discomfort. Dr. Lee and the PERK plastic surgery team will provide a personalized recovery plan, and most patients will return to their routines within three weeks.
