What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to address advanced signs of facial aging by targeting the deeper layers of facial tissues. Unlike traditional facelifts, which primarily focus on tightening the skin, a deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the underlying muscles and connective tissues, including the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). This approach provides more comprehensive and long-lasting results by restoring the face’s natural contours, reducing sagging, and improving overall facial harmony. The deep plane technique offers a more youthful, refreshed appearance with a minimized risk of visible scarring and more natural-looking results.

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery & Results

You should expect a recovery period after your deep plane facelift at Fulcrum Aesthetics, which is integral to achieving your desired results. Initially, you might experience typical swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which will gradually subside over the first few weeks. Following our post-operative care instructions, including resting with your head elevated, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping up with prescribed medications, is essential to optimal recovery and results.

As you heal, the transformation becomes increasingly noticeable. Early results start to show as swelling diminishes and your facial contours begin to emerge. Full results are typically visible within 2-3 months, revealing a naturally rejuvenated appearance with lifted and tightened facial features. The deep plane facelift provides long-lasting effects, with many patients enjoying their refreshed look for years. Regular follow-up appointments will ensure your recovery is on track and your results meet your expectations.
