What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

Many people may be familiar with the general concept of a facelift, but not as many are aware of what a deep plane facelift specifically entails. A deep plane facelift is a comprehensive surgical technique that addresses the deep, underlying facial tissues located beneath the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) layer.

Compared to the traditional facelift technique—which usually tightens the facial skin with minimal manipulation of the SMAS layer—a deep plane facelift goes deeper under the skin and SMAS layer to allow adjustments of the underlying muscles, fat, and ligaments to correct aging signs. The result is a more natural, refreshed appearance that still looks like you, just smoother and approximately 10 to 15 years younger.

Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift

For those struggling with facial aging signs, a deep plane facelift can be a transformative option, providing remarkable rejuvenation results. Some of the deep plane facelift benefits may include:

  • Smooth, firm, and youthful-looking skin
  • Restored facial volume that looks natural
  • Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity
  • A significant increase in confidence and self-esteem
  • Results that look good for several years to come

Am I a Good Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

If you’re looking for a way to go back in time and look like your younger self, you may be interested in the deep plane facelift procedure. Your candidacy will be fully evaluated during your consultation with Dr. Stevens.

Some of the criteria that may make you a good candidate for a deep plane facelift include:

  • Being in your 40s or older and having aging signs in the mid and lower face
  • Being in good overall health
  • Not smoking or quitting smoking at least six weeks before surgery
  • Having realistic goals for results
  • Wanting to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and jowls

The best way to determine if a deep plane facelift is for you is to have a consultation with Dr. Stevens by calling (310) 556-1003.

How Can I Prepare for My Deep Plane Facelift?

Before your deep plane facelift procedure, Dr. Stevens will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. These preoperative instructions are designed to help you have a safe and smooth procedure. 

Preoperative instructions include:

  • Getting medical tests to evaluate candidacy for the procedure
  • Preparing your space at home (by meal prepping, stacking pillows on your bed, rearranging everyday items in easily accessible locations, etc.) so everything is ready when you return from surgery
  • If applicable, quit smoking at least six weeks before your procedure
  • Stop taking aspirin and other blood-thinning medications, as these can increase bleeding during and after surgery
  • Pick up your prescription medications before your surgery
  • Arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment
  • Follow fasting instructions (typically need to fast for at least eight hours)
  • Arrive at your deep plane facelift appointment with a clean face, free from any makeup

How Is a Deep Plane Facelift Performed?

Each deep plane facelift is tailored to suit the patient’s face and address their goals. However, there are some standard steps that patients can expect.

During your appointment, you’ll be given anesthesia before the surgery begins to make for a more comfortable experience. Dr. Stevens will make marks where the incisions will be created, typically within the hairline and around the ears.

Once Dr. Stevens creates the incisions, he will lift the skin and SMAS layer to address the underlying muscles and ligaments. Dr. Stevens will leave the SMAS layer intact, which will contribute to the natural-looking results. The underlying tissues will be readjusted, salivary glands and fatty structures will be removed, and structural muscles will be tightened.

After all adjustments have been made, Dr. Stevens will close the incisions. Your face will be wrapped in bandages to assist in the healing process.

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery & Aftercare

The first few days after deep plane facelift surgery are typically when patients experience the most discomfort. During this time, they will be recovering from the anesthesia and adjusting to the sensations of swelling and tightness in their face. Even though patients may feel uncomfortable and will need rest, it is essential not to stay in bed all day. We recommend that patients get up a few times a day to take short walks, even just around the house, as this will help promote healthy blood circulation.
During recovery, it is important to sleep with the back of your head in a slightly elevated position to avoid putting pressure on the healing incisions. This elevated sleeping position can be achieved by stacking pillows underneath your head or sleeping in a recliner chair.

Sutures are usually removed during a follow-up appointment, between one to two weeks after your deep plane facelift. Many patients can return to office jobs within one week, and many feel comfortable and ready to participate in social activities one to two weeks after surgery.

Recovery will look different for every patient due to the customized nature of the procedure. Be sure to follow Dr. Stevens’ aftercare instructions to ensure a safe and speedy healing period.
