A deep plane facelift is a comprehensive aesthetic surgical procedure that effectively addresses sagging, wrinkles, and volume loss by targeting the deeper tissues of the face. This technique preserves the natural contours of the face while providing a younger, more dynamic, and longer-lasting appearance. Because it focuses on deeper layers compared to traditional methods, the results are more natural and enduring.
A deep plane facelift is a comprehensive and effective aesthetic surgical technique that targets not only the skin layer but also the underlying muscles and connective tissues. Aging, genetics, and the effects of gravity can lead to sagging, wrinkles, and volume loss, especially in the mid and lower face. The deep plane facelift reshapes the foundational structure of the face to restore a youthful and natural appearance. This method is ideal for individuals with significant sagging who are seeking long-lasting results.
The deep plane facelift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 4 to 6 hours. In this procedure, the surgeon lifts and repositions sagging tissues in the mid and lower face by accessing the deeper muscle and connective tissue layers. This repositioning restores the face’s natural contours and creates a more youthful look.
Incisions are usually made around the ears and extended along the hairline, allowing access to the deeper layers. The surgeon tightens sagging muscles and connective tissues, removes excess skin, and reshapes facial contours. The goal is to achieve an aesthetically pleasing result while preserving the face’s natural expressions. Once the surgery is completed, the incisions are carefully closed, and the area is bandaged.
Compared to traditional facelift techniques, the deep plane approach provides more comprehensive intervention and longer-lasting outcomes while avoiding an overdone appearance.

Deep plane facelift techniques can vary depending on the patient’s facial structure and aesthetic needs. Common types include:
A comprehensive procedure addressing sagging and wrinkles in the lower, mid, and upper face.
Focuses on a specific area of the face to achieve a more subtle and natural enhancement. Often ideal for those with lower face sagging.

The deep plane facelift is suitable for individuals with noticeable facial sagging and wrinkles. Ideal candidates are those in good general health with realistic expectations about the surgical process and outcomes.
Although commonly performed on individuals aged 40 and older, it may also be appropriate for younger patients experiencing premature aging due to genetics or rapid weight loss. This procedure offers a highly effective solution for those looking to achieve a youthful and natural appearance.
There are several important considerations before undergoing a deep plane facelift. Proper preparation enhances surgical success and eases the recovery process.
Day-of-Surgery Preparation: Wear comfortable clothing and avoid makeup on the day of the procedure. Also, follow your doctor’s instructions regarding fasting.
The cost of a deep plane facelift can vary depending on several factors, including the clinic or hospital where the procedure is performed, the surgeon’s expertise, the techniques used, and the extent of the procedure. Additional treatments such as neck or brow lifts can increase the total cost.
Other expenses, such as medications, dressings, and follow-up appointments, should also be considered. For an accurate cost estimate, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential. In addition to pricing, the surgeon’s experience and the reputation of the clinic should be key considerations—remember, quality and safety are just as important as cost.
