As we age, it’s common to notice volume loss in the face. This is due to weakened muscles which leads to loose, lax skin. That’s where a facelift comes in! Facelift procedures help to tighten loose skin and muscle around the face and neck. There are many different types of facelift procedures, ranging from less invasive, “mini” lifts to more advanced techniques, like the Deep Plane Facelift! While non-surgical cosmetic treatments like fillers, radio-frequency and thread lifts can help combat this, sometimes a more direct or invasive approach is necessary.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
We know that face and neck lifts focus on tightening skin and muscles to rejuvenate and rewind the aging process. In a deep plane facelift, the muscles are raised and repositioned to give the most natural results and tighten the skin. This procedure takes place beneath the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layer of muscles, making it more intense than a traditional facelift surgery. In traditional facelifts, the SMAS is tightened and repositioned, but a deep plane facelift works at and below this layer. Once the muscles are adjusted properly, the skin can be re-draped, which makes the final look more natural and avoids the stereotypical “too-tight” appearance.
How is it Performed?
We offer this procedure with local anesthesia (oral sedation) or asleep (IV sedation). At BeautyFix Plastic Surgery, we specialize in performing deep plane facelifts operating under local anesthesia. This option has many benefits for the patient, including a faster recovery, less swelling, and less need for medication. There are very few surgeons in the country who offer an awake deep plane facelift, which makes our practice unique. With our deep plane facelift, you’ll maximize your results and minimize downtime and pain.

Am I a Candidate for Deep Plane Facelift?
If your skin and aging concerns are too advanced for minimally-invasive treatments such as fillers or surface level skin treatments, a deep plane facelift may be for you. While the purpose of all facelifts, including deep plane facelifts, is to address moderate to severe aging signs, there is no age limit for patients who wish to undergo the procedure. In fact, this surgery can sometimes be used as a preventative procedure to ease the aging process.
Some indications for a deep plane facelift are:
-Jowling or sagging of the mouth and jawline, which can create a “double-chin” appearance
-Sunken, hollow or sagging cheeks
-Deep-set (static) wrinkles and facial lines, including the marionette lines (from the mouth to the chin) and/or nasolabial folds (from the nose to the mouth)
