What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical procedure that goes beyond a traditional facelift. It targets not only the surface skin but also the deeper facial tissues, muscles, and ligaments. This comprehensive approach aims to restore the deep structures of the face to their more youthful positions, resulting in a more naturally rejuvenated appearance and dramatic transformation. Unlike conventional facelifts, the deep plane technique provides long-lasting and natural-looking results, avoiding the "pulled" appearance often associated with facelifts.

Is a Deep Plane Facelift Right for Me?

An ideal candidate for a deep plane facelift is typically someone who desires comprehensive facial rejuvenation that goes beyond the surface. If you've noticed significant sagging, aging-related changes, or a loss of youthful facial contours, this procedure may be the perfect fit. Whether you're concerned about visible signs of aging or seek a more enduring transformation, the deep plane facelift can provide natural-looking and long-lasting results. During your consultation, Dr. Micallef can help determine if this advanced technique aligns with your unique goals and facial anatomy.

The Deep Plane Facelift Process

Your deep plane facelift journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz. During this initial meeting, you'll have the opportunity to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations for the procedure. Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz will carefully assess your facial anatomy and unique needs to determine if the deep plane facelift is the right choice for you.

Once you've made the decision to move forward, Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure by using anesthesia, allowing you to comfortably sleep during the surgery itself. Small, discreet incisions will be strategically made near your hairline and around your ears to minimize visible scarring.

The deep plane facelift's magic begins as Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz gently lifts and repositions the deep facial tissues, correcting sagging and restoring youthful contours. If needed, excess skin is also removed. The incisions are meticulously closed with sutures, leaving you with a smoother, firmer, and naturally rejuvenated appearance.

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery

After your deep plane facelift with Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz, you should anticipate a period of healing and transformation. While individual experiences vary, you can generally expect some downtime, typically about a week, during which you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising. During this time, it's advisable to avoid strenuous physical activities, heavy lifting, and any activities that may put strain on the facial area. Dr. Micallef or Dr. Ortiz and our caring team will provide specific post-operative instructions to help you heal optimally and enjoy the best possible results.

While immediate results will be noticeable, the full benefits of your deep plane facelift will emerge gradually over the coming months as any residual swelling subsides and your facial tissues settle into their new positions. Rest assured that our team will provide comprehensive guidance and support to help you achieve the long-lasting, natural-looking results you desire.
