The goal of a Deep Plane Facelift is to give the aging face a more young and rested appearance. This activity examines the assessment and management of patients receiving a deep plane facelift.

Rather than tugging the skin layer, which may produce a tight look, the deep plane facelift relaxes the muscle layer beneath the skin and allows it to be moved without tension, creating a more natural-appearing outcome.

The skin is elevated in typical facelifting, but the underlying SMAS is not lifted or supported, resulting in an unnatural tight stretched aspect to the face. Although it is a more complicated and technically more difficult procedure, however, the Deep Plane technique, which lifts the skin and muscle (SMAS) together as one unit and repositions all deep facial musculature, is a more efficient and convenient procedure.

Deep Plane Facelifts are very successful in the midface, particularly in the nasolabial folds. This technique’s invasiveness generates remarkable and long-lasting benefits but at the cost of a long recovery period and a higher chance of adverse effects. A deep plane facelift restores a more youthful appearance and rejuvenates the entire face.

What Are The Pros And Cons Of Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a potent technique for rejuvenating the aged midface and giving it a more young and refreshed appearance. Proper patient evaluation and execution of a detailed, anatomic-based treatment plan can result in safe, dependable, and satisfying results when doing a deep plane facelift.

Deep Plane Facelift has some advantages and disadvantages compared to other alternatives of face adjustment procedures. Below, we will be listing the pros and cons of the procedure respectively:

Pros:

  • The procedure doesn’t leave any feelings of stiffness, tension, or stretching.
  • The procedure allows you to have a younger looking face.
  • In a modest but noticeable way, the midface (which includes the cheekbone and cheek) is enhanced.
  • The results last for a long period.

A deep plane facelift produces considerable improvements to the face and neck that last 10 to 15 years. As with any cosmetic treatment, the effects of a facelift will change over time as a result of age, use, gravity, and sun exposure.

Cons:

Deep Plane Facelift may cause some complications after the surgical process. We will be listing the most common ones of these complications below:

  • Numbness
  • Tightness
  • Bruising
  • Swelling
  • Tingling
  • Necrosis
  • Hair Loss
  • Scarring
  • Facial Nerve Damage
  • Asymmetry

It is important to know that Deep Plane Facelift is not a very dangerous operation when considered from an overall perspective. Doing necessary care for your face will almost zero the chances of a possible complication.

Deep Plane Facelift: Cost, Surgery And Recovery

How Much Does A Deep Plane Facelift Cost?

A Deep Plane Facelift is a considerably more expensive operation when compared to other alternatives. However, the permanence of the results makes the procedure worth every penny spent. A Deep Plane Facelift operation is likely to cost you between £4500 to £5200 including the pre-operative procedures and necessary expenses. Since the operation hasn’t reached its peak of popularity yet, the scarcity of surgeons that are able to carry out the operation makes it a more expensive operation.

How Long Does A Deep Plane Facelift Take?

The Deep Plane Facelift procedure usually takes between 2 and 4 hours in general. The length of the surgery may differ due to some factors such as the surgeon’s preferences and the patient’s requests. It’s a precise procedure that takes a skilled surgeon some time to execute. It might take up to 5 hours if other treatments are performed, such as eyelid rejuvenation or brow realignment.

The Deep Plane Facelift is usually carried out under general anesthesia.

What Is The Recovery Process Of Deep Plane Facelift Like?

A Deep Plane Facelift procedure is relatively a smoother operation, which means the recovery process is also smoother compared to other alternatives of the operation. The full recovery may take up to 8 weeks, while the patient is usually able to carry on their daily life after 10 to 15 days. The pain is considerably less intense compared to other face-related operations. The risk of any possible complication is pretty low when taken care of the surgical area properly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Plane Facelift

  • Is Deep Plane Facelift Safe?

Yes. When conducted by a qualified surgeon, the danger is quite minimal, just like any other operation.

At Clinic Excellent, our surgeons are top-notch experienced professionals that make sure that the procedure is carried out in a way that is the safest possible.

  • Is Deep Plane Facelift Painful?

No. In the first week, patients may feel tightness, but they do not experience discomfort. Even though pain medication is prescribed on an as-needed basis, the vast majority of patients don’t feel the need to take it.

  • How Long Will I Be Wearing Compression Bandages After The Surgery?

A headband is worn only for the first 24 hours. After it is removed, the patient is given a lighter elastic (ACE) bandage to wear as needed for support and comfort for the rest of the week.

  • Does Deep Plane Facelift Result In More Scarring?

No. Because there is no stress on the skin, scars become smaller and less noticeable. Our skilled surgeons spend a significant amount of time meticulously sealing wounds so that scars are nearly undetectable. In fact, even with their hair pulled back, most patients are unable to notice their scars afterward.

  • Can Deep Plane Facelift Be Carried Out With Other Procedures?

A neck lift is often included in a facelift procedure. In the lower face and neck, the outcome is stunning. Most patients choose additional treatments such as eyelid lifts, brow repositioning, and lip lifts to address other face regions impacted by the aging process, such as the eyes, brows, and lips.

  • How Younger Will I Look After The Procedure

Our patients provide us feedbacks that emphasize that they are told they look at least ten years younger by their friends and family.

However, the results greatly depend on the surgeon’s experience and skills. So, undertaking the procedure by an inexperienced and incapable surgeon may also result in great frustration.
