performing a deep plane facelift.
A deep plane facelift targets structures below the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System), also known as the ‘deep plane’. This technique involves careful dissection and release of ligaments and tissue planes to allow repositioning of muscle, fat, and skin to lift the soft tissue. Because there is no tension on the skin, a deep plane facelift provides a more natural appearance than other methods that only lift skin which can create a tight and unnatural appearance.
The deep plane approach is considered one of the most effective ways to lift and rejuvenate the mid- and lower-face, nasolabial folds and jowls. It is common for a facelift to be performed with a neck lift for a harmonious result.
