 FAQs

  • Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily focus on tightening the skin, a deep plane facelift involves working beneath the SMAS layer, releasing ligaments that tether tissues to underlying bone. 

  • Releasing key ligaments allows for more natural movement and avoids the “pulled” look often associated with traditional facelifts. 

  • The SMAS layer, along with the skin, is lifted and repositioned, providing a more significant lift and addressing sagging in the midface and lower face. 

  • By releasing ligaments and repositioning fat pads, deep plane facelifts can create a more defined and youthful cheek contour. 

  • The more thorough lift and repositioning of tissues is believed to result in longer-lasting rejuvenation compared to traditional facelifts.
