Deep Plane Facelift

Deep Plane Facelift is a surgical procedure used to reverse the effects of aging or redefine facial contours. Unlike traditional facelift procedures, a deep plane facelift is a more comprehensive approach to restructuring the deeper tissues of the face. This procedure involves addressing deep tissues in the face and typically provides more natural and long-lasting results.

How is the Deep Plane Facelift technique performed? What are the advantages?

Deep Plane Face Lift procedure is generally preferred for patients aged 50 and over. In patients in this age group, sagging and wrinkles on the face become more noticeable. Deep plane face lift is an ideal option to remove sagging tissues on the face, tighten the skin and achieve a younger and fresher appearance.

The deep plane face lift procedure consists of the following steps:

Before the operation, the patient is informed about the details of the surgical process and the necessary tests are conducted. Additionally, smoking patients are recommended to quit smoking before the procedure, as smoking can negatively affect the healing process.

During the operation, the patient is given general anesthesia. An incision is made along the hairline or around the ear, which can later be easily concealed within natural creases. This incision provides access to the deep underlying tissues.

With the deep plane procedure, the superficial tissues are carefully separated to reach the deep layers under the skin. This step is necessary to reposition and stretch the deep tissues in the face. A deep plane facelift causes less damage to the surface skin tissue and therefore the healing process is generally faster.

Tissues are repositioned and tightened to reshape and lift the deeper layers of the face. This step is performed to lift sagging tissues on the face and achieve a more youthful appearance.

After the operation is completed, the incision areas are closed (stitched) in an aesthetic manner. Modern surgical techniques help minimize and conceal stitch marks, so the results look more natural.

Why is Deep Plane Face Lift performed?

Elimination of Sagging and Wrinkles on the Face: With the aging process, sagging and loosening occur in the deep tissues of the face. This procedure aims to achieve a more youthful appearance by removing these sagging and wrinkles.

Redefining Facial Contours: Deep plane face lift redefines facial contours and provides a more distinct and aesthetic appearance. It helps correct sagging, especially in the jaw line and neck area.

Issues to consider after surgery

During the healing process, it is important to fully follow the instructions recommended by the doctor. Monitoring and reporting any swelling and bruising that may occur during the postoperative period is significant and crucial. It is important to protect your face and rest during the wound healing and stitch removal process.

Since deep plane facelift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, patients do not feel pain or discomfort during the procedure. However, there may be some mild discomfort or pain in the post-surgical period, but this can usually be controlled.

In conclusion, Deep Plane Facelift is an effective surgical procedure that provides more natural and long-lasting results by restructuring the deep tissues in the face. However, this operation, like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks and may not be suitable for every patient. When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon and tailored to the patient’s needs, a deep plane facelift is an effective option to reduce signs of aging and achieve a more youthful appearance.
