Deep plane technique

Facelift

If your face looks tired or heavy but the fear of ending up 'tight' has held you back, the deep plane facelift takes a different route: it moves the tissue that has descended back into place rather than tightening the skin. That's why it rests the face without changing who you are.

Is this for you?

  • You've noticed sagging in the cheeks, the folds or the neck
  • The fear of looking tight or overdone has held you back
  • You'd rather treat the cause than the surface
  • You want a recovery someone actually walks you through

What it includes

  • Deep plane facelift
  • Repositioning of the deep tissues
  • Natural result, never tight
  • Mid-face and neck

The approach

Rather than tightening skin, the deep plane releases and repositions the deeper layers of the face. That's why it rests the face and why it lasts. The plan is built around your anatomy.

Common questions

Does it actually look natural?

That's the entire point of the technique. The deep plane moves tissue back to where it used to sit instead of stretching skin, which is what avoids the tight, operated look and simply rests your expression.

When can I get back to normal life?

Swelling and bruising peak in the first week or two. Most people are back out and about at around two to three weeks, and the result finishes settling over the following months.
