Age shows itself in many different ways. One of the most noticeable and prominent parts of the body that indicates aging is the face. Sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines are all extremely common signs of aging. The good news is that there are all sorts of facial procedures that can reverse the hands of time, including the deep plane facelift.
Here’s what you need to know about this face surgery procedure and how it can not only take years off your face, but boost your confidence.
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
There are many different types of facelifts that can be performed. But, if you’re looking for a facelift that goes beyond pulling and tightening the skin, a deep plane facelift may be the procedure you need.
A deep plane facelift improves many areas of the face, including:
• Hanging jowls
• Sagging cheeks
• Deep nasolabial folds
While a deep plane facelift improves the same areas that a traditional facelift addresses, the results can be more effective. A deep plane facelift focuses on the movement of muscle and fat layers in the face, whereas a traditional facelift only addresses skin pull and removal. Tissues and ligaments are repositioned versus just pulled to achieve a tight look.
Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift
Deep plane facelift surgery offers a host of benefits. One of the biggest benefits of this form of face surgery is that the results look entirely natural. Some patients who undergo traditional facelifts often look “operated on.” This means that the skin looks too tight and taut.
But with a deep plane facelift, ligaments are tethered in order to achieve tension-free movement. This causes a natural lift throughout the face and neck area. Patients who undergo this procedure experience a very natural look. Because correction happens beneath the skin, the results don’t look or feel tight. Instead, patients can enjoy very natural results.
Not only will patients enjoy a more youthful-looking face after a deep plane facelift, patients are also more likely to experience results that last much longer. The combination of subtle and lasting results is a win-win for most patients seeking to look and feel younger.
Another benefit of this facial surgical procedure is that there’s less trauma to the skin. With a deep plane facelift, layers of the skin, facial tissue, and muscle are often separated and pulled in different directions. Reduced trauma to the skin means a quicker, less painful healing process.
Last but not least, a deep plane facelift can address areas of the face that a traditional facelift isn’t able to improve. With this plastic surgery, patients will notice improvement in their mid-face, which is often only achieved by using fillers or fat grafting.
