Deep Plane Facelift & Neck Lift

What is a deep plane facelift?

A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation surgery. It targets loose skin, deep wrinkles, and volume loss — especially in the mid-face and jawline.

Unlike traditional facelifts that only lift the skin, this technique works on deeper layers of muscle and fat.

✅ Longer-lasting results
✅ Natural-looking lift
✅ Ideal for more advanced signs of aging

This makes it one of the most effective surgical options for achieving a refreshed and youthful appearance.

Deep Plane Facelift: What Makes It Different?

A deep plane facelift is one of the most advanced facial rejuvenation procedures available. Here’s how it compares to a traditional facelift, and what you can expect from surgery to recovery:

1️⃣ Depth of correction

Regular facelifts lift the skin and the SMAS (superficial muscular layer).
Deep plane facelifts go beneath the SMAS, repositioning deeper facial structures, including fat pads and fascia.
✅ This leads to a more natural and longer-lasting lift.

2️⃣ Targeted areas

While both techniques address signs of aging, the deep plane facelift is especially effective for:

• Sagging cheeks

• Jowls

• Midface volume loss

3️⃣ Longer-lasting results

Because deeper structures are repositioned (not just pulled), results often look more natural and can last 10 years or more.

4️⃣ Performed under general anesthesia

This surgery is typically done under general anesthesia for maximum comfort and safety.

5️⃣ Strategic incisions

Small incisions are hidden in natural creases:

• Along the hairline (temples)

• Around the ears

• Sometimes extending into the lower scalp
  ✅ These allow access to deep tissues without visible scarring.

6️⃣ Deep tissue repositioning

The surgeon carefully lifts and repositions the SMAS layer, fat pads, and deeper tissues.
This restores volume and contours — especially in the midface and jawline.

7️⃣ Skin redraping and closure

After lifting the deep layers, excess skin is gently redraped and trimmed.
The incisions are closed with fine sutures for a clean, discreet finish.

🕒 Recovery

Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal in the first days. Most people feel ready to return to normal activities within 2 weeks.

👀 Results

Early improvement is visible right away, but final results develop gradually as swelling fades.
✅ Most patients enjoy youthful, long-lasting results for 10 years or more.

Aftercare: What You Need to Know

✅ Follow instructions
Stick to your surgeon’s guidelines for medication, wound care, and activity limits.

✅ Avoid heavy activity
No intense workouts or lifting for at least 2–3 weeks to reduce risk of complications.

✅ Keep incisions clean
Clean the area as directed to avoid infection and support proper healing.

✅ Attend follow-ups
Check-ins help monitor your progress and catch any concerns early.

✅ Be patient
Swelling fades slowly, and final results appear over several weeks.

In Conclusion

A deep plane facelift is a powerful option for long-lasting facial rejuvenation — especially for those with visible aging in the face and neck.

✅ It delivers natural-looking results with deeper correction and longer-lasting effects.

Ready to Begin?

Firstly, do your homework! Check out Peru’s medical college website (Colegio Medico del Peru) and see if the doctor really has a RNE (National Registry of Specialist) license. Many doctors only have a CMP license, but this is not enough for invasive, specialist procedures.

Finally, talk to us. Make contact and have an in-depth conversation is a good starting point. This is important because you get a feel for the type of clinic we are and the service you can expect to receive.
