What A Deep Plane Facelift May Do For Loose Skin

Facial ageing is a natural process that can lead to the development of loose skin, often prompting some individuals to explore options to address this concern. Among the available treatments, a cosmetic surgery technique called the Deep Plane Facelift is known for its approach to address skin ageing-related concerns. 

In this article, Artiste Plastic Surgery provides general information on the Deep Plane Facelift, discussing its approach to supporting facial tissues. If you are considering options to address signs of facial ageing, a consultation with a qualified professional can offer personalised advice and guidance tailored to your unique needs.

Understanding the Deep Plane Facelift Procedure

A Deep Plane Facelift is performed as an in-patient procedure in a fully accredited hospital. Depending on each patient’s unique situation, the procedure typically lasts up to six hours and is performed under general anaesthesia administered by a qualified anaesthetist.

This procedure releases important facial ligaments, lifts the muscle and skin layers in one flap, and repositions the nasolabial folds, jowls, and cheeks to a youthful position.  Incisions of the surgery are placed behind the hairline and around the ear to ensure an inconspicuous scar. As with any other surgical procedure, deep plane facelift carries potential risks and complications. 

Can a Deep Plane Facelift address sagging facial skin?

A Deep Plane Facelift is a technique used to support and reposition facial tissues, aiming to target common concerns associated with the natural ageing process. This approach may potentially help in managing loose skin in areas such as the jowls, neck, and mid-face.

It focuses on repositioning deeper facial layers, which may also assist with features like lower eyelid, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and changes in facial contours. For those exploring options, consulting with your GP and a qualified professional can provide insights to determine if this procedure is suitable for you.
