How is Deep Plane Facelift different from a regular facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift is one of the techniques available for those considering facelift surgery. This approach differs from other facelift methods, and understanding these differences can help guide your decision. In this blog, we provide general information about the procedure and how it is different from other techniques.

For personalised advice, we encourage you to consult with our experienced team to explore the most appropriate options for your goals.

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift is a surgical technique designed to address changes in the face associated with ageing. Unlike traditional facelift methods that focus primarily on tightening the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper layers of facial tissue. 

This technique aims to reposition the underlying muscles and support structures of the face, rather than only addressing surface-level concerns.

This approach is often considered by individuals looking to address concerns such as loose skin and volume loss. It is important to note that the suitability of this technique depends on individual factors, including anatomy, goals, and overall health. 

A consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is essential to discuss your unique circumstances and determine the most appropriate treatment options for you.

How is Deep Plane different from other facelift procedures? 

Focus on Deep Tissue Layers: Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily address the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper layers of the face, including muscles and connective tissue. This approach works to reposition underlying structures.

Minimising Surface Tension: By adjusting deeper tissues rather than pulling the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift may help reduce the risk of a “tight” or overly stretched appearance.

Individualised Approach: The Deep Plane Facelift is tailored to the individual’s unique facial anatomy and goals. A qualified healthcare professional will assess which technique aligns best with your needs during a personalised consultation.

All surgical procedures carry potential risks and considerations, which should be carefully assessed in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to obtain a referral from your GP and undergo a comprehensive assessment, including screening for BDD, to ensure the procedure is appropriate for your individual needs and circumstances.
