Benefits of Deep Plane Facelift Surgery to Turn Back Time

A deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique that rejuvenates the face by repositioning deeper facial tissues, providing more dramatic and long-lasting results compared to traditional facelifts. This procedure addresses sagging skin, deep wrinkles, and other signs of aging, restoring a youthful appearance with natural-looking results.

Enhanced Facial Contours

Address signs of aging in the cheeks, jowls, and neck for smoother, firmer skin and improved facial contours, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Long-Lasting Results

Deep plane facelifts provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results compared to traditional facelifts, ensuring a more radiant look for years to come.

Natural-Looking Appearance

Our expert surgeons are skilled in providing natural-looking results that turn back the clock on your facial features without giving you an "overdone" look.

What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

The term "deep plane facelift" refers to the layer of facial tissue being repositioned. Unlike traditional facelifts that primarily lift the skin, the deep plane facelift targets a sandwich of facial tissues—skin, fat, and muscle—and moves them together as a single unit back to their original position. By lifting under the muscle layer and repositioning multiple layers of sagging tissue, the deep plane facelift avoids the issues associated with overly tight and unnatural results.

You absolutely can’t go wrong partnering with Mark Glasgold for your Deep Plane Facelift.

A.E.B.

I’ve gone to doctors in New Jersey all the way to Florida, and none of them offered the natural, refreshed look that I wanted. I just wanted to spruce up how I appeared, not stretch my skin to look ten years younger. I have waited a while to find the perfect surgeon, and it paid off. I am beyond happy with my results. I absolutely recommend Dr. Glasgold for anyone looking to refresh their look.

The Deep Plane Facelift Procedure Explained

A traditional SMAS facelift typically involves separating the skin from the underlying muscle and fascia and then repositioning the SMAS layers, often using sutures. In contrast, a deep plane facelift keeps the skin connected to the deeper muscle and soft tissue, preventing excessive skin tightening. The deep plane facelift releases the ligaments that anchor the face and targets deeper facial muscles, particularly in the midface region, going beyond the SMAS layer. This technique not only lifts the entire SMAS complex but also enhances the cheekbones. Repositioning the deeper muscles reduces skin tension, resulting in minimal scarring. Overall, the deep plane facelift provides longer-lasting and more natural-looking results than a traditional SMAS facelift.

With a commitment to individualized care, Dr. Glasgold performs only one surgery per day, allowing for complete focus on each patient. This approach has led to improvements such as eliminating drains and dressings and performing surgery under twilight anesthesia, enhancing safety and comfort for patients.

Recovering From a Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift is renowned for its ability to target deeper tissues and muscles, providing practical and long-lasting results for up to fifteen years. These results are noticeable immediately after surgery. Dr. Robert Glasgold and Dr. Mark Glasgold will tailor a recovery plan to optimize your healing; however, it is recommended to take a couple of weeks off work.

Patients undergoing facial rejuvenation often find that their recovery is smoother than expected. While some may experience minor to moderate discomfort in the first few days post-op, severe pain is uncommon. The Glasgold surgeons emphasize quick mobilization after surgery, enabling patients to return to their normal lives as soon as possible.
