Reveal a refreshed, youthful appearance with the deep plane facelift at Maan Plastic Surgery in Los Gatos, CA. By lifting and repositioning deeper layers, it addresses sagging skin, deep folds, and loss of facial volume, enhancing your unique beauty. Dr. Z employs a refined hybrid approach to the deep plane facelift, maximizing its benefits while minimizing the associated risks.
Achieve taut facial skin without looking artificial
A deep plane facelift rejuvenates the face by addressing deeper layers of tissue. Unlike traditional facelifts, which focus on the skin, this approach repositions the underlying muscles and fat to restore natural facial contours and smooth out sagging skin and deep folds. Ideal for individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation, the deep plane facelift provides long-lasting results with a natural, youthful appearance. By targeting the foundational structures of your skin, it enhances definition and volume without creating an overly tight or artificial look.
Deep plane facelift corrects:
- Sagging skin along the cheeks and jawline
- Deep folds around the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds)
- Drooping corners of the mouth
- Loss of definition in the jawline and neck
- Midface sagging, including flattened cheeks
- Volume displacement in deeper facial tissues
- Signs of aging that cannot be addressed with skin tightening alone
Your deep plane facelift session
Your deep plane facelift with Dr. Z begins with a thorough consultation to understand your goals and assess your facial anatomy. On the day of your procedure, you’ll be placed under general anesthesia for a comfortable experience. Dr. Z makes precise incisions, typically hidden around the natural contours of the ears and hairline, to access the deeper layers of facial tissue. Unlike traditional facelifts that only address the skin, this technique involves selectively releasing and repositioning the facial muscles, fat, and ligaments to restore youthful contours.
Dr. Z’s unique modified approach combines the benefits of a deep plane facelift with special techniques to minimize risks and optimize recovery. By selectively targeting specific areas, such as the midface and jawline, he achieves a balanced and natural outcome tailored to your facial structure. Once the tissues are lifted and repositioned, the incisions are meticulously closed to ensure seamless healing and subtle, elegant results.
Your journey to recovery: side effects & downtime
After your deep plane facelift, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and a feeling of tightness in the treated areas—this is a normal part of the process. Dr. Z will provide detailed instructions to manage these side effects, including proper wound care, recommended sleeping positions, and when to apply cold compresses to reduce swelling. Mild discomfort is common during the first few days, but it can be effectively managed with prescribed medications.
Any visible signs of the procedure, like bruising, typically fade within two weeks. Most patients take about two to three weeks off from work and social activities to focus on their recovery. During this time, you’ll gradually notice the swelling subside and your refreshed contours emerge. However, the final results will appear gradually over 6 months or longer. Dr. Z will schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing.
