What Is A Deep Plane Facelift?

It offers a radical transformation that honors the facial structure of the patient. A deep plane facelift winds back the clock, instead of obscuring their features. It includes targeted contouring of the face that requires a tremendous amount of skill. The Journal of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery describes the deep plane facelift as “the pinnacle of facial rejuvenation surgery.”
How Are They Different From Previous Versions of Facelifts?
The deep plane facelift procedure involves “the complete release of the cheek retaining ligaments” and “this allows for correction of the mid-cheek, resulting in a more meaningful rejuvenation compared to earlier techniques.”
“A deep plane facelift lifts the structure of the face, not just the skin, and this significantly reduces the biological triggers for scarring and hyperpigmentation,” according to Beverly Hills board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daniel Gould, MD, PhD.
Who Is A Candidate For Deep Plane Facelifts?
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery reports that the deep plane facelift is not a one-size-fits-all approach to a glow up. First of all, it requires serious coins. DIffrent surgeons charge different rates, but it requires at least low five figures.

This is not something a post tax return trip to Miami can cover sis. If someone tells you it is beware. The journal says that is “a surgical technique that is not applicable to all types of faces and that must be limited to very precise and more restrictive indications than those previously imagined.”
Do Deep Plane Facelifts Work Differently On Melanin Skin?
Not all skin techniques are a fit for every skintone. We reached out to experts to find out if going deep under the knife could threaten our glow. Learning how to minimize tension ensures better results all around, according to the experts.
“There’s no increase or decreased risk. The key is taking all the tension off by suspending the SMAS so there’s no tension on the skin closure. This will reduce the risk of hypertrophic scars or even keloids,” New York-based plastic surgeon says Dr. Steven J. Pearlman MD, FACS Facial Plastic Surgeon told HelloBeautiful.
Education is key to achieving that, according to Gould.
“Historically, many facial rejuvenation techniques were developed and taught using lighter skin types as a reference point, which led to really outdated assumptions that advanced facial plastic surgery was less suitable for Black patients,” he said in a statement to HelloBeautiful.
“The reality was the limitation wasn’t skin biology, it was surgical education. As more surgeons are trained to understand ethnic facial anatomy, wound healing biology, and culturally appropriate aesthetic goals, deep plane facelifts are becoming not only more accessible, but more thoughtfully executed for patients who have melanated skin.”
Don’t be afraid to ask a potential service provider what they know about working with patients with your skin tone if you’re considering investing in any surgical procedure.
Your face card is worth the extra research.
