Facelift surgery, or rhytidectomy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to address signs of aging in the face and neck. It removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissue, and smooths wrinkles, creating a more youthful, refreshed appearance. The surgery can target sagging skin, loss of muscle tone, and deep wrinkles, rejuvenating facial contours.
The deep plane facelift is an advanced technique that focuses on lifting the deeper layers of the face, including the muscle and connective tissue, rather than just tightening the skin. This method provides longer-lasting results and creates a more natural appearance by addressing the root causes of sagging. It restores volume and definition to the face and neck.
Deep plane facelifts are ideal for patients with more significant signs of aging, as the procedure offers more comprehensive rejuvenation. Recovery time varies, but most patients experience a smoother, more youthful appearance for many years. This technique is highly effective in achieving natural, subtle results while avoiding the tight, overdone look that can occur with traditional facelifts.
