A Deep Plane Facelift is an advanced facial plastic surgery technique designed to address the complex layers of facial aging in a fundamentally different and more effective way than traditional SMAS facelifts. Unlike conventional methods that primarily lift the skin and then reposition the underlying superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS) separately, the Deep Plane approach involves carefully lifting the SMAS layer, including skin, fat, and muscle (SMAS), as a single, integrated unit for more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
This allows your facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah, to release specific facial ligaments and elevate tissues from a deeper plane. The overall purpose is to achieve a more natural, youthful appearance by repositioning descended facial structures to their original, higher positions, rather than simply tightening excess skin. This results in a comprehensive, fluid, and long-lasting rejuvenation of the mid-face, lower face, and neck, eliminating harsh lines and preserving natural facial expressions.
Embarking on a Deep Plane Facelift at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery is a meticulously planned and expertly executed experience. On the day of your procedure, you will be welcomed to our AAAHC-accredited, state-of-the-art surgery center in Upland, CA, where your safety and comfort are paramount, supported by our experienced staff and board-certified anesthesiologist.
This facial surgery involves precise incisions discreetly placed within the hairline and natural creases around the ears, designed to minimize visible scarring. Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah will then perform the deep plane dissection, lifting the skin and underlying muscle-fat layer (SMAS) together. This integrated lift allows for the natural repositioning of sagging tissues, addressing jowls, deep nasolabial folds, and neck skin laxity from a more fundamental level.
Excess facial skin is then carefully trimmed, and the remaining tissues are delicately redraped and secured, creating a beautifully contoured and refreshed appearance. The procedure length can vary, but our focus is always on achieving optimal, harmonious results with exceptional precision. Post-surgery, you'll rest comfortably under our attentive care before returning home with detailed aftercare instructions.
The Deep Plane Facelift is particularly effective at correcting specific, more advanced signs of facial aging that less comprehensive techniques may not fully resolve. This includes:
By addressing these conditions at a deeper anatomical level, the Deep Plane Facelift delivers a more profound and enduring transformation.
The Deep Plane Facelift primarily targets and rejuvenates the mid-face, lower face, and neck, creating a seamless and natural transition between these areas.
Choosing a Deep Plane Facelift at Face N Body provides unparalleled advantages for lasting, natural facial rejuvenation.
The Deep Plane technique lifts and repositions the underlying facial structures as a unit, avoiding tension on the skin itself. This critical difference ensures that your results look incredibly natural and harmonious, rather than "tight" or "pulled," preserving your authentic facial expressions and unique character. It truly looks like you, just more rested and youthful.
By addressing the root cause of facial sagging at a deeper anatomical level, the Deep Plane Facelift offers more robust and significantly longer-lasting results compared to traditional methods. Patients typically enjoy their refreshed appearance for 10 to 15 years or even more, making it a truly impactful investment in your long-term aesthetic goals.
This advanced procedure delivers holistic rejuvenation, seamlessly addressing concerns across the mid-face, lower face, and neck. It effectively lifts sagging cheeks, redefines jowls, smooths deep nasolabial folds, and tightens the neck, creating a fluid and youthful contour that flows naturally from your temples to your collarbone.
Due to its comprehensive nature and stability of deeper tissue repositioning, the Deep Plane Facelift often requires fewer touch-ups or revisions compared to more superficial techniques, providing greater peace of mind and satisfaction over time.
The Deep Plane Facelift is typically recommended for individuals experiencing moderate to significant signs of facial aging, particularly noticeable sagging in the mid-face, prominent jowls, and significant neck laxity. Candidates are generally in good health, non-smokers, and seek a comprehensive, long-lasting, and remarkably natural rejuvenation.
It is an excellent option for those seeking a profound transformation that addresses the underlying causes of facial aging, rather than just the skin's surface. During your in-depth consultation with Dr. Park or Dr. Cheah in Upland, CA, your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals will be thoroughly assessed to determine if the Deep Plane Facelift is your ideal path to renewed radiance.
The recovery following a Deep Plane Facelift procedure is a structured process, and our compassionate team at Face N Body will provide meticulous guidance and support. While the approach targets deeper tissues, patients often report less tightness than with older methods.
Our goal is to ensure that your recovery is as smooth and comfortable as possible, resulting in exceptional and lasting outcomes.
While you'll observe immediate improvements in your facial and neck contours right after your Deep Plane Facelift, the true, stunning results will emerge progressively as swelling completely resolves. Most significant changes become beautifully apparent by the 3 to 6-month mark, with the full, refined outcome continuing to develop over your first year. The advantage of the Deep Plane technique is that the underlying structural changes are immediate and profound.
The Deep Plane Facelift is renowned for delivering exceptional longevity. By repositioning the deeper muscle and fat layers, this technique provides results that can truly withstand the test of time, typically lasting 10 to 15 years or even more. This represents a significant and durable investment in your youthful appearance. While the natural aging process continues, your face will consistently look years younger, with tighter skin and lifted contours, than if you had not undergone the procedure, maintaining a refreshed and harmonious aesthetic for over a decade.

A Deep Plane Facelift lifts the skin, fat, and muscle (SMAS) layers together as one unit, repositioning them from a deeper plane. This contrasts with traditional facelifts that separate the skin from the muscle, often leading to a more natural and longer-lasting result with less tension on the skin.
While a Deep Plane Facelift works on deeper tissues, many patients find the recovery comparable to or even less "tight" than traditional methods because there is less skin tension. Swelling and bruising are expected, but proper aftercare and our team's guidance ensure a comfortable process.
Absolutely. The Deep Plane Facelift often includes a significant improvement to the neck, as the deeper muscle and soft tissue repositioning can effectively tighten loose neck skin, reduce banding, and redefine the jawline, creating a seamless transition from face to neck.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including swelling, bruising, temporary numbness, and very rarely, infection or nerve injury. Our surgeons thoroughly discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation, and our accredited facility minimizes these risks.
Most patients feel comfortable returning to light social activities within 2 to 3 weeks, as significant swelling and bruising subside. However, minor residual swelling can persist for several months, with your final results gradually emerging.
A Deep Plane Facelift can often be combined with other complementary procedures to enhance overall facial harmony, such as a Deep Plane Neck Lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), brow lift, or fat grafting to restore volume in other areas. Your surgeon will discuss the most beneficial combinations for your personalized goals.
