Deep Plane Facelift in Boston

The deep plane facelift is a sophisticated technique that targets the deeper facial tissues, especially the SMAS layer, which contributes significantly to facial sagging due to aging. The surgeon repositions the deeper tissues and muscles, resulting in a more natural and enduring outcome. This procedure is ideal for those with moderate to significant facial aging, addressing sagging jowls, cheeks, and neck laxity. A traditional facelift involves tightening the skin and underlying muscles to address sagging and wrinkles. While it is less invasive than a deep plane facelift, it may not offer the same level of rejuvenation or longevity of results. A traditional facelift is typically recommended for those with mild to early moderate facial aging.

Deep plane facelifts are renowned for providing longer-lasting results than traditional facelifts due to their focus on the underlying SMAS layer. While individual results may vary, patients generally expect their results to last anywhere from 10 to 15 years. It’s vital to remember, however, that a facelift cannot stop the natural aging process. To maintain your rejuvenated appearance, it’s essential to lead a healthy lifestyle, protect your skin from the sun, and consider non-surgical treatments to address any future signs of aging.

When considering the cost, it’s essential to prioritize the surgeon’s expertise and the quality of care over the price, as a well-performed facelift can provide long-lasting, natural-looking results. Traditional facelift surgeries may produce an outcome that looks pulled, tight, and stretched.

Yes, many patients opt to combine a deep plane facelift with other surgical or non-surgical procedures to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Some popular complementary procedures include a brow lift, lip lift, eyelid surgery, laser skin resurfacing, and dermal fillers or Botox.

While the deep plane facelift is considered a safe and effective procedure, like any surgery, there are potential risks and complications. Some risks associated with this procedure could include bleeding, infection, scarring, nerve damage, or anesthesia complications. To minimize the possibility of complications, it’s crucial to choose an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in deep plane facelifts and to follow their pre-and post-operative care instructions closely.
