A deep plane facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at rejuvenating the face and neck by addressing sagging skin and deep wrinkles. This involves tightening and repositioning the skin and underlying tissues to reduce sagging, wrinkles, and other signs of aging, ultimately giving the patient a more youthful and refreshed look.

The Effects of Age on the Face & Neck
As you age, the effects of time become increasingly evident on your face and neck. Your skin gradually loses its elasticity, leading to sagging and the formation of wrinkles. Collagen and fat depletion can cause volume loss, contributing to hollowed cheeks and a sunken appearance. Furthermore, repetitive facial expressions and sun exposure can exacerbate these changes, leading to deep wrinkles and creases on the face and neck. Dr. Schalit offers personalized deep plane facelifts to address these changes and help you reclaim your youthful appearance.

About Your Facelift
A deep plane facelift addresses the visible signs of aging in the face and neck region. Over time, factors such as genetics, sun exposure, and the natural aging process can lead to the loss of skin elasticity, the development of wrinkles, and the accumulation of excess fat in these areas. This can result in a tired, aged appearance that may not accurately reflect your inner vitality.
A deep plane facelift involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of underlying tissues to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Additionally, it also targets sagging skin and muscle bands in the neck area, creating a harmonious transition between the face and neck. These procedures can address loose jowls, deep wrinkles, and the dreaded “turkey neck,” ultimately helping you achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated facial and neck contour.

The Neck Lift: A Part of the Deep Plane Facelift
While some individuals may perceive a neck lift and a facelift as distinct procedures, they are actually integral components of the same surgical intervention. A deep plane facelift encompasses enhancements not only to the facial area but also to the neck region.
This includes tightening loose skin, removing excess fat, and contouring muscles to achieve a harmonious and youthful appearance throughout the face and neck regions. Thus, a deep plane facelift inherently incorporates modifications typically associated with a neck lift.

Deep Plane Facelift vs. Mini Facelift: Is There a Difference?
The terms “deep plane facelift” and “mini facelift” refer to variations in the extent of facelift surgery rather than distinct techniques. Both rejuvenate the face and neck, but the approach differs based on individual needs. Factors like age, weight, and skin laxity influence the amount of excess skin addressed. For example, an older, larger man may require more skin excision than a smaller, younger woman. The technique remains the same, but the amount of skin laxity addressed depends on the patient.
Deep Plane Facelift FAQs
What is the ideal age for a deep plane facelift?
There are no specific age requirements or limits, but a deep plane facelift is generally popular amongst patients in their late 40s and beyond. It depends on your specific concerns and how aging has affected your appearance.
Are there non-surgical alternatives to a deep plane facelift?
Yes, non-surgical options like dermal fillers and thread lifts can provide temporary improvements. While they are less invasive and offer minimal downtime, their results may not be as long-lasting or comprehensive as a surgical facelift.
How long does a deep plane facelift last?
The results of a deep plane facelift generally last 7-10 years, but the aging process continues. Genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can influence how long the effects will last.
Will a deep plane facelift leave noticeable scars?
The incisions from a deep plane facelift are strategically placed along the hairline, behind the ears, and sometimes under the chin to minimize visibility. Over time, the scars tend to fade and become less noticeable. Your surgeon will provide guidance on scar care to optimize their healing.
How soon can I return to work and regular activities after a deep plane facelift?
Most patients can return to work and light activities within 10-14 days post a deep plane facelift. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
Are there any risks or complications associated with a deep plane facelift?
Like any surgical procedure, deep plane facelifts carry some risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and anesthesia-related complications. It’s crucial to choose a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Schalit and follow all pre and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks.
