Deep Plane Facelift: A Surgical Procedure for Facial Structure and Support

A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure designed to address changes in facial structure and skin laxity that occur over time. This technique involves elevating and repositioning both the skin and underlying muscle layers to provide structural support.

Dr Adam Honeybrook has undertaken additional training in deep plane facelift techniques and holds Board Certification in the United States in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery and Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He is a specialist Australian Head and Neck Surgeon and (MED0001602935) and he has trained with internationally renowned surgeons, including Dr Andrew Jacono and Dr Kevin Duplechain.

Considering a Deep Plane Facelift?

Factors such as gravity, sun exposure, facial volume loss, and changes in collagen and elastin can contribute to visible changes in facial appearance. Some individuals may notice wrinkles, folds, and skin laxity, which can influence their decision to explore surgical options.

A deep plane facelift involves adjusting both the skin and deeper facial structures. Unlike techniques that primarily focus on the skin and superficial tissues, this approach repositions deeper layers of the face. The aim is to provide structural support while maintaining facial integrity.

Key Considerations for a Deep Plane Facelift

  • May be an option for individuals of various ages and genders, depending on individual factors.
  • Involves removing excess skin and adjusting soft tissue positioning.
  • May be combined with other surgical procedures, such as brow lift, eyelid surgery, lip lift, facial fat grafting, and facial resurfacing.
  • Surgical outcomes vary between individuals, and results depend on factors such as healing, genetics, and lifestyle.
