Deep Plane Facelift

Introduction to Deep Plane Facelift

Marketing would like you to believe that if you just buy the RIGHT product, all of your skin’s imperfections can be gone overnight. While you may see some benefits from using that lotion or serum, they can only do so much. Unfortunately for patients with jowls, deep folds, and severe skin sagging, these are conditions that cannot be fixed with a skincare routine and require deeper care. A deep plane facelift is a great option to restore that youthful, lifted appearance. Dr. Olatomide Familusi of Élevé Plastic Surgery in Atlanta specializes in deep plane facelift surgery, which is designed to lift and reposition deeper layers of facial tissue for long-lasting, natural results.

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a cosmetic procedure that gets to the root of the problem, causing sagging skin and deep folds in patients. It uses advanced surgical techniques to target the underlying muscles and ligaments of the face rather than simply tightening the skin. By releasing and repositioning the deeper layers, a deep plane facelift delivers long-lasting results by creating a more natural lift and correcting sagging in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and neck

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift?

One of the biggest benefits of deep plane facelifts is their long-lasting results since the procedure targets deep tissues and muscles. The effects of this procedure can last for over a decade with proper care. Additionally, people choose to get this operation because it restores volume and definition, which results in a natural, more youthful look. Deep plane facelifts are also designed to have minimal scarring because of where the incisions are placed, and the treatment can be combined with other procedures to achieve a more comprehensive transformation.

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Deep Plane Facelift?

Individuals in the greater Atlanta area interested in getting a deep plane facelift should meet the following criteria:

  • Experience loss of volume in the cheeks and/or sagging skin and jowls.
  • Want long-lasting and natural-looking results
  • Be in generally good health and not smoke.
  • Understand and be realistic about the potential outcomes of the procedure.

If this describes you, you should consult with Dr. Familusi to better determine whether this procedure is right for you.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the first step?

As with most cosmetic procedures, you’ll want to get the opinion of a board certified surgeon to determine what this procedure might look like for you. If you’re around Atlanta, start with scheduling a consultation with Dr. Familusi at Élevé Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Sandy Springs. She will take the time to sit down with you, look at your facial structure, and provide some recommendations per your aesthetic goals. Take the time to ask questions, as this is a time for education and ensuring you are as comfortable as possible. Dr. Familusi will go in-depth about the details of the procedure, how you can prepare for it, and what aftercare is needed to ensure the best results and healing. Lastly, if you’re ready, your surgical appointment will be scheduled.

What to Expect on the Day of Deep Plane Facelift Surgery

Our surgical facility in Sandy Springs is designed to keep you as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. We understand that sometimes surgery can be scary, but rest assured, our compassionate team and Dr. Familusi will help you through it by answering any questions and walking you through the steps.

The first step of deep plane facelift surgery is putting you under general anesthesia. From there, Dr. Familusi will begin the surgery by making precise and concealed incisions in areas near the hairline and around the ears. Then, she’ll work on releasing and repositioning deep layers of tissue in the affected areas, which will start to restore your natural contours. The entire procedure can last for 3-5 hours, after which you’ll be monitored in recovery before it is safe to be sent home with a trusted caregiver the following day.

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery

You’ll feel some swelling and bruising for the first two weeks after your surgery; however, this is completely normal. After those initial weeks, it will be safe to resume most everyday activities except for any strenuous tasks or exercises. That can be resumed after about 4-6 weeks. Lastly, you’ll be able to see and appreciate the full results of the deep plane facelift procedure between the 3 month mark as the swelling fully subsides. You’ll be given detailed post-operative instructions on how to care for your skin to ensure proper healing, which includes resting with your head elevated and applying cool packs to the face.
