Deep Plane Facelift
Anatomically natural rejuvenation at the deepest level.
"The Deep Plane Facelift is considered the gold standard in modern facial surgery. By releasing deep retaining ligaments beneath the SMAS layer, midface fat pads and muscular structures are repositioned as a continuous layer. This removes skin tension entirely, delivering an unoperated, naturally restored appearance."
Your journey
Assessment & Planning
Detailed anatomical evaluation of deep facial retaining ligaments and midface volumes.
Surgical Access
Incision made along natural anatomical folds around the ear cartilage and temporal hair.
Deep Ligament Release
Release of deep anchoring ligaments under the SMAS plane to fully mobilize midface structures.
Vertical Repositioning
The entire deep tissue complex is elevated vertically into its original youthful position without skin tension.
Tension-Free Closure & Recovery
Precision cosmetic suturing is executed with zero tension on skin edges to prevent scarring.
Rehabilitation
Inpatient care
Inpatient stay under observation with supportive facial compression garment.
Suture removal
Skin sutures are removed. Bruising and swelling diminish rapidly.
Social return
Naturally youthful facial contours become visible. Comfortable return to work and routines.
Physical activity
All physical restrictions lifted; full return to sports and exercise routines.
Final result
Deep tissue complete maturation. Facial appearance refreshed by 15 years with hidden scars.
Scar progression
How the scar changes — from surgery to final result
Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
Suture removal
The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.
Active healing
Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.
Maturation
The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.
Final appearance
The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
