Will a deep plane face lift take more years off my face than a traditional face lift? as i've gotten older, it seems as though my cheeks are sliding down, and the area around my mouth looks heavier. is a deep plane face lift the right choice to help with

Even : Even a non-deep-plane-facelift-expert like myself can address this question! very few facelift experts feel that the huge risk of this procedure gives a great chance of a better result. That being said, there are some experts who are qualified to do this procedure and it does deliver good results. You should think once, twice, thrice before moving ahead with such a procedure.

The : The simple answer is no. An experienced surgeon should be able to deliver good results with any of the techniques. Do your research and look at before and after photos and see what your surgeon's results look like not just a few month later or even at a year. What do they look like a few years later? A poorly done deep plane facelift will look worse than a well done facelift in a more superficial plane. Be careful also on what you mean by "deep plane". For some that my mean below the muscles and right on top of the bone. And others that may mean above the muscle but deep to the smas, the soft fibrofatty tissue in the face that covers the muscle. In experienced hands, a "deep" smas facelift is very powerful and have very long lasting results.

I : I am not so sure that a deep plane facelift will necessarily give you the best or a better result.Going to a good surgeon who has a lot of experience will guarantee a greater chance of getting a good reult.Tightening the deeper tissues and removal of aged, lax skin is essential.

Probably: Deep plane facelift usually does a little better than traditional facelift for the cheek folds near the mouth. Both are excellent procedures. Ask your surgeon what is best for you.

Facelift names: It is very hard for even surgeons to agree on which facelift takes off more years and more so which one looks more natural. You are better off focusing on finding a good facelift surgeon instead of focusing on the kind of facelift. It is the end result that matters and not the way you get there. Deep plane facelift is just another way to get there.

Deep plane facelift: Studies have shown that a deep plane lift allows for the most elevation of the underlying tissues. Whether this is the right procedure for you can be determined by a physical examination only.
