What is the difference between a deep plane face lift and a regular face lift? advantages/disadvantages to each? can either be performed under iv sedation as opposed to general anesthesia?

Some "facelifts" are relatively simple suspension procedures with redundant facial skin pulled up from behind the hair line on both sides of the face. A "deep plane" face lift is a more complicated undermining of the facial skin, and the resulting scar tissue may be difficult to repeat once the remaining skin is stretched with aging. Obtain a consult with a facial plastic surgeon for guidance.
