What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues. The surgical plan depends on your anatomy and goals. A natural-looking appearance is a goal, and results vary.
How does it differ?
Facelift techniques differ in how they address the skin and deeper tissues. Dr. Salam Kassis explains the options, trade-offs and approach that may fit your anatomy and goals.
Am I a candidate?
Most candidates notice sagging in the midface, jawline or neck and want a natural result. Request a consultation to discuss your goals with Dr. Salam Kassis.
Will it look natural?
The goal is a natural result. Deep plane technique repositions facial structures so you look rested, not operated on.
THE TECHNIQUE
A natural, architectural release.
The deep plane facelift addresses the structural changes of facial aging, not just the surface. As the face ages, deeper changes occur beneath the skin: descent of facial tissues, loss of midface support, and the development of jowls and deeper folds.
Dr. Kassis releases the ligaments and repositions the deeper layers, allowing the skin to redrape naturally over a restored foundation.
The Benefits
The deep plane facelift restores balance and structure across the face and neck.
• Improved jawline definition with a soft transition along the lower face.
• A smoother, more refined neck contour.
• Restored midface volume and support.
• Rejuvenation that works at the structural level, not just the skin.
• Natural movement and expression preserved.
