What are the results of a deep plane facelift like?
The results of a deep plane facelift surgery last for over fifteen years. Patients will continue to age normally after the surgery is performed, but the results are long lasting.
Even 15 years after deep plane facelift surgery, patients will continue to look as youthful as they did on the day of surgery.
After undergoing deep plane facelift surgery, patients can expect to look at least 10 to 15 years younger.
The extended deep plane facelift has better longevity when compared with other types of facelift procedures.
Results of deep plane facelift
Why do results of a deep plane facelift last longer than a typical facelift?
An extended deep plane facelift is a procedure that very few surgeons across the country are performing, but it is one of the most common procedures performed at The Williams Center.
The deep plane facelift is more technically difficult and takes additional time than other types of facelifts. Therefore, many surgeons do not perform the procedure.
The extended deep plane facelift provides long-lasting improvement in the midface and lower lids, in addition to the neck and jawline. The extended deep plane facelift restores a youthful appearance and removes excess skin for a natural result.
The extended deep plane procedure is more effective than other facelift procedures for many reasons, including more extensive dissection to resuspend the deeper layers that are not addressed with the other types of lifts.
How do I know if I need a facelift?
Patients often will ask us, “Do I need a facelift?” Unfortunately, there is no simple answer to this question.
The real question is, how much are you bothered by the signs of aging on your face, and do you want to take steps to remedy them?
Through the plastic surgery consultation process, our specialized facial plastic surgeons will determine whether a person is a good candidate for surgery. Using our computer-generated imagery (CGI) software, patients can see their expected results. The software utilized helps patients understand the possibilities and limitations of facelift surgery.
Patients know they are ready for a facelift after they have researched their options, found a facial plastic surgeon they feel comfortable with, and have the desire to restore a more youthful appearance to their face and neck.
