Deep Plane facelift and necklift

Inside your body resides a young spirit, but unfortunately, the appearance of your facial skin doesn't reflect it? Perhaps you're brimming with life energy, yet bothered by an aging face suddenly revealing all imperfections. You look tired even when you feel fresh. The face is the first thing people see when they look at you. Understandably, you want to look your best.

With the Deep Plane facelift technique, we can turn back the clock by decades. Enjoy a rejuvenated feeling thanks to this revolutionary method.

The Deep Plane facelift stands out from other facelift procedures. It's a sophisticated surgical technique designed for experienced surgeons, involving the release and lifting of tissues in the deep layer. This method offers a more natural and long-lasting result, addressing skin sagging and the appearance of deep wrinkles. The procedure will give you a smooth and tightened face and neck without making your face look unnatural or overly stretched, as with other facelift techniques. The Deep Plane technique was developed in the early 90s by a surgeon who began performing facelifts in a completely different way, lifting the skin as a whole (composite technique) instead of in separate layers and steps. The method improves blood circulation in the operated area, lifts the faces to make them look healthier and fuller, reduces nasolabial folds, and has other effects. The incisions are typically made in the hairline and around the ears. This facelift technique does exactly what its name suggests (deep plane = deep layer), going deeper than others.

Are you bothered by a double chin? Disruptions in the appearance of the submental area can take various forms, caused by excess fat, weakened platysma muscles, enlarged salivary glands, and various combinations of these deformities. It's a significant aesthetic problem that concerns not only women but also men. Often, this issue is more distressing than the actual tissue sagging on the face. A classic necklift usually involves very superficial maneuvers to rejuvenate the neck, and the skin on the neck often loosens again over time. A typical difference is that in the classical approach, the skin on the neck is completely separated from the subcutaneous platysma muscle. However, this leads to impaired blood supply to the skin, perforation just beneath the skin, affecting the appearance and quality of the surface. An ideal procedure for the neck is, therefore, the Deep Plane neck lift, an advanced technique that focuses on shaping and correcting the deep structures of the neck responsible for tissue enlargement and sagging in the submental area. By operating in depth and not disconnecting the skin from the deep platysma muscle, the result is guaranteed to be undisturbed and vital, without the risk of scarring and compromised blood supply with subsequent necrosis. Only by working in the deep layer, this maneuver is made possible.

A beneficial and popular option is combining the Deep Plane procedure with additional surgeries such as eyebrow lift, upper and lower eyelid surgery, upper lip shortening (lip lift), and transferring your own fat tissue to areas where atrophy has occurred. Particularly, the transfer of fat tissue is a compelling option to supplement volume without using any foreign filler material. Your own fat not only adds volume but also improves the quality of tissues, especially the skin. A new application is also made in the area of the earlobes, which the patient may not see much but others will notice that something has changed, reflecting in the overall assessment of appearance.

Longer-lasting results

- A younger appearance by 10 - 20 years

"Currently, I exclusively use the Deep Plane facelift technique (a facelift that manipulates tissues in the deep layer, not just on the surface), which I consider the most effective and long-lasting among all commonly used techniques. This technique has been used by many surgeons abroad for several years, and the results show that the achieved rejuvenation is unparalleled."

- Most commonly undergone by patients aged 50 and above.

- Overall facial rejuvenation is achieved by tightening facial and neck skin, removing excess skin or fat, and firming subcutaneous muscles, leading to a reduction in deep wrinkles.

- The procedure is performed under general anesthesia due to its relatively lengthy duration, and some maneuvers may be painful.

- Surgery typically takes around 3 hours or more (depending on the extent), usually with a two-day hospitalization.

- You can return to normal life within 2-3 weeks after the procedure.

- Deep Plane facelift (facial lift) and Deep Plane necklift (neck lift) complement each other well; they can be performed separately or together, depending on the stage of skin sagging in the facial and neck areas.
