Facelift & Deep Plane
Repositions deeper facial tissues rather than skin alone, yielding longer-lasting, more natural rejuvenation.

Overview
The deep-plane facelift repositions the deeper SMAS layer rather than pulling on skin, producing a result that is both more natural and considerably longer-lasting than traditional techniques.
Combined with neck refinement, fat repositioning and skin resurfacing when indicated, it restores youthful architecture without erasing character.
- Naturally lifted mid-face and jawline
- Restored neck definition
- No 'pulled' or windswept appearance
- Results lasting a decade or more
- Patients in their late 40s to 70s with mid-face descent
- Loss of jawline definition or neck laxity
- Those seeking long-term, structural rejuvenation
From consult to long-term care.
Consultation
Aesthetic mapping of the mid-face, jawline and neck. We discuss combined procedures (eyelid, fat-grafting, laser) when relevant.
Surgery
Performed under general anaesthesia with overnight hospital recovery. Incisions hidden along the hairline and behind the ear.
Recovery
Initial swelling settles in 2 weeks. Most patients return to social life at 3 weeks; full result emerges at 3 months.
Long-term
Annual reviews and a tailored skincare protocol to extend the result.
Your questions, answered.
Will I look unnaturally tight?
+
No. Deep-plane technique repositions tissues at their anatomic origin — there is no skin tension.
How long do results last?
+
Typically 8–12 years, often longer. Ageing continues, but from a refined baseline.
