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.

Benefits
  • Naturally lifted mid-face and jawline
  • Restored neck definition
  • No 'pulled' or windswept appearance
  • Results lasting a decade or more
Ideal candidates
  • Patients in their late 40s to 70s with mid-face descent
  • Loss of jawline definition or neck laxity
  • Those seeking long-term, structural rejuvenation
The Process

From consult to long-term care.

01

Consultation

Aesthetic mapping of the mid-face, jawline and neck. We discuss combined procedures (eyelid, fat-grafting, laser) when relevant.

02

Surgery

Performed under general anaesthesia with overnight hospital recovery. Incisions hidden along the hairline and behind the ear.

03

Recovery

Initial swelling settles in 2 weeks. Most patients return to social life at 3 weeks; full result emerges at 3 months.

04

Long-term

Annual reviews and a tailored skincare protocol to extend the result.

Frequently Asked

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.
