What are the advantages of a deep-plane facelift vs a traditional facelift?
A deep-plane facelift is an advanced facelifting technique practiced by only a select few surgeons. Over time, gravity causes the deeper structures of the face—like muscles and tissues—to sag, leading to visible signs of aging. Traditional facelifts pull the skin taut over these drooping structures, often creating an overly tight, “wind-swept” appearance. In contrast, a deep-plane facelift goes beneath the skin to reposition the underlying facial elements, restoring them to a more youthful position. With no need for general anesthesia, this advanced technique provides long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Can you explain a lip lift?
With age, the skin between the nose and upper lip lengthens, while the upper lip itself thins. During a lip lift, excess skin is removed through a discreet incision hidden at the base of the nose in the natural crease. This shortens the distance from the nose to the lip, gently lifting and rolling out the upper lip. The result is fuller lips, improved facial balance, and a well-defined cupid’s bow. This 30-minute procedure is done in-office without general anesthesia.
Can patients combine procedures?
Yes. A strategic combination of multiple surgical—and sometimes non-surgical—procedures can address different aspects of aging and enhance overall facial harmony.
