Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift is one of the most popular facelifts available because it provides outstanding results and benefits, such as less skin trauma than other facelifts, greater definition to the jawline, neck, and cheekbones, and more natural results than traditional facelifts. A deep plane facelift lifts the deep muscle and connective tissue layer. The deep plane lift begins at the line from the angle to the corner of the eye where the soft tissue starts to fall.

Ideal Candidates for Facelift Surgery

Men and women who are suitable for a facelift will have drooping skin, lines, and wrinkles on the upper, mid, or lower face. Facelift surgery can address one or more areas, depending on your unique goals and desired outcome. It is important to understand that age does not necessarily define the time in life to have a facelift. There are so many aspects, factors, and lift techniques that depend on the cosmetic concerns of the patient.

The lifting technique chosen will vary for patients who are between 30 and 40 years old versus those who are older, such as 60 or 70 years old. The condition of your skin is one of the most important elements in the planning process. Facelift patients should be in good physical health, refrain from smoking, and have realistic expectations.

Facelift FAQ

Which technique is best for me?

The best technique for you will depend on your needs, goals, degree of skin laxity, and more. To produce the results you want, Dr. Starkman will go over the different techniques during your consultation. He will then help you decide which technique is best for you.

Should I get a surgical or non-surgical facelift?

While there are many great nonsurgical skin tightening procedures, these can only produce mild improvements. If you have moderate to severe skin sagging, a surgical facelift is the best choice to rejuvenate your appearance. During your consultation, Dr. Starkman will discuss your options, including non-surgical treatments, to help you select what is best for your goals.

What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?

Injectable wrinkle fillers and relaxers have become very popular to refresh the face. Sometimes known as a liquid facelift, injectable wrinkle treatments may be ideal for early signs of aging, but the results are temporary. A facelift can produce more dramatic improvements than injectables with results that last for a long time. Ask Dr. Starkman about injectable treatments during your consultation.

Will my results look natural?

Many patients worry that facelift surgery will make their skin look too tight, shiny, or like they visited a wind tunnel. Dr. Starkman focuses on giving you a natural-looking result so you look refreshed, not fake. He listens to your needs and goals before developing your personal treatment plan with the technique that will produce your best results.
