Advanced Deep Plane Facelift in New Orleans, LA | Dr. Philip J. Miller | Facial Plastic Surgeon

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift represents the most extensive and advanced facial rejuvenation procedure available. This sophisticated technique carefully manipulates the facial ligaments and soft tissue to produce a youthful, natural-looking result. Ideal for patients showing significant signs of aging, the deep plane facelift allows for comprehensive correction of the mid and lower face.

Unique Surgical Approach

Unlike traditional facelifts, the deep plane technique involves a comprehensive manipulation of the SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system). Dr. Miller dissects the entire SMAS layer, enabling more extensive tissue redraping and creating superior contour enhancements with longer-lasting results.

Procedure Details

During a deep plane facelift in New Orleans, patients undergo general anesthesia. Dr. Miller creates discreet incisions around the ears and hairline, carefully lifting the skin and SMAS layers. By surgically releasing specific ligaments, he repositions tissues to create a more youthful facial profile.

Surgical Techniques

• Complete SMAS layer dissection
• Simultaneous skin and tissue repositioning
• Precise ligament release
• Natural-looking facial contours

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising that typically resolves within 7-10 days. Most individuals return to desk jobs and light social activities approximately one week after surgery. The deep plane facelift provides results that can last up to ten years, with a more refined and youthful appearance.

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for a deep plane facelift typically exhibit:

• Advanced signs of facial aging
• Significant skin laxity in cheek and neck areas
• Pronounced facial wrinkles and lines
• Good overall health
