Deep Plane Facelift in Beverly Hills, CA | Donald B. Yoo, M.D. Facial Plastic Surgery

Understanding the Deep Plane Facelift Technique

The deep-plane facelift represents an advanced facial rejuvenation technique that addresses facial aging by targeting the deeper layers beneath the skin. Unlike traditional facelift methods, this approach focuses on lifting the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS), creating more natural and long-lasting results.

Key Benefits of Deep Plane Facelift

• Comprehensive lifting of midface, jawline, and neck
• Minimal tension on skin surface
• Preservation of natural blood supply
• More natural and durable aesthetic outcomes

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Donald Yoo meticulously designs facelift incisions to ensure minimal visibility. The procedure involves carefully elevating skin and underlying tissues to create a comprehensive, natural-looking rejuvenation. By working in a precise surgical plane, the technique minimizes tissue disruption and promotes optimal healing.

Ideal Candidates for Deep Plane Facelift

Patients experiencing facial sagging, deep nasolabial folds, jowling, and neck laxity are excellent candidates. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to public activities within two weeks, with minimal bruising and swelling. By four weeks, incisions become nearly imperceptible, and the final results become increasingly refined.

Recovery Guidelines

• Avoid strenuous activities for initial weeks
• Maintain elevated head position during sleep
• Follow precise incision care instructions
• Attend scheduled post-operative appointments

Deep Plane vs. Traditional SMAS Facelift

The primary distinction lies in the surgical technique. While traditional SMAS facelifts separate skin from underlying muscles, the deep-plane approach allows simultaneous lifting of skin and muscular layers, resulting in more harmonious and enduring rejuvenation.
