What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A deep plane facelift is considered the gold standard in facial rejuvenation surgery for patients seeking the most natural and long-lasting results. Unlike traditional facelift techniques that lift only the skin or superficial muscle layers, the deep plane approach works beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), allowing for more effective repositioning of the midface, cheeks, and jowls.
Unlike traditional facelift procedures, the Deep Plane Vertical Facelift addresses both the superficial and deep tissues of the face, providing comprehensive and long-lasting improvement. This advanced technique lifts the deeper facial tissues as a single unit, releasing key retaining ligaments to avoid tension on the skin. The result is a smoother, lifted, and more youthful appearance, without the pulled or “tight” look often associated with older methods.
At our Beverly Hills facelift center, Dr. Torkian specializes in the deep plane method, which provides the most natural-looking, age-defying transformation available in facial plastic surgery today.
