Deep Plane Facelift / Mini Facelift
Surgical facial rejuvenation by deep-plane release and repositioning
About This Treatment
Deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues by releasing retaining ligaments and SMAS-related planes rather than simply pulling skin. It is increasingly searched in the US and Europe for natural, durable rejuvenation. Mini facelift is a more limited option for milder laxity.
Mechanism of Action
Release of facial retaining ligaments allows composite repositioning of deeper soft tissue, improving the mid/lower face while reducing excessive skin tension.
Indications
Expected Results
Contour is assessed after swelling settles over 3-6 months, with effects generally longer lasting than nonsurgical treatments. Patient selection and surgeon expertise are decisive.
Clinical Evidence
Risks & Side Effects
Hematoma, infection, scarring, skin necrosis, facial nerve injury, sensory change, hair loss, asymmetry and anesthesia risks may occur. Qualified surgical expertise is required.
