Deep Plane Facelift

Dr. Abi Akl has mastered during his training with Dr. Talei the most comprehensive form of face and neck lift, producing outstanding results. It is very important to understand that the face and neck constitute one unit and they should be treated as such.

Why would you want to have this type of face and neck lift?

Deep plane facelift is very much different than any other type of lift (SMAS plication, SMASEctomy, lateral SMASectomy, SMAS imbrication).

This type of lift involves deeper dissection over vital structures such as nerves and blood vessels, to lift and reposition the muscle, subcutaneous tissues and skin all together back to where they originally were, rather than tightening and pulling used in other techniques. This Face and Neck lift needs to be performed by a very skilled and highly trained surgeon. This is why, you need to seek an experienced and certified surgeon; you do not want uncertain outcomes.

Deep plane facelift achieves long lasting and very natural rejuvenation of the face and neck with no evidence of pulling or tension on the incision lines and without the need of ancillary procedures such as fat grafting or fillers.

The surgery usually takes 3 to 4 hours; it can be done under local or sedation anesthesia but no need for general anesthesia. Deep plane facelift can be done alone or in combination with eyelid surgery, brow surgery, forehead surgery, fat grafting, laser resurfacing or chemical peel, depending on the case.
