The facial areas corrected in a deep plane facelift include:
Cheeks: The deep plane facelift addresses sagging and loss of volume in the cheeks. By repositioning the underlying structures, youthful fullness can be restored to the midface region to enhance cheek contours.
Jawline: The procedure addresses the appearance of jowls and sagging skin along the jawline. By lifting and tightening the deeper tissues, the deep plane facelift creates a more defined and youthful jawline contour.
Neck: Deep plane facelift surgery also targets the upper neck area, addressing loose skin jowls. The procedure provides significant improvement in neck wrinkles and laxity. Likewise, the cervicomental angle is improved to sharpen the transition between neck and face as two distinct structures.
Nasolabial folds: The deep plane facelift effectively reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile lines, by lifting and repositioning the underlying tissues without the pulling effect of older, traditional surgical approaches.
Lower face and mouth area: This technique also improves the lower face and mouth region, minimizing the appearance of marionette lines and creating a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
