Advanced Facial Rejuvenation at Charlotte Plastic Surgery
The Deep Plane Facelift at Charlotte Plastic Surgery offers significant advantages for individuals seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation. This advanced technique goes beyond traditional facelifts, addressing not just the skin and superficial muscles, but also the underlying support structures for truly transformative and long-lasting results.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift?
A Deep Plane Facelift involves lifting and tightening deeper facial muscles and tissues, particularly around the jowls and mouth area. Charlotte Plastic Surgery's board-certified surgeons utilize this technique to create subtle yet dramatic improvements that can last for years. Key benefits include:
- Reversing deeper signs of aging
- Precise facial sculpting and contouring
- Long-lasting results due to re-anchoring of facial tissues
Deep Plane vs. SMAS Facelift
While both techniques aim for rejuvenation, they differ in approach:
SMAS Facelift:
- Focuses on tightening the SMAS layer
- Suitable for mild to moderate aging signs
- May not fully address deeper wrinkles and folds
Deep Plane Facelift:
- Elevates and releases the SMAS layer from underlying muscles
- Ideal for advanced aging signs
- Provides longer-lasting, more natural-looking results
Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift
- Enhanced facial definition
- Long-term durability of results
- Natural and rejuvenating appearance
- Comprehensive correction of facial aging concerns
The Deep Plane Facelift Procedure
Charlotte Plastic Surgery performs Deep Plane Facelifts under deep sedation with local anesthesia. The procedure involves:
- Strategic incisions within the hairline and around the ear
- Tightening and securing the SMAS layer
- Releasing deeper ligaments for natural lift
- Repositioning facial muscles and tissues
- Precise closure of incisions
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery from a Deep Plane Facelift is often gentler than traditional techniques:
- Patients can return home the same day
- Hair washing possible after two days
- Most patients resume light activities within two weeks
Charlotte Plastic Surgery provides personalized guidance throughout the recovery process to ensure optimal healing and results.
