Restore Youthful Contours with a Deep Plane Facelift.

Achieve transformative results beyond the surface, rejuvenating your face and enhancing your natural beauty with Dr. Chasan’s expertise. Aging can cause the face to lose its youthful structure and lead to sagging in the mid-face, jawline, and neck. While many facelift techniques are available, the deep plane facelift in San Diego offers superior, long-lasting results by lifting and repositioning the deeper layers of the face, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At the forefront of advanced facial rejuvenation techniques, Dr. Paul Chasan offers the deep plane facelift to those seeking remarkable yet natural-looking results.

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure that addresses sagging skin, muscle, and fat by repositioning the deeper layers of the face. Unlike traditional facelifts, which primarily tighten the skin, the deep plane technique lifts the underlying muscles and tissues to achieve a more significant, natural-looking transformation. This advanced approach minimizes tension on the skin and delivers longer-lasting results.

The deep plane facelift targets the layer of tissue beneath the skin called the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and the deeper layers. Elevating and repositioning the SMAS and the facial muscles restores the facial structure to its natural, youthful position. The deep plane facelift also improves the neck, jowls, and mid-face appearance, offering a comprehensive rejuvenation beyond the surface.

What are the Benefits?

A deep plane facelift offers profound facial rejuvenation by addressing the root causes of aging, such as sagging skin, muscle laxity, and deep creases.

Long-lasting, natural-looking results
Minimal skin tension and scarring
Restores youthful facial contours
Addresses deep wrinkles and folds
Enhances the jawline and neck area

The Procedure Process

Dr. Chasan begins the procedure with a thorough consultation to assess your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals. During the surgery, small incisions are made along the hairline and behind the ears to access the underlying muscle and tissue layers. The deep plane technique allows for lifting the SMAS layer and repositioning the deeper tissues, ensuring minimal skin tension and a natural-looking result. Dr. Chasan meticulously repositions the tissues, smoothing the skin and enhancing the face and neck contours. The surgery typically lasts 4 to 6 hours, and patients are comfortable under general anesthesia.

Recovery

Recovery from a deep plane facelift involves several weeks of downtime. Initially, you may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are manageable with prescribed medications. Bandages will be applied to reduce swelling, and follow-up visits will ensure proper healing. Most patients can return to light activities after 2 to 3 weeks, with final results visible in about three months. Dr. Chasan provides personalized post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.
