What Is the Face Deep Lift?

The Face Deep Lift uses Deep Plane SMAS technique โ€” the most advanced approach in surgical facial rejuvenation โ€” to release and reposition the deep facial ligaments and SMAS complex together, producing the most natural-looking, comprehensive facial rejuvenation possible with a surgical approach.

Unlike standard SMAS facelifts that separate the skin from the SMAS, the Deep Plane lift moves both layers as a single unit โ€” allowing natural tissue redistribution without the "pulled" or artificial appearance associated with more superficial techniques.

  • Deep Plane SMAS technique โ€” most advanced facelift approach
  • Skin and SMAS moved as one unit โ€” natural result
  • Releases deep ligaments for comprehensive repositioning

Why Choose the Face Deep Lift?

Standard SMAS facelifts address the mid-layer but leave the deep facial ligaments intact โ€” limiting how much tissue can be repositioned before tension becomes visible. The Deep Plane approach releases these ligaments, allowing the entire facial complex to be repositioned to a truly youthful position without skin tension โ€” eliminating the "operated look" entirely.

  • Most comprehensive tissue repositioning available
  • No "pulled" or artificial appearance
  • Results last 10โ€“15 years

How the Deep Plane Face Lift Works

Under general anesthesia, incisions are placed in natural lines around the ear and hairline. The dissection proceeds deep to the SMAS and facial retaining ligaments โ€” releasing the zygomatic, masseteric, and mandibular ligaments that hold the descended facial tissue in its aged position.

With ligaments released, the entire deep facial complex is repositioned superiorly and posteriorly to a youthful position. Skin is then draped over the repositioned structure without tension โ€” preventing the telltale signs of a traditional pull-and-tighten approach. The result is a genuinely rejuvenated face rather than a tightened one.
