Deep Plane Facelift
What Is It?
The deep plane facelift is a surgical procedure performed to correct sagging in the midface and lower face by reaching the deeper layers of the underlying tissues beneath the skin. In this technique, not only the skin but also the SMAS (the layer of facial muscles and connective tissue) and deeper ligaments are released and repositioned upward. As a result, a more natural, long-lasting, and youthful appearance is achieved.
Surgery Duration and Type of Anesthesia
The surgery typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours. Since the procedure involves working on the deeper tissue planes, it is performed under general anesthesia. During the operation, symmetrical dissection is carried out on both sides of the face.
Why Is This Procedure Preferred?
Compared to traditional facelift techniques, the deep plane facelift provides much more long-lasting results as it addresses deeper facial tissues. It does not create a tight or artificial appearance on the skin. Age-related concerns such as deep nasolabial folds, sagging along the jawline, and drooping cheeks are corrected more effectively.

Aesthetics reshapes not only appearance but also self-confidence.
Who Is It Suitable For?
It is generally suitable for individuals over the age of 40 who have noticeable facial sagging, loss of jawline definition, deep wrinkles, and volume loss. The best results are achieved in patients with sufficient skin elasticity and good overall health.
Recovery Process
Swelling and bruising are normal during the first week after surgery. Most patients can return to social life within 10–14 days. It is recommended to sleep with the head elevated and avoid strenuous physical activities for the first few weeks. The final results typically become more apparent within about 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do the results last?
The results of a deep plane facelift usually last between 10–15 years.
Is it a painful procedure?
Mild pain may be experienced after surgery, but it can be easily managed with medication.
Will there be visible scars?
Since the incisions are made along the natural skin folds in front of and behind the ears, they are generally very discreet and difficult to notice.
Facelift, when performed with proper planning, an experienced surgeon, and close patient cooperation, makes it possible to achieve natural and harmonious results that restore the overall aesthetic balance of the face. Since each patient’s anatomy and expectations are unique, personalized planning plays a crucial role in the success of this procedure.
