What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts and repositions deeper facial tissues rather than simply tightening the skin. By releasing and elevating the face’s underlying structural layers as a single unit, this technique creates smoother, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking results. A deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills is carefully customized to restore youthful facial harmony while preserving your natural features and overall identity.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

You may be a good candidate for a deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills if you are experiencing moderate to advanced facial aging, including sagging cheeks, deep smile lines, jowls, laxity, or loss of jawline definition. Many patients seek this advanced procedure for comprehensive facial rejuvenation with natural-looking, long-lasting results. The ideal candidates typically want to restore youthful facial harmony while preserving their unique features and expressions.

Dr. Behrooz Torkian carefully evaluates candidacy based on your anatomy, skin quality, medical history, and aesthetic goals. Patients should generally be in good overall health, avoid smoking, and maintain realistic expectations regarding surgical outcomes and recovery.

I am three weeks out from my neck and lower face lift and CO2 laser. I could not be happier. I had met with a few surgeons before meeting with Dr. Torkian. The moment I met him, I knew he was different. So humble and kind and beyond talented. I never felt rushed in any of our appointments, and the entire office staff feel almost like family. I have short hair, and at 2 weeks, I couldn't see ANY incisions, and I have an eagle eye. If you want a talented surgeon without the ego - Dr. Torkian is your person. Would give more stars if I could.

What’s the Difference?Deep Plane Facelift vs. Traditional Facelift

While both facelift procedures are performed to restore a more youthful appearance, they differ in technique, depth of correction, and longevity. Understanding these differences can help you choose the most appropriate approach for your facial anatomy and desired outcome.

Deep Plane Facelift

A deep plane facelift repositions deeper facial tissues beneath the SMAS layer as a single unit, allowing for more comprehensive rejuvenation of the cheeks, jawline, and neck. By releasing the key retaining ligaments, this technique creates smoother, more natural-looking contours without excessive tension on the skin, which helps preserve natural facial expressions.

Traditional Facelift

A traditional facelift primarily focuses on tightening the skin and superficial tissue layers to reduce sagging and wrinkles. While it can improve visible signs of aging, it may not fully address deeper structural descent in the midface and lower face. In some cases, traditional methods can create a tighter or less natural appearance due to increased skin tension.

Deep Plane Facelift Frequently Asked Questions

How long do deep plane facelift results last?

Deep plane facelift results are known for their longevity, with many patients enjoying their rejuvenated appearance for 10 to 15 years. Because this facelift procedure repositions deeper structural tissues rather than simply tightening the skin, the face continues aging more naturally over time. While the aging process does not stop, you can maintain your results longer through sun protection, medical-grade skincare, and healthy lifestyle habits.

Will I look overdone or unnatural after surgery?

One of the primary goals of deep plane facelift in Beverly Hills with Dr. Torkian is to create refined, natural-looking facial rejuvenation without a pulled or artificial appearance. By lifting the deeper facial structures as a single unit and minimizing tension on the skin, Dr. Torkian restores youthful contours while preserving your authentic facial expressions, balance, and identity.

Is a deep plane facelift painful?

Most patients describe discomfort after surgery as manageable. You can expect swelling, tightness, bruising, and mild soreness during the early stages of recovery, especially within the first week. Dr. Torkian provides detailed postoperative instructions and carefully monitors your healing process to help ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.

Will my scars be visible?

Incisions for a deep plane facelift are strategically placed around the natural contours of the ears and hairline to keep scarring as discreet as possible. As healing progresses, scars typically continue fading and become difficult for others to notice. Dr. Torkian’s meticulous surgical technique focuses on both aesthetic refinement and long-term scar quality.
