The deep plane face-lift is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that is a modification of standard facelift techniques. Most often this procedure is used to correct deep facial folds called nasolabial folds. Deep plane face-lifts improve these visible signs of aging by removing excess fat, tightening underlying muscles, and repositioning the skin of your face and neck.
The detachment of skin and muscle from the bone makes this surgery much more intensive than other facelifts like the endoscopic face lift which pull up the facial skin and muscles. Besides removing the deep creases that form between the nose and mouth, the surgery can reduce the appearance of jowls and the fat deposits and folds that appear around the neck. All face-lift techniques can be done alone, or in conjunction with other cosmetic surgery treatments such as a brow lift, neck lift, eyelid surgery, or nose reshaping (Rhinoplasty).
