Difference between the Deep Plane Facelift and other Facelifts

Jacob D. Steiger, MD answers: Difference between facelift procedures?

What is the difference between facelift procedures? There are deep plane, laser, and regular. I do not know of any others. How do you know which is right for you? I am fair, thin-skinned, and 60 years old. Thank you.

The difference between facelift techniques lies in where and how the SMAS (the deep muscle layer) is addressed. The deep plane facelift differs from traditional facelifts in that the mid face is also lifted as well as the jowl and neck.
