I have a thin face and was told that I have thin tissue. Will I benefit from a deep plane facelift? I’ve heard that having heavier tissue makes a big difference. Will having thin tissue determine how much a doctor can pull? Will this procedure be worth it in your opinion? I am a seventy year old petite woman.
Answer: Need a photo Probably helpful. Deep plane is a more significant, more substantial way to lift the face. It should be longer lasting and very natural. It is often necessary for heavier faces but still better for thinner faces.

Answer: Tissue A deep plane facelift/necklift can be performed in thin patients. The procedure is actually ideal for very thin skinned patients because there is less skin undermining and more robust flaps created.

Answer: Deep plane facelift Hello , It is very difficult to determine if the procedure would be worth it or if it will make a difference without an examination. In general though, the thickness of your skin is important for fine lines and wrinkles. This would not necessarily make you a good or bad candidate specifically for a "deep plane" facelift though. You would need a thorough discussion of what areas of your face bother you and what you would like improved. The thickness or thinness of your skin does not necessarily determine the thickness of the deeper layers. Skin care and collagen stimulation is very important, but tightening the deeper structures (SMAS and platysma) will contour the neck and jawline and would therefore make a deep plane facelift "worth it" if these are areas that bother you. Skin quality is a very important factor though in longevity of a facelift.

Answer: Thin skin facelift Yes, a deep plane facelift can still work well for someone with thin tissue, as it focuses on lifting deeper structures rather than just the skin. Results can be natural and refined when performed by a skilled surgeon, even with thinner facial features.
