Will I benefit from a deep plane facelift?

Thank you for your inquiry.

The deep plane facelift relies primarily on releasing retaining ligaments and advancing the cheek tissues. The tension applied during lifting is not meant to be high in anybody.

In someone with low body weight, the weight of the facial soft tissue is also lower and therefore the strength of the lift does not need to be as high anyway.

One of the downsides of thin soft tissues is that the suture materials used can show under the skin until they dissolve and this can be several months.

To complement the results of the facelift, it is possible to use Sculptra after the surgery and build more volume for the face just for a softer look.

If you would like to determine whether deep plane facelift is Worth it for you, I suggest that you examine your facial appearance when you lie down completely flat and using a mirror rather than the mobile phone. It produces a change in the appearance of the face that has many similarities deep plane facelift.

The other consideration about the surgery is related to health. Medical conditions can also affect the characteristics of the surgery and its safety and would need to be considered when making a decision.

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.

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.
