I have had 8 consultations. 6 were face only doctors and 2 were general plastic surgeons. The doctor I reserved a facelift with 3 years ago sadly died during Covid. His high smas deep plane technique was 4 hours. Anything else was added on time. His results were literally transformational as my girlfriend went and she looks exactly like she did when she got married. Literally like a magician turned back the hands of time. The other docs tell me it only take 2 hours. How is this possible?

Answer: Facelift I would not trust anyone who says they can do a proper extended deep plane facelift/necklift under 4 hours. This takes a significant amount of dissection, tissue mobilization, suturing, and intraoperative decision making. I would highly recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in facelift surgery. This includes proper training such as a 6 year integrated plastic surgery residency training program followed by an aesthetic fellowship accredited by the Aesthetic Society. I would also extensively review before/after photos, Google reviews, and meet with the physician.

Answer: Length of time for an extended deep plane facelift Thank you for your question. A deep plane facelift is possibly the most advanced and complex surgical procedure for achieving a significant facial rejuvenation. While every patient is different, typically this type of facelift performed by an experienced facial plastic surgeon can take around 2 to 4 hours to complete. However, factors such as the surgeon's particular technique, the extent of the procedure, and the type of anesthesia used (local or IV sedation) can affect the length of time. Additionally, the duration can be influenced by other procedures or treatments that may be performed in combination with the deep plane facelift. Best wishes on your self-care journey, Dr. Konstantin
