Would a deep plane facelift work for someone like me with minimal subcutaneous fat and bone density? If yes, should a fat transfer be added to the mid or outer face to create a more rounder fresher appearance?
Answer: Deep Plane Facelift for Thin Face When undergoing any facial plastic surgery, all three components of facial aging must be considered and potentially addressed: 1) Skin quality2) Gravitation descent of tissues3) Loss of volume If a patient issues are not addressed in a balanced way, an otherwise well-performed surgery could turn out to look unnatural. A deep plane facelift is the gold standard facelift for anyone who has had gravitational shift of tissue. But for balance, laser resurfacing (CO2 or Erb:YAG) for skin and fat grafting for volume restoration must be considered. For issues related to volume loss or a thin face, fat grafting should be considered as an adjunct procedure.

Answer: Deep plane facelift with fat transfer A deep plane facelift can still be highly effective in lifting and repositioning the deeper facial tissues, addressing sagging, and enhancing facial contours. Since the procedure works on the deeper layers, it can create a more natural and long-lasting lift even in individuals with minimal fat. , Fat transfer can soften the contours of the face, reduce any hollow areas, and contribute to a fresher, rejuvenated look. The combination of lifting with the facelift and volumizing with fat transfer can enhance the overall harmony and aesthetic result. Best WishesDr Erman Ak

Answer: Deep Plane facelift and fat grafting on a Thin woman.. This is a great question!! A deep plane facelift restores volume in the upper cheeks that have dropped into the lower face, removes sagging facial skin and elevates the facial volume . In thin patients like your case, the natural volume you already have, might not be enough and some fat infiltration must be used on the cheeks and under the eyes to restore a youthful appearance to the face. sincerely , Dr. Rafael Arenas Quintana Instagram.com/Dr.RafaelArenas/

Answer: Deep plane facelift in a thin woman A deep plane lift is appropriate in any case. Care must be taken in developing the plane for the lift so as not to endanger the motor nerves. You have obviously read about or talked to a surgeon in your area about fat grafting which would be of benefit for you. The problem with very thin people is where to get the fat to transfer. Not much is needed but I have seen thin people who have almost none. Best of luck Dr. J

Answer: Facelift For Thin Face Hello, hope you are well. Thank you for submitting your questions and photos! You would be a great candidate for facial rejuvenation. A deep plane facelift would be the most important part of that process, but I would highly suggest fat grafting and possibly some additional procedures to refresh your appearance. Good luck on your journey! Best, Dr. Tower
