Is there anyway possible such as MRI, ct scan, or any other type of procedure that you can find out if you actually got a deep plane, facelift or not?

It appears from the photographs that you share that there may be some protuberant buccal fat that could be removed. Check with your surgeon and see if buccal fat was removed and if not, if it could be. All the best Dr. J

Hello, hope you are well. Endoscopic and deep plane facelifts exist, but the two don't really go together. Sort of like an electric vehicle with an internal combustion engine. Endoscopic lifts can be done safely, but the deep plane facelift is an entirely different procedure. Best, Dr. Tower
