I asked one of surgeon about deep plane face lift procedure. His assistant email me that dr dose not cut ligament but he release it . What's dose mean? To release ligament, it should be cut right? Is there difference? Or his assistant just confused ?

Answer: Ligament release in facelift "Releasing" or "cutting" the retaining ligaments in the face allows the face to be suspended with deep stitches to accomplish the "lift". This action releases the tethering forces in the deep tissue layers to allow the surgeon to reposition the facial tissues. With regard to the terminology, there is no difference between cutting and releasing these retaining ligaments.

Answer: Deep plane facelift Great question and super detailed of you to inquire about this- as you can see from all the responses below, its the same thing. My suggestion is to review your doctors before and afters and don't hold him or her to the specific step by step details of the procedure as there are sometimes unforeseen factors that we encounter during surgery, that require us to alter our techniques, in order to achieve the best and safest outcomes for our patients. Good luck!
