Do Deep Plane facelifts last longer & have more natural results than SMAS? If so, typically how much longer?

Using the elastic skin to support a facelift in my opinion is a poor idea. In a deep plane are composite facelift the SMAS is repaired under tension to support the lift. This allows for a tension free closure of the skin.

Dear SamStevensonThank you for your question!  The facelift result and longevity depend  on a lot of factors - to give natural results that also change with your face as you age.  With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
