How soon after a deep plane facelift can you get a mid facelift?

The Deep Plane Facelift not only rejuvenates the lower face and neck but also includes the benefits of a mid-facelift by addressing the midface region during the same procedure. By lifting and repositioning deeper facial tissues, it restores volume and contours to the cheeks and under-eye area. This comprehensive approach eliminates the need for a separate mid-facelift, as the deep plane technique naturally achieves balanced, long-lasting, and natural-looking results across the midface, lower face, and neck.

A proper Deep Plane is enough to lift the mid face. If you happen to have had a Deep Plane lift that did not give you the result that you expected, you should wait 12-18 months. If you go back early the tissue will not be flexible enough to lift, the surgeon will not see the anatomy well, and you will risk nerve injury.

The beautiful part of the extended deep plane lift is you get a wonderful lifting of the midface soft tissue without having to do another procedure. The tissue is lifted all the way to the nasolabial line which requires freeing the connective tissue tethers that keep the midface from moving. This allows the soft tissue to move more freely and thus the mid face is lifted at the time of the procedure.

All the Best,
