Hi. Im very unhappy about my midface are . go fat graft before but not helped me at all. My midface looks saggy. One doctor recommended deep plane mini facelift, and add more fat to the cheek . And another one suggested midface lift . Please could give me your opinion? I would like to make a choice this year and I would like to do it right. ( im 34Y old) I think deep plane face lift would be the best choice but Im too young for that .
I was under the impression I needed incisions in front of and behind ears as well as under the chin for a deep plane face and neck lift. However, someone suggested because I am thin, my neck can be significantly lifted and tightened by the same incisions around the ears. Thoughts?
I have had a facelift 9 months ago and I am actually devastated about the scars, especially on one side. I have had 5 microneedling sessions, 2xRF, CO2, this is how the scars look now. What is your professional opinion on my scars? Should I have a revision or is there any other way to improve them?
I am 36 and noticing a lot of sagging skin on my face and neck. I think the sagging could be due to my 100lb Weightloss because there also seems to be extra loose skin (cant really see it in my picture as its on my neck). Wondering if a deep plane facelift could help? I would personally prefer it to a mini or SMAS because I want the results to last a long time even if that means some scars.
Hi, Im a 38 year old female and I had large cheek implants put into my face in December of 2021 and had them removed in January of 2024. I now have bags under my eyes and loose tissue/malar bags in my upper cheeks especially on my left. Over two years ago, I had the surgeon who did the cheek implants, inject Bellafill into my nasolabial folds, while I still had my cheek implants in. Too much was injected and is noticeable and adds to the sagging look in my face especially on the right. Would a deep plane facelift help make my face look better? Ive been told my skin is tight even though it appears to be sagging. Any information is appreciated!
How is a revision short scar deep plane face lift with fat transfer performed? Local or general anesthesia? How many hours? Will it address saggy cheeks, nose lines with someone with a wide face and thick skin who had a deep plane facelift but issues persist.
Hello, I have consulted with double-board certified facial plastic surgeons for a facelift. One, in particular, performs most of his in-office using tumescent anesthesia (TA). This is appealing to me in an effort to avoid gen'l anesthesia. I am eager to hear opinions on TA for deep plane facelift: Pros & cons? What questions should I be asking? Additionally, I am interested in a brow lift as a separate surgery. Is there an ideal order in which I should have them performed. Thank you for your insights.
Hello I had a DPL a little bit over one year ago. Shortly after my surgery, I had lymphatic massage on my face and during that I heard squeaking on one side of my face. I asked the provider to stop what she did. Roughly 5 days later, I ended up with a fluid pocket where the internal stitches were, and had it drained twice. My problem is the location that bothers me most with laxity is back to where it was. Could my internal stitches have been pulled? My surgeon think that these are periol mounds
Is it possible to effectively lift the midsection of the face without a scar in front of the ears? If the incision site is hidden in the hairline, does this rule out the possibility of deep plane (if a deep plane lift is the most effective way to reposition the malar region)? Considering a younger patient, who likely doesnt have excess skin etc.
