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.
Had a friend who had a deep plane mid/lower face lift. Im interested in one too. As of now shes post op day 4, but expresses concern that she thinks it was pulled back too much and she looks tighter than expected. Does it loosen over time? Does it drop over time? How long does it take before the overly pulled look goes away? She was expecting a natural outcome and thinks it looks too snatched. Im curious because I was planning to go to the same surgeon but if she is unhappy with her results then i will need to reconsider my choice as well. However, i know its early in her recovery and she does too so we are hoping that her final outcome will be one she likes.
I am 45 years old. I lost weight and my face thinned and skin loosened. Two months ago I had a fat transfer to inner malar region. Since, I have some looseness in my jaw and marionette lines forming! Would a deep plane facelift be most suitable? I want something long lasting. Is it ok to have a procedure like this when I don't have major signs of aging? Thank you.
Had a deep plane facelift over a year ago. It left asymmetry which resulted in lipo, then an in office revison with fat graft. Sadly, there is still asymmetry and i am hoping this can be improved without further surgery. Would filler help with this? Thanks
I am 60 years old and had a deep plane facelift in March. When I am on video calls, I notice that I still have skin laxity and visible platysmal bands when I am talking or swallowing. If I am not moving, then my neck looks fine except of the horizontal lines that I intend to get treated with filler. Is there a solution for this or is this just normal result?

im currently 49, I received sculptra first time Sept 2024. I developed a small eye bag about a month after. my injector told me it was aging. I waited till our next appointment in Jan 2025, and she recommended co2 laser for the eye bag which I didnt do, and she didnt attribute it to anyting she had done.,we did the second round of scupltra, within a month I was assymetrical, very puffy on one side, brow ptosis which im unsure how this happened. and the skin under the bag has hollowed out more. she tells me that there is no way scupltra has done this. I what I want to know is when I can get a deep plane lift. im concerned about I consider it now to be recontructive surgery. im afraid the scupltra will react or the surgery cant be done due to adhesions. can I still get a good result now and how long do I need to wait?
Hi, I'm in my early 40's, I've always had genetically long drooping asymmetrical cheeks since I was I was younger. I have deepening Nasolabial folds in my 40's now that bother me which I have had filler twiice for. I don't have much skin laxity or jowls yet. My primary interest is to raise the actually cheek muscle to a higher position. Would deep plane face lift be best for this then? As I have read although SMAS is less invasive, it only lifts sagging cheek fat. I have gotten differing opinions when I have consulted. One said, I am a candidate for endoscopic mid face lift deep plane approach. Another said endoscopic mid face lift is rarely ever true deep plane and results fall in 1 year, so recommends mini face lift instead. Another recommended full face lift via high smas approach. Can someone tell me which type will be best to raise my drooping long cheek muscles?
I am 66 yrs old and weigh 150 lbs. I have lost 140 lbs. in the last 2.5 years and have sagging skin all over. I would like to start with a facelift. I am healthy, except for severe sleep apnea. The operation is somewhere between 4-6 hours under general anesthesi. My question is will this be safe for me ? Thank you.
Hi doctors, I had a deep plane facelift with fat transfer 10 months ago, and I have three concerns Id love professional opinions on. Ive attached photos to illustrate them. 1. Extra Skin Behind My Earlobes Since the surgery, Ive noticed that the skin behind both ears appears weird. Part of the skin seems attached to the earlobe, while another part is connected to the surrounding skin, creating a fold or step-off effect. Ive never heard of this happening beforeis this normal? Also, can it be fixed? 2. Lack of Fat Transfer in My Eye Area My surgeon did perform fat transfer, but in my view, it wasnt enough in the lower eyelid. When I brought this up, he responded that adding more fat wouldnt look good. However, when I was still swollen, my eyes appeared much betterfuller and more refreshed. Is it accurate that additional fat transfer to this area generally doesnt look good? I feel like some volume there would have improved my results rather than harmed them. Would fat transfer still be an option at this point? 3. Theres a noticeable gap or separation between the hairline and the area behind my earan unnaturally smooth patch of bare neck skin that extends farther up. Is this normal with deep plane facelifts? Id appreciate any insights into whether these are common post-op experiences or if they might require intervention. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!
