Hi doctors nearly 2 years ago, I had a deep plane facelift. Since then, I haven't been able to comfortably wear my hair up due to how visible and prominent my scars are. The scar under my chin is, in my opinion, quite bad and the ones near my ears, although technically hidden in the hairline, are sunken or depressed, which actually makes them more noticeable. Im trying to figure out: is this just how these scars typically heal after a deep plane lift, or is this something that could have been avoided or might still be improved? Am I overreacting or is this outcome below expectations? Photos attached. Thank you for your insight.
Hi I had a deep plane facelift 3 months ago along with dissection of the deep and subcutaneous temporal facia and the surgeon also released the orbicularis oculi muscle during the facelift I am not happy with the fact my eyes are now vertically shorter and abit slanted than before I would like to know how permanent are these manuevers? months or years potentially?
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?
Im looking at having some facial rejuvenation done and have been going back and forth between considering a deep plane or endoscopic midface lift. I am 44 . when I look at the deep plane, at a comprehensive result I see the magic in the eyes and the neck. I dont see much lift or oomph in the cheeks. I am very deficient and flat in my cheeks which is making me look aged and tired. My cheeks have descended which has started some jowls. Would the endo lift be appropriate for me? Id like to have a more heart shaped appearance and I think elevating them would help with the tired appearance of my lower lids. I have added an image of the procedure. would it also help with debulking my lower face , since the buccal fat pad would be repositioned? Would this be a good option for me? Then down the road I could do a deep plane? Pros ? Cons? I appreciate t Your thoughts..
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.
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?
