Is a Deep Plane Facelift Better Than a Regular Facelift? A 59-Year-Old’s Answer

For someone with more advanced aging, a deep plane facelift is more appropriate than a traditional SMAS facelift. The regular facelift is more suited to a younger patient or someone with only slight signs of aging. Most of what a regular facelift achieves happens at skin level. It tightens what can be seen but doesn’t address the underlying causes of sagging, so often within a few years (particularly as aging progresses) the result fades away.

This 59-year-old patient from Southern California felt her face had become saggy and tired. She no longer felt her reflection captured her own vibrant spirit. She had drooping brows, a heavy neck and deep wrinkles, and felt she looked older and less like herself. Looking for a good deep plane facelift surgeon in Orange County, she came across Dr. Sadati in Newport Beach. She wanted a refreshed, more youthful look but didn’t want anything overdone.

As part of her discussion with Dr. Sadati, she had a deep plane facelift, brow lift and CO2 laser skin resurfacing. Rather than pulling tight at skin level, this technique lifted and restored youthful contours from deeper layers of her face. Because with a deep plane the structures actually causing the sagging are repositioned, this tends to last much longer than a regular facelift.

Six months on, she looks 20 years younger. She’s a softer, more lifted and radiant version of herself. For the first time, her appearance actually reflects how vibrant she feels on the inside.
