Deep Plane Facelift in Mumbai

Growing older is an inevitable fact of life that first shows on the face and neck. Sagging cheeks, jowls, deep smile lines, a poorly defined jawline, crepey skin, and loose neck skin can all make you appear older than your actual age. While many non-surgical anti-aging treatments help refresh the skin and improve moderate signs of aging, they may have limitations when it comes to managing severe facial sagging, skin laxity, and deep wrinkles. These treatments may no longer provide the desired lifting effect.

For people with advanced skin laxity, a deep-plane facelift offers more natural-looking, long-lasting results. 

At Designer Bodyz Clinic, we offer an advanced deep-plane facelift in Mumbai to reposition deep-seated facial tissues and restore youthful facial contours without affecting your natural expressions. This facelift type addresses the root cause of your aging skin and deliver naturally smoother, firmer results. Experienced plastic surgeon at Designer Bodyz Clinic provides a personalized treatment plan tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift is a surgical approach to an advanced facelift, designed to correct moderate to severe facial aging concerns. It involves lifting and repositioning of the deeper facial structures- the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS), along with the skin above, for long-lasting, natural-looking restoration of youthful facial contour.   
Generally, a deep plane facelift is recommended for:

  • Prominent nasolabial folds/smile lines
  • Drooping cheeks
  • Marionette lines
  • Jowls
  • Loss of jawline definition
  • Poor facial contour.

Along with a neck lift, autologous fat transfer, eyelid surgery, or other facial rejuvenation procedures, it can provide comprehensive, desired outcomes.

Why is the Deep Plane Facelift the Most Preferred Facelift Technique?


A Deep Plane Facelift offers the following benefits, which is why it is in high demand over other alternatives:

  • Creation of a smoother transition between the lower and mid-face
  • Targeted, at-source correction of ageing skin concerns
  • Natural restoration of youthful facial volume/contours
  • Preserving of natural facial expressions and movements
  • Effective lifting of sagging mid-face
  • Safe combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures
  • Softening of deep smile lines and marionette lines
  • Better jawline definition
  • Jowls reduction
  • Long-lasting outcomes
  • More discreet healing of scars.

What Patient Profile is Best-Suited for a Deep Plane Facelift?

An ideal candidate profile includes:

  • Noticeable facial aging concerns that don’t respond to non-surgical or injectable treatments
  • Prominent nasolabial folds or marionette lines
  • Good overall health and no medical issues that could interfere with surgery
  • Realistic expectation of what the procedure can provide
  • Age between 40 and 70 years
  • Sagging or sunken mid-face
  • Significant jowls
  • Loose neck skin
  • No habit of smoking.

A personalised consultation with a facial plastic surgeon can help determine whether a deep plane facelift will be worth an investment for you.

How is a Deep Plane Facelift Performed?

The procedure involves lifting and repositioning the deeper facial tissues responsible for age-related sagging, helping restore facial volume, redefine jawline, and improve the neck without creating a tight or overdone appearance.

Here are the general steps involved:

01

1. Initial, Comprehensive Consultation

The surgeon thoroughly evaluates the patient’s facial structure, extent of ageing, skin quality, medical records, and aesthetic goals to develop the best surgical plan.

02

2. Anaesthesia

A deep plane facelift is a highly invasive procedure, so to ensure maximum comfort, it is usually done under the effect of general anaesthesia or intravenous sedation.

03

3. Incision placement

The surgeon carefully makes cuts within the hairline or around the natural ear contour, in hidden areas, so that incision scars stay hidden.

04

4. Deep Plane Dissection

Through the incisions, the surgeon carefully releases the deep-seated ligaments and elevates the SMAS layer and overlying skin without placing excessive tension on the skin. 

05

5. Tissue Repositioning

The surgeon carefully repositions and elevates the descended facial tissues to restore lost volume, improve definition, and soften deep folds/creases. If needed, the neck tissues are even tightened to improve overall facial balance.

06

6. Skin Redraping and Incision Closure

After the underlying tissues are repositioned and lifted, the surgeon carefully redrapes the overlying skin and excises excess skin. Lastly, the surgeon closes the incision using fine sutures and may cover the operated area with a sterile dressing.

The entire surgery takes 3-6 hours, depending on the complexity of the procedures and the number of procedures performed.

What is Recovery Like After Deep Plane Facelift Surgery?

For every patient, the recovery phase is slightly variable. Strict adherence to the surgeon’s recommended aftercare plan ensures expected results and smooth recovery.

Here’s the typical recovery timeline:

  • First 2 days: There will be slight swelling, bruising, tightness, and some discomfort.
  • In First Week: Dressings will be removed, and swelling and bruising will start to subside.
  • In Second Week: Light physical activities or a desk job can be resumed. The face will start to look naturally more refreshed.
  • In Three to Six Weeks: The bruising disappears, swelling is minimal, and facial contours improve.
  • In Three to Six Months: The desired results become apparent, and incision scars mature and become less visible.
     

How to Prepare for Deep Plane Facelift Surgery?

During the initial consultation, the surgeon provides a detailed list of instructions to follow in the days leading up to the time of the surgery.

General pre-operative instructions include:

  • Go for a thorough pre-operative evaluation
  • Quit smoking at least 4 weeks prior to the procedure 
  • Avoid intake of blood thinners, including alcohol
  • Do overnight fasting, as instructed by the surgeon
  • Keep your body well hydrated and nourished to support natural healing
  • Ensure the surgeon is informed about medications, supplements, and any allergies
  • Look for someone to take you home after surgery and support during initial, at-home healing.

What Post-Operative Care Instructions Have to be Followed after Deep Plane Facelift Surgery?

Here are the general aftercare instructions:

  • Avoid strenuous activities, weight lifting, forward bending, and excessive facial movements
  • Eat healthily and ensure enough hydration
  • Avoid aggressive cosmetic procedures or massages
  • Attend all follow-up appointments with the surgeon
  • Complete the course of prescribed medications
  • Sleep with head raised over pillows for a few weeks
  • Practice proper incision wound care
  • Avoid bad lifestyle habits
  • Keep the healing areas UV-protected.

These instructions, when strictly followed, can help avoid complications and ensure quicker, more comfortable healing.
