Surgical Excellence You Can Trust

The deep plane facelift—so named due to a technique that involves repositioning of the deeper muscles and tissues of the face—is a great way to address targeted facial aging. Over the years, it’s quite common to notice that your facial appearance has begun to sag or droop. This can not only rob us of our youthful look all on its own, but it can also cause the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other indications that aging is taking place. The deep plane facelift gives you the ability to address these issues with a comprehensive procedure that will turn back the clock, restoring your look and your sense of self-confidence right along with it. If you’re interested in learning more about how Dr. Shapiro can help you with the deep plane facelift, reach out and set up your consultation today.

The Deep Plane Facelift Experience

Extended Results

Our patients love the deep plane lift for its ability to create lasting results that will rejuvenate your facial appearance for years to come. By addressing facial sagging and lost volume at the deepest levels of your musculature and facial tissues, Dr. Shapiro is able to create a more youthful look that still appears naturalistic and harmonious.

A Less Invasive Approach

By adjusting what is known as the “SMAS” layer (or superficial musculoaponeurotic system), the deep plane technique involves direct manipulation of your face’s underlying tissue structure. This technique treats the SMAS layer and your skin at the same time, with a united approach that sees you enjoying a smoother, more youthful look.

Precise Results

Your deep plane facelift will be performed under general anesthesia, and Dr. Shapiro will advise you of all the details of your surgical plan before your surgery. You’ll know exactly what to expect in terms of incision placement, and how he will approach the creation of your results, so you can rest assured at all times.

Facial Rejuvenation

During the surgery, Dr. Shapiro will expertly lift and reposition your facial tissues and underlying muscle structure, releasing ligaments and bringing your SMAS layer into a more harmonious and pleasing position. Any excess skin will be removed before the incisions are expertly closed and you spend some time resting in our recovery area.
