The deep plane facelift is an advanced surgical technique designed to deliver comprehensive and remarkably enduring rejuvenation. With this sophisticated technique, the surgeon works beneath the facial muscles to provide a more complete lift for a naturally refreshed, youthful appearance that doesn't look "pulled" or "tight."

If you are seeking a transformative solution to address deeper signs of facial aging, contact our team for a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Pero and find out if this procedure is right for you.

A deep plane facelift is a highly effective facial rejuvenation procedure that goes beyond traditional facelift methods. Unlike techniques that primarily address the skin or the superficial muscle layer (SMAS) separately, the deep-plane technique involves dissecting and lifting the skin and SMAS layer together as a cohesive unit.

This allows Dr. Pero to release key facial ligaments, enabling a more significant repositioning of sagging deep tissues and tightening the cheekbones, jawline, and neck. The result is a powerful, yet remarkably natural-looking lift that truly revitalizes your facial structure from within.

When looking for a profound facial rejuvenation option, a deep-plane facelift with a skilled surgeon like Dr. Colin Pero offers several distinct advantages.

• More Complete & Authentically Natural Lift: The extensive dissection during a deep plane facelift allows Dr. Pero to comprehensively address volume loss and sagging in the mid-face and cheeks. By releasing and repositioning the deeper facial structures, the lift is achieved without placing undue tension on the skin. This approach results in a smoother, more youthful contour that looks entirely natural, avoiding the "wind-swept" appearance sometimes associated with older techniques.

• Longer-Lasting, Enduring Results: The deep plane facelift anchors the lift in the stronger, deeper tissues of the face rather than relying on skin tension. This means results are notably more durable and long-lasting. You can enjoy your rejuvenated appearance for many years to come.
• Significant Improvement in Jawline & Neck: This technique is excellent for correcting jowling, sagging along the jawline, and neck laxity. By restoring the youthful position of deeper tissues, Dr. Pero can sculpt a more defined jawline and a smoother, more elegant neck profile.
• Effectively Addresses Advanced Signs of Aging: If you are experiencing more pronounced signs of facial aging, such as deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and significant cheek descent, the deep plane facelift offers a powerful and effective solution.

The best way to determine if a deep plane facelift is right for you is through a personal consultation with Dr. Colin Pero. However, ideal candidates typically share several characteristics:

• Moderate to significant facial sagging, particularly in the mid-face, around the jowls, and in the neck.
• Good overall physical and mental health.
• Non-smokers or willing to cease smoking well before and after surgery to ensure optimal healing.
• Realistic expectations about the outcomes of facial plastic surgery
• Concerned about deep nasolabial folds, pronounced marionette lines, sagging cheeks, jowls, neck bands, and excess neck skin.

All surgical procedures carry inherent risks. At North Texas Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Pero prioritizes your safety and will discuss all risks in detail during your consultation.

General surgical risks typically include infection, bleeding, hematoma (collection of blood), seroma (collection of fluid), adverse reaction to anesthesia, poor wound healing, and unfavorable scarring.

The deep-plane technique involves working near facial nerves. There is an increased risk of temporary nerve weakness or, very rarely, paralysis of facial muscles. It's important to understand that this is almost always temporary, manifesting as numbness, tingling, or slight muscle weakness that resolves over time.

Dr. Pero's profound understanding of facial anatomy, as a dual board-certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Otolaryngologist (ENT), combined with his careful surgical technique, ensure that the risk is minimized.

Choosing a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with specific experience in deep-plane facelifts is the most critical step you can take to ensure your safety and achieve optimal, natural-looking results.
