The deep plane face and neck lift has become the gold standard in facial rejuvenation because it targets the true source of aging: the deeper structural layers of the face. While traditional facelifts focus on tightening skin or adjusting the superficial SMAS layer, the deep plane technique works beneath the SMAS—where the facial ligaments and deeper fat pads live—to create results that are both natural and long-lasting.
Why the Deep Plane Works Better
As we age, the facial ligaments that anchor our tissues stretch and weaken. This leads to midface descent, deepened nasolabial folds, jowls, and neck laxity. Traditional facelifts cannot fully correct these issues because they don’t address the deeper anatomical changes.
When Dr. Costeloe performs the deep plane face and neck lift, she directly releases and repositions these deeper ligaments and tissues, allowing her to:
- Elevate the midface and restore cheek volume
- Smooth nasolabial folds
- Redefine the jawline and eliminate jowls
- Improve the neck by working with the platysma muscle
- Maintain natural, mobile facial expressions
By lifting the deeper layers as a single unit, the result is a tension-free, vertical repositioning that restores youthful contours without the tight or “pulled” appearance.
Why Patients Prefer the Deep Plane
- Most comprehensive and longest lasting rejuvenation of the face and neck
- Natural-looking lift without the “pulled” appearance
- Longer-lasting results because deeper structures are repositioned
- Effective for patients with significant jowling and/or nasolabial deep folds
- Excellent for younger patients, who benefit from early structural support and long lasting results
