Sometimes plain facelift aren’t just enough. You may go through several treatments to add to that. Rhytidectomy as the deep plane facelift is medically known, has more to offer than the usual facelift and skin rejuvenation procedures that many clinics advertise.
What is Deep Plane Facelift?
This procedure has long lasting effects as compared to the usual facelift. The procedure makes use of soft facial tissue repositioning to lift the whole face. Yes, it addresses the whole face and not just the upper or superficial layer of the skin. The procedure accentuates your neck, your jaw as well as your cheekbones.
Deep plane facelift does not only address the SMAS layer of the skin or the submusculoaponeurotic system. It goes deeper beneath it. The level beneath the SMAS is muscles, nerves and other structures. It is most advisable for older people as the effect will really be visible. But don’t despair, younger people can benefit from it too.
