Signs of age appear on the face in the form of sagging skin, wrinkles, lines and creases, and jowls. Dr. Engineer performs a deep plane facelift for patients who would like to reverse these signs of age. His deep plane facelift is one of the most effective types of facelifts available. Deep plane facelifts help to restore your youthful, defined features, to achieve natural-looking, dramatic effects.
A deep plane facelift is designed to define and lift the features by addressing the underlying muscle and connective tissue in a unique way. This network of muscle and connective tissue under the skin, but above the muscle, is called the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). The SMAS forms the framework and underlying structure of the face. A deep plane facelift tightens and lifts the SMAS to achieve dramatic, youthful rejuvenation.
Before your surgical procedure, you will undergo general anesthesia. Once this has taken effect, Dr. Engineer will make careful, precise incisions around the ears to ensure scarring is kept to an absolute minimum. He will use these incisions to tighten and lift the SMAS, addressing a wider range of tissue than any other type of facelift does. This also allows him to achieve the most significant results.
As a part of the procedure, Dr. Engineer releases the four ligaments that anchor the facial muscles and pulls them downward. These ligaments cause a drooping, sagging appearance to the face. When Dr. Engineer releases the ligament, a beautiful lift is achieved. This creates more significant results than a traditional facelift that focuses only on the surface tissues and skin.
A deep plane facelift tightens, lifts, and defines the facial features, achieving a natural-looking, youthful appearance. Deep plane facelift results also last longer than other types of facelifts, providing outstanding results for patients that last as long as 10-15 years.
Because a deep plane facelift causes less trauma than most other types of facelifts, the recovery period is often shorter. Over the first several days, swelling and bruising will increase, and then begin to reduce and continually subside. Let yourself rest and heal during the first couple of weeks.
If drains were placed, these will be removed after the first week. Many patients can return to sedentary work and light activities after 10 to 14 days. However, it’s important to wait for 4-6 weeks to return to vigorous exercise or activity.
Patients who are experiencing more severe or advanced signs of age are usually ideal candidates for a deep plane facelift. At the same time, patients whose signs of aging are less significant can also greatly benefit from this procedure.
Dr. Engineer will determine if you’re an ideal candidate after a consultation, during which he will examine your skin and discuss your goals for aesthetic improvement. Generally, candidates for a facelift in Las Vegas should meet the following requirements:
