The Global Facelift

No matter where you are in the world right now, I’m sending you good wishes.
Today I’m going to share before and after photos of the Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift, a procedure that is now performed by highly skilled surgeons around the world.
I was the first to introduce the Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift to Australia and now teach other surgeons as an invited speaker at international and local conferences.
Change begins within
The Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift repositions soft tissues below the SMAS layer, releasing them from the underlying muscles and reattaching them at higher anchor points. Deep plane techniques allow the whole face to be lifted, giving better definition to the jaw, neck and cheekbones.
Compared with other face and neck lift techniques, there is usually less downtime or swelling. There is not the ‘wind-tunnel’ look that’s associated with less advanced techniques as the changes are at a deeper level, and don’t rely on pulling of the skin.

These photos show my patient before (L) and one year after (R) the Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift.
Not every surgeon can perform this advanced technique.
