IN VOGUE: Deep Plane Facelift Surgery

Deep Plane Facelift surgery is on trend - type it into a search engine and suddenly more plastic and aesthetic surgeons are listing it as a part of their offerings. When I started offering Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery in Australia a decade ago, it was virtually unheard of. Only a few surgeons in the world were practicing this method. Some people even recommended I rename it as they thought that prospective patients could be put off by the term “deep plane”, not realising that the method was superior - with less downtime and longer lasting results. Because Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery repositions and re-tensions the patient’s own ligaments, there is less swelling compared with other facelift techniques as there is less disturbance of the lymphatics. There is also less visible scaring.

Not any surgeon can do this.

Be aware. It takes superior knowledge of facial anatomy, advanced training, and time to develop the expertise to perform Deep Plane Facelift surgery. I learned from Dr Neil Gordon, Director of Aesthetic Head and Neck Surgery at Yale School of Medicine. You can read more about my decades of education, training, and experience here. Nowadays, I am invited to offer my knowledge and insights to other surgeons on this technique at local and international surgical specialty meetings. By far, the most rewarding aspect for me about performing Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery is the feedback I receive from my patients. As more people have now heard of Deep Plane Facelift surgery, prospective patients now ask me about it. Some may have read about it in a magazine or done their research by browsing online. What you need to know is that not every surgeon who says that they can perform Deep Plane Facelift surgery is experienced. Be aware and take care. While they may be jumping on board with what’s on trend – it’s a technique that can’t be finessed overnight. Although more plastic and aesthetic surgeons are now learning, there is still only a small group of elite surgeons experienced in performing Deep Plane Facelift surgery worldwide, including in Australia. If you’re considering Deep Plane Face and Necklift Surgery - or simply exploring your options - please book a consultation (with a referral from your GP). I’ll provide you with a thorough, honest, and personalised assessment.
