Deep Plane Face and Necklift Surgery

by | Oct 23, 2021 | Blog

Well performed, facial plastic surgery is very much about tailoring to the individual, while keeping things in balance and harmony. Making even small changes to one area of the face impacts on the overall symmetry. Facial plastic surgery is complex and requires expertise to perform well. An aesthetic sensibility, advanced knowledge of facial anatomy and surgical skill are all prerequisites. I’ve been practicing facial plastic surgery for decades and over this time I’ve seen a lot of changes in the approach, expectations and outcomes for patients. Not every approach to facelifting provides results that are in proportion. Nobody wants to emerge from a procedure looking like they have had ‘work’ done. Excessive pulling of the skin where someone looks like they have been through a wind tunnel, and frozen, is thankfully not as commonly seen these days as in days gone by. But there are still countless examples of unsatisfactory outcomes – either due to poor technique, inferior approach, a less experienced surgeon or unexpected complications. An experienced and skilled surgeon is able to select from multiple techniques available and advise on the best approach for the individual. Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery is the most advanced approach and one performed by relatively few surgeons worldwide. In my experience, it offers more predictable outcomes than other approaches,
Recovery time is less, and scarring is less visible (incisions are made by the hairline which is easily covered).  The patient’s own ligaments are re-tensioned and repositioned. Photos and videos in this blog post show a patient before and two weeks after Deep Plane Face and Necklift surgery with Dr. George Marcells. 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.
