Restore youthful definition with a deep plane facelift, curated to treat sagging skin and deep-set facial wrinkles. Performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, this technique rejuvenates deeper structures for natural, lasting results.
A deep plane facelift is an advanced facial rejuvenation procedure that corrects aging at its structural source, not just at the skin level. Instead of simply tightening skin, this technique repositions the deeper facial muscles and fat pads to restore natural contours in the cheeks, jawline, and mid-face. A deep plane facelift in Gilbert is especially effective for treating significant sagging, deep folds, and loss of definition while avoiding an over-pulled look. The result is balanced, natural-looking rejuvenation that ages gracefully over time.
DrSkin is Arizona’s most complete aesthetic practice, where we combine advanced surgical expertise with regenerative and non-surgical innovation under one roof. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, our team approaches every deep plane facelift with precision, personalization, and long-term vision.
Rather than focusing on a single procedure, we evaluate your full facial structure and aging pattern to create a comprehensive plan. This integrated model ensures your results look balanced and aligned with your overall aesthetic goals.
Your consultation for a deep plane facelift begins with a detailed conversation about your concerns, goals, and medical history. Clinical photographs are taken, and your facial structure, skin quality, and tissue descent are carefully evaluated. Dr. Jaiswal personally reviews your facial anatomy, explains whether you’re a candidate, and outlines a customized surgical plan.
Your deep plane facelift is performed by Dr. Jaiswal under general anesthesia. He makes carefully concealed incisions along the temples, around the ears, and sometimes slightly into the hairline. He lifts the skin along with the underlying SMAS layer (the facial support structure) as a single unit, then releases the retaining ligaments in the mid-face, allowing the descended cheek fat and muscle to be repositioned upward to a youthful position. Excess skin is then conservatively trimmed, and the incisions are closed with fine sutures.
Following a deep plane facelift, it’s normal to experience swelling, bruising, firmness, and mild soreness, especially during the first 7 to 14 days. Most visible bruising fades within two weeks, while swelling continues to improve over four to six weeks. You can typically return to desk work and social activities in about two to three weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for six to eight weeks. The final results continue to refine over three to six months.
A deep plane facelift is known for its longevity because it corrects aging at the structural level. While the procedure does not stop the natural aging process, most patients enjoy results that last 15 to 20 years. Because deeper muscles and fat pads are repositioned rather than relying on skin tension, the face continues to age in a more natural, balanced way over time.
No. One of the main advantages of a deep plane facelift is that it avoids the pulled or windswept look associated with older facelift techniques. By lifting the deeper layers and redraping the skin without tension, your results look refreshed, rested, and natural. Still you, just more youthful.
The incisions are carefully placed along the hairline and around the natural creases of the ears to keep scars discreet. Over time, scars typically fade to a thin, light line that blends well with the surrounding skin. Most patients find that their scars are difficult to notice once fully healed.
