What is the Deep Plane cervico-facial lift?

The Deep Plane facelift is a major development in cosmetic surgery. Unlike traditional techniques that focus solely on the skin, the Deep Plane facelift acts deep down on the underlying facial structures, notably the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System) and muscle tissues.

Benefits of the Deep Plane technique:

  • Natural results: The face retains its mobility and expression, without a frozen effect.
  • Long-lasting correction: Tightening the muscles ensures that results last longer.
  • Overall improvement: Simultaneously treats sagging of the lower face, cheeks and neck.
  • Rapid recovery: Less invasive technique with optimized healing.

Indications for Deep Plane Cervico-Facial Lifting

This procedure is ideal for patients who wish to correct:

  • Sagging skin on the face and neck.
  • Jowls or weakening of the jawline.
  • Weakened cheekbones and cheeks.
  • Deep folds between the nose and mouth (nasolabial folds).

It is suitable for both women and men, generally aged 40 and over, depending on the degree of sagging.

Procedure

1. Pre-operative consultation

During your consultation in Antibes, we will analyze your facial morphology and expectations. We also welcome patients from Nice, Cannes and the surrounding area. A personalized surgical plan will be drawn up, taking into account your medical history and aesthetic needs.

2. Anesthesia

The Deep Plane facelift is performed under general anesthesia, to ensure optimal comfort.

3. Procedure

  • Discreet incisions: These are made at the hairline and around the ears, making them virtually invisible after healing.
  • Re-tensioning: Deep tissues (SMAS) are repositioned to restore the face’s natural volumes.
  • Excess skin: The skin is re-draped without excessive tension, avoiding any artificial appearance.
  • Duration: The procedure lasts approximately 3 hours.

4. Post-operative course

  • Moderate swelling and bruising for 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Resumption of social activities: 10 to 14 days after surgery.
  • Visible results as early as 3 weeks, with continuous improvement over several months.

Expected results

  • A rejuvenated, natural, harmonious face.
  • Reshaped facial contours.
  • Smooth, firm skin without excess tension.

Results are long-lasting, lasting around ten years depending on skin quality and lifestyle.
