The Deep Plane Facelift versus traditional facelift surgery
The traditional approach to improving the appearance of skin and features that have sagged with age is to smooth the facial skin by stretching it up towards the hairline and then trimming away excess skin.
This technique will reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and tighten the skin. However, traditional facelifts can give the face an overly stretched or taut appearance, which can look unnatural.
Rather than focusing on the skin alone, the deep plane facelift also addresses the deeper tissues.
In this cosmetic surgical procedure, the underlying supporting ligaments, facial muscles, deeper tissues, and skin are lifted together. This allows the skin to remain mobile, giving a far more natural result than simply stretching it.

What does a deep plane facelift procedure involve?
Deep plane facelift surgery takes around four hours and is performed under general anaesthetic or sedation.
Your cosmetic surgeon will make discreet incisions around the hairline and ears. The incisions will give access to the deeper tissues and structures to be lifted.
During the surgery, the surgeon will remove excess skin, tighten surrounding muscles and recontour the features by manipulating the underlying ligaments to give a smoother and more youthful facial appearance.
Excess fat can also be removed, and glands can be reduced in size to give the neck and jawline a more youthful profile.
The incisions are closed with sutures.
Why do the results of this type of facelift look so natural?
The deep plane face lift addresses all the layers of skin and muscles that are affected by ageing while retaining the mobility of the facial features.
This type of facial cosmetic surgery enhances the face’s natural beauty without changing its character, leaving our Sheffield patients looking like a refreshed version of themselves.
The benefits of surgery are so advanced that the deep plane face lift is the industry gold standard.
Am I a good candidate for facelift surgery?
If you are dissatisfied with your appearance due to the effects of ageing in the mid and lower face area and want to look fresher and younger, then a deep plane facelift may be right for you.
All our Sheffield patients consult with a plastic surgeon before any surgical procedure is recommended. We always ensure that patients understand what can be achieved with surgery and what their recovery will involve.
We take a detailed medical history from every potential patient to ensure that you are fit and healthy enough to make a full recovery after your surgical procedure.

How long is the recovery period after a facelift procedure?
There will be bruising and swelling after your facelift surgery, but this will gradually disappear. Our Sheffield patients usually find that simple pain relief is sufficient to control any discomfort.
Your first post-surgical appointment will be at the Coppergate Clinic a week after your procedure. The healing of your incisions will be checked, and the sutures will be removed.
It may take a few months for postoperative puffiness to disappear completely, but soon, you will see the benefits in your rejuvenated appearance.
Can I combine any other cosmetic procedures with a facelift?
Many of our Sheffield patients combine their deep plane facelift with other cosmetic procedures to provide even more beauty benefits.
The eye area is not addressed in a facelift procedure. Blepharoplasty surgery, an eyelid lift, smoothes away lines and removes eyebags to revitalise the eye area. A brow lift is also a popular option.
We advise most patients to have a neck lift at the same time as their facelift surgery to provide better definition around the neck and jaw.
You can discuss complementary procedures at your pre-operative consultation.
How long will the benefits of plastic surgery last?
This innovative plastic surgery will make your face look between 7 and fifteen years younger.
However, aesthetic plastic surgery cannot stop time, and your face will continue to age. We advise patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle and protect their skin from the sun to preserve the benefits of surgery for as long as possible.
Many of our Sheffield patients choose from our non-surgical and surgical procedures to maintain their youthful appearance.
