Introduction:
Facelift procedures maintain a central role in facial rejuvenation and require a balance between safety, efficacy and natural outcomes.
Material And Methods:
In this article, the authors describe their approach to deep plane facelift, based on their knowledge of facial anatomy and dynamics of facial aging. They emphasize the cohesive mesoface unit comprised of skin, subcutaneous fat and the mesoface fat pad. They describe their approach to the deep plane face lift focusing on repositioning of the mesoface fat pad with limited undermining.
Results:
The authors performed 864 facelifts over the last 5 years with 0 nerve complications and 37 hematomas reported. The results were considered harmonious and appeared durable, with the technique tailored to each patient's anatomy and addressing the natural descent of the face.
Conclusion:
The described facelift technique is a deep plane facelift tailored to each individual patient with anatomical preservation.
