The deep plane face-lift, a subplatysmal technique, offers predictable facial rejuvenation. This study found 97% patient satisfaction with minimal complications, improving jowls and necklines.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Facial Anatomy
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • The deep plane rhytidectomy, a subplatysmal face-lift technique, was introduced in the 1970s.
  • It relies on anatomical principles for tissue mobilization, advancement, and repair.
  • The technique involves wide undermining in a subplatysmal plane to create a large cheek flap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of the deep plane face-lift technique.
  • To assess patient satisfaction and complication rates associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 100 patients undergoing deep plane face-lifts.
  • Postoperative evaluations at 1 week, 1 month, and 6 months.
  • Patient questionnaires and photographic analysis were used for assessment at 6 months.

Main Results:

  • A low rate of hematomas, with none occurring under the cheek flap.
  • No persistent facial irregularities, paralysis, or paresis were reported.
  • Ninety-seven percent of patients expressed satisfaction with the aesthetic results.

Conclusions:

  • The deep plane face-lift, combined with cervical undermining and platysmal plication, provides predictable facial and neck rejuvenation.
  • The technique demonstrates a favorable safety profile and high patient satisfaction.
  • This method effectively addresses aging concerns in the jowl and melolabial fold areas.
