Deep Plane Facelift
Manhattan
What is a deep plane facelift?
A deep plane facelift in Manhattan is a facial rejuvenation procedure that lifts and repositions the deeper muscles, fat, and connective tissues rather than relying on tension placed on the skin. By working beneath the SMAS layer, Dr. Ramesh can restore youthful positioning of the cheeks, soften deep facial folds, improve jowls, and create greater definition along your jawline and neck while allowing the overlying skin to settle naturally without an overly tight appearance.
What are the benefits of a deep plane facelift?
- More natural-looking facial rejuvenation without an overly tight appearance
- Improved definition along the jawline and neck
- Lifting of sagging cheeks and deeper facial tissues
- Softening of deep folds and creases around the lower face
- More comprehensive correction of moderate to advanced facial aging
- Reduced tension on the skin and facelift incisions
- Longer-lasting rejuvenation compared with more superficial lifting techniques
- Preservation of your natural facial character and proportions
Why choose Dr. Deepak Ramesh?
Dr. Deepak Ramesh is a board-certified oculofacial plastic surgeon with advanced training in facial rejuvenation. After completing a two-year oculofacial, orbital, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgery fellowship at UCLA’s Jules Stein Eye Institute, he pursued dedicated face and neck lift training under Dr. Jonathan Hoenig and other respected Los Angeles surgeons.
Dr. Ramesh approaches deep plane facelift surgery with your individual anatomy and facial character in mind. Rather than simply tightening the skin, he carefully repositions deeper facial tissues to restore youthful contours. His goal is harmonious rejuvenation that preserves what makes you recognizable, helping you look refreshed rather than tight, altered, or “done.”
How is deep plane facelift performed?
Dr. Ramesh begins by making carefully placed incisions around your ears and along the hairline, where resulting scars can remain discreet. He then works beneath the SMAS, the supportive tissue layer covering the facial muscles, and releases key retaining ligaments that contribute to descended facial tissues. This allows the deeper muscles, fat, and connective tissues to move together rather than relying on tension placed on your skin.
Dr. Ramesh then lifts and repositions these deeper tissues to restore your cheeks, soften facial folds and jowls, and improve definition. When needed, he can remove or redistribute excess fat and address your neck through an incision beneath the chin. Finally, your skin is redraped over the rejuvenated contours, excess skin is removed, and the incisions are carefully closed.
Deep plane facelift FAQs
How long does a deep plane facelift last?
A facelift cannot stop the natural aging process, but repositioning the deeper facial tissues can provide long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Your skin quality, genetics, lifestyle, and ongoing aging can all influence how your results evolve over time.
What is recovery like after a deep plane facelift in Manhattan?
Bruising and swelling are expected after surgery. You should begin looking more like yourself after about two weeks, although residual swelling and tissue tightness can persist longer. Healing continues gradually for several months as your facial tissues settle.
Will my face look tight or unnatural?
Dr. Ramesh focuses on repositioning the deeper facial tissues rather than simply pulling your skin tighter. His goal is to restore youthful contours while preserving your natural expressions, proportions, and recognizable facial character.
