What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?

Unlike traditional facelifts, a deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the deeper layers of facial tissue as one unit. By releasing and mobilizing these foundational structures, the deep plane technique lifts the entire face and neck harmoniously, creating a smoother, more refreshed look without the “pulled” effect. 

The result? A youthful, rested appearance that still looks like you—just years younger. 

Are You a Good Deep Plane Facelift Candidate?

You might be a great candidate for a deep plane facelift if: 

• You have sagging skin or jowling around your jawline and cheeks
• You want a natural yet transformative improvement
• You’re looking for long-lasting results
• You’re healthy enough for twilight anesthesia (IV sedation)

The best way to know for sure? Schedule a one-on-one consultation at Réviance Portland. Dr. Chan will assess your goals and create a customized treatment plan for you. 

How Dr. Chan Performs the Procedure

Performed under twilight anesthesia (IV sedation) for your safety and comfort, this procedure includes: 

• Small, well-concealed incisions around the ears and under the chin 
• Lifting and repositioning the deep tissue layers, not just the skin 
• No need for surgical drains in most cases 

This technique allows for more natural movement, longer-lasting results, and faster healing. 

Deep Plane Facelift vs Mini Facelift: What’s the Difference?

While both procedures tighten the deeper muscle layer, a deep plane facelift offers:

• More comprehensive lifting of the midface, jawline, and neck 
• A seamless, natural look by lifting tissues as a single unit 
• Longer-lasting results 
• Comfortable twilight anesthesia (IV sedation) 

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery is smoother than you might expect. Even though each patient’s healing process is unique, this is a general recovery timeline following a deep plane facelift:

• 10–14 days of social downtime 
• Return to full activity in 3–4 weeks 
• Best results visible in about 1 month — perfect timing for photos or special events 

You’ll look refreshed, not overdone—and feel confident in your appearance again. 

Combining Treatments for Enhanced Results

Want a more complete transformation? Many patients choose to pair their facelift with: 

• Eyelid surgery for a brighter, more open eye area 
• Laser skin resurfacing for smoother, glowing skin 
• Fat grafting to restore youthful volume to the cheeks or temples 

Dr. Chan tailors a plan for your needs during your personalized consultation.
