What is a Deep Plane Facelift?

The Deep Plane Facelift is the “gold standard” in facial rejuvenation, offering refreshed and natural results that can last longer than older, more traditional methods. Unlike some facelifts that can leave a pulled, unnatural look, Dr. Mansher Singh’s approach works within the deeper layers of the face, targeting the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) and the muscles beneath. By releasing these underlying structures and repositioning facial tissue, Dr. Singh achieves a youthful, heart-shaped facial contour that looks natural and avoids the overly tight, “worked-on” appearance.

What is the Procedure?

Dr. Singh’s Deep Plane Facelift begins with small, strategically placed incisions in front of the ears. Through these, he works beneath the SMAS layer, carefully releasing key ligaments that cause sagging and drooping, such as the zygomatic ligaments (responsible for sagging cheeks and nasolabial folds) and the masseteric and mandibular ligaments (which contribute to jowls and a sagging jawline).

This meticulous approach allows Dr. Singh to lift and reposition the facial tissues to create a very refreshed, youthful appearance. To further enhance the results, Dr. Singh may additionally perform an extended neck lift, addressing the deeper layers of the neck (platysma) to create elegant harmony between the face and neck. This combination of techniques not only rejuvenates the mid-to-lower face but also ensures a smooth, natural transition between the face and neck.

Dr. Singh has been terrific. My deep plane face lift is already looking awesome, and it has only been 2.5 weeks since the surgery. Dr. Singh and Danielle are so kind. My neck and jawline look so crisp, and I cant wait to see the final results. His aftercare is the best you can hope for.

A Safer Procedure: Awake Facelift

Dr. Singh’s preference for performing this procedure under local anesthesia (Awake Facelift) further sets him apart. This method reduces the risks associated with general anesthesia, offering patients a safer and more comfortable experience with speeded recovery times.

What Are the Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift?

The Deep Plane Facelift is widely regarded as the most effective and longest-lasting facelift technique available today. Dr. Singh’s approach offers several key benefits:

Superior Results

Achieves a more natural, youthful look by addressing the deeper facial structures, not just the skin.

Long-Lasting Effects

Provides results that stand the test of time, maintaining a youthful appearance for years.

Minimal Scarring

Incisions are carefully hidden within the hairline and behind the ears, resulting in barely visible scars.

Enhanced Facial Harmony

The extended neck lift and deep plane technique work together to rejuvenate the entire face and neck, creating a balanced, harmonious appearance.

Does a Deep Plane Facelift Have Risks?

While the Deep Plane Facelift is among the most advanced and safest facial cosmetic procedures, it is still surgery, and some risks remain. Common side effects include bruising and swelling, which subside with time. Rare complications such as bleeding and temporary nerve injury typically resolve within a few weeks. With Dr. Singh’s expertise, you can undergo a Deep Plane Facelift in NYC without general anesthesia, a safer procedure with minimized health risks.

Are You a Candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

A Deep Plane Facelift is ideal for both men and women experiencing significant signs of aging, such as:

Deep Plane Facelift vs SMAS Facelift

The SMAS facelift, a widespread technique in America, involves lifting and suturing the SMAS layer but often falls short in addressing the lower third of the face. This method may require fat grafting, sometimes leading to an unnatural, “overstuffed” appearance. In contrast, the Deep Plane Facelift relocates the fat and fascia without additional fat grafting, producing a more natural and balanced rejuvenation of the cheeks and jowls.

What makes a Deep Plane Facelift different from other facelift techniques?

Unlike traditional SMAS facelifts that lift only the superficial muscle layer, a Deep Plane Facelift releases and repositions deeper facial structures. This technique allows for more natural, longer-lasting results—especially in the midface and jawline—without creating a pulled or overfilled look.

Am I a good candidate for a Deep Plane Facelift?

Ideal candidates are generally in their 40s to 70s and experience sagging skin, deep folds, or jowls. You should be in good health, a non-smoker (or willing to quit), and have realistic expectations for surgical outcomes.

Is the Deep Plane Facelift painful?

Discomfort is typically minimal and well-managed with prescribed medication. Because Dr. Singh often performs this surgery under local anesthesia (Awake Facelift), patients experience less post-operative grogginess and a faster, smoother recovery.

How long is the recovery period after a Deep Plane Facelift?

Most patients return to normal activities within 10–14 days. Bruising and swelling gradually subside over a few weeks, with final results continuing to refine over several months. Dr. Singh provides close, personalized follow-up during the healing process.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are strategically placed along natural contours, such as around the ears and within the hairline, making them very discreet. Over time, these scars fade and are often nearly invisible.

How long do the results of a Deep Plane Facelift last?

Results can last 10 years or longer, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper skincare. The technique’s durability is one of its most significant advantages over traditional facelifts.

Can I combine a Deep Plane Facelift with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients enhance their results by combining the facelift with procedures like eyelid surgery, brow lift, chin liposuction, or laser resurfacing. Dr. Singh will help you design a comprehensive plan tailored to your facial goals.
