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 in NYC 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.

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:

Sagging facial skin
Drooping cheeks
Deep, etched-in smile lines
Jowls
Sagging jawline
Vertical neck bands
Double chin fat
Neck fat deposits

Candidates should be in good physical and mental health and should ideally be non-smokers or willing to quit temporarily around the time of surgery. A consultation with Dr. Singh is the first step in determining if this procedure is right for you. He will assess your unique facial structure and discuss your aesthetic goals to customize the procedure and achieve optimal results.

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.
