What Facelift Technique is Right for You?

A facelift is one of the most popular and effective ways to rejuvenate an aging face. It addresses common concerns like drooping, jowls, and a sagging neck, restoring a more youthful and refreshed appearance. While various facelift techniques exist, a Deep Plane Facelift produces a far more natural-looking outcome with lasting results. Every facelift in NYC performed by Dr. Singh is a collaboration between the patient and the doctor, performed with meticulous attention to detail.

Deep Plane Facelift

Achieve a more youthful, natural-looking outcome in facial rejuvenation with the Deep Plane Facelift. This advanced technique is now the gold standard in facial rejuvenation, with the added benefit of long-lasting results that look and feel effortless.

Unlike traditional techniques that primarily focus on the skin, the Deep Plane Facelift targets the deeper layers of the face, specifically the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System) in the face and the Platysma in the neck. The technique delivers a more comprehensive lift by lifting and tightening these critical foundational structures, resulting in a natural, youthful appearance.

SMAS Facelift vs. Deep Plane Facelift What You Need to Know

SMAS Facelift

Traditional facelift techniques, like the SMAS facelift, involve suturing the SMAS layer without extensive undermining. While this method can provide acceptable results, it often fails to deliver the complete rejuvenation most patients envision. The SMAS facelift, whether high (above the zygomatic arch) or low (below the zygomatic arch), works by partially lifting the SMAS layer. However, because it doesn’t fully release the deeper tethering, the results cannot match what can be achieved with a deep plane facelift.

Deep Plane Facelift

The Deep Plane Facelift involves a different approach. To understand it, imagine lifting a rug stuck to the floor. In this analogy, the rug represents the SMAS and Platysma, while the floor represents the deeper facial layers to which they are attached. Traditional techniques might cut the edges of the rug and lift it slightly, but the rug remains partially stuck to the floor. The Deep Plane Facelift releases the SMAS and Platysma from these deeper layers, allowing Dr. Singh to achieve a more significant and natural lift.

The face can be repositioned with greater precision and in a more natural vector by entirely freeing the deeper layers. This not only enhances the overall appearance but, most critically, minimizes the tension on the skin during closure, leaving scars that are almost invisible within a few months.

The Benefits of Deep Plane Facelift with Extended Neck Lift

In addition to the Deep Plane Facelift, Dr. Singh incorporates an Extended Neck Lift into his custom facelift treatments. This technique involves lifting the deeper layers of the neck, similar to how the SMAS is lifted in the face. Combining a central neck contouring approach with lateral lifting, the Extended Neck Lift works synergistically with the Deep Plane Facelift to rejuvenate the lower and mid-face for an exquisite, refreshed, natural look.

The combination of a Deep Plane Facelift and an Extended Neck Lift performed by Dr. Singh has brought hundreds of new patients from NYC and other cities, states, and countries to his private, luxury Manhattan practice.

Awake Face Lift in NYC

An Awake Facelift, or local anesthesia facelift, is a revolutionary method for safe facial rejuvenation, distinguished by a faster recovery. This cutting-edge technique is the safest surgical procedure, leading to a youthful and natural-looking look free from the risks associated with general anesthesia.

The delicacy and precision of your plastic surgeon are critical, particularly when considering the sensitivity of the facial region. Dr. Singh’s Awake Facelift avoids the undesirable, shrink-wrapped look of older, outdated surgical methods. The Awake Facelift is often the ideal approach for mature patients who want to look healthier, younger, and more vital without general anesthesia.
