As we age, we gradually lose the volume, elasticity, and dynamic expression of our face. The tired look we see in the mirror is caused not only by changes on the surface of the skin but also by the displacement of the underlying tissues. At this point, a technique that has gained significant attention in the aesthetic surgery world in recent years comes into play: Deep Plane Facelift.
This method, which has revolutionized facial rejuvenation surgeries, offers natural, long-lasting, and incredibly subtle results when combined with Dr. Karaca Başaran’s deep knowledge of facial anatomy and surgical expertise.
What is Deep Plane Facelift?
The Deep Plane Facelift is different from traditional facelift methods in that it targets deeper tissues. The connective tissue and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding facial muscles) beneath the skin, along with the skin, muscles, and fat layers of the face, are reshaped using the Deep Plane Facelift technique. This method does not just tighten the skin but also reshapes the underlying structure, providing more permanent and natural results. Dr. Karaca Başaran uses this technique to lift the tissues beneath the skin and restore youthful and natural facial contours.
How is Deep Plane Facelift Performed?
The Deep Plane Facelift treatment requires a specialized surgical procedure, which typically includes the following steps:
- Examination and Planning: First, the specialist evaluates your facial structure and skin condition. A personalized treatment plan is designed based on your aesthetic goals and facial features.
- Anesthesia: The Deep Plane Facelift is usually performed under general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is completely relaxed during the procedure.
- Incisions and Access: During the operation, incisions are made starting from in front of the ear and extending into the hairline. These incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.
- Reshaping the Tissues: The connective tissue and fascia in the deeper layers of the face are carefully lifted and reshaped, creating a natural and lasting lifting effect.
- Sutures and Recovery: After the surgery, the incisions are carefully sutured. The recovery process can take several weeks, during which time swelling and bruising may occur. However, once healed, the scars are almost invisible.
Advantages of Deep Plane Facelift
The Deep Plane Facelift offers several advantages over traditional facelift methods:
- Permanent and Natural Results: By targeting the underlying tissues of the face, the Deep Plane Facelift ensures permanent and natural results. This technique keeps the face youthful and healthy for a longer time, as opposed to temporary skin-tightening methods.
- Minimal Scarring and Faster Recovery: The incisions made during the Deep Plane Facelift are placed around the ears, which minimizes visible scarring. Additionally, the recovery process is generally faster.
- Natural Shaping of Facial Features: This technique ensures that the face’s features are restored in a natural way, without excessive tightness or a stiff look. The result is a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
- Reduces Sagging and Restores Fat Balance: The Deep Plane Facelift also reshapes the fat tissue beneath the skin, effectively reducing sagging and the effects of aging. It restores a fuller and healthier look to the face.
- Reduces Deep Lines on the Face: The deep lines and wrinkles on the face are effectively reduced with the Deep Plane Facelift, leaving the skin tighter and smoother.
Who is Suitable for Deep Plane Facelift?
The Deep Plane Facelift is typically recommended for middle-aged individuals and those over 40. This treatment is suitable for:
- Individuals with noticeable sagging and wrinkles on the face.
- People who have lost skin elasticity and want a more youthful appearance.
- Those seeking natural and long-lasting results.
- Individuals wishing to enhance and define their facial features.
For younger individuals with still strong skin elasticity, lighter surgical procedures or non-invasive treatments may be preferred over the Deep Plane Facelift.
Recovery Process After Deep Plane Facelift
The recovery process after the Deep Plane Facelift can vary from person to person, but generally, the following stages occur:
- First 1-2 Days: Swelling and bruising may occur in the first few days. Your doctor will recommend appropriate treatments to speed up recovery.
- First Week: During the first week, your doctor may schedule a visit to check your stitches. During this period, it is important to keep your head elevated and avoid heavy physical activity.
- First Month: Swelling and bruising mostly subside. Your skin begins to heal, and the natural appearance slowly starts to emerge.
- Full Recovery: Full recovery can take several months. By the end of this process, you will have a younger, fresher, and more natural-looking facial structure.
Conclusion: Deep Plane Facelift for a Youthful and Natural Look
The Deep Plane Facelift is an excellent treatment method that targets the underlying structure of the face to provide permanent and natural results. It effectively eliminates sagging and wrinkles while giving you a more youthful and vibrant appearance.
