Hello again. This is Dr. Yuki from BIANCA.

Ever looked in the mirror and thought, “When did I start looking like a shar-pei puppy?” If you’re concerned about loose skin and wrinkles, fear not! Your days of resembling a wrinkled raisin are over. Enter the deep plane facelift—a procedure so effective, it could probably make a prune look like a fresh plum. Ready to learn why this facelift is the superhero your skin has been waiting for? Let’s dive in and say goodbye to the sag!

A deep plane facelift is unique compared to other facelift techniques due to its approach and the results it delivers. Here’s what sets it apart:

1. Depth of Tissue Manipulation

-Unlike traditional facelifts that mainly address the skin and the superficial layer, a deep plane facelift targets the deeper layers of facial muscles and connective tissues, specifically the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System). This deeper approach allows for more significant and natural-looking improvements.

2. Longevity of Result

–  Since the procedure addresses the root causes of facial aging by lifting the deeper facial structures, the results of a deep plane facelift are typically more durable, lasting longer than those of traditional facelifts.

3. Enhanced Mid-Face Lifting

– Traditional facelifts often struggle to adequately lift the mid-face region, but the deep plane facelift excels here. It lifts the cheeks and addresses nasolabial folds more effectively, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
