Introducing the transformative deep plane facelift Manhattan, a breakthrough technique expertly performed by Manhattan’s esteemed board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Karan Mehta. This advanced procedure targets sagging skin and deep tissue concerns, helping you achieve natural, long-lasting rejuvenation with enhanced facial contours and a more youthful appearance.
A Comprehensive Facelift Technique
The deep plane facelift is a sophisticated surgical procedure executed by Dr. Mehta. This technique involves repositioning the deeper facial tissue layers, including muscles and fat, to restore youthful facial contours. By accessing and adjusting the underlying structures, this procedure offers more comprehensive and longer-lasting rejuvenation, addressing issues such as jowls and drooping cheeks. Dr. Mehta’s expertise ensures optimal results while minimizing potential side effects.
What Does Deep Plane Facelift Treat?
- Sagging jowls and cheeks
- Deep facial creases and wrinkles
- Loss of facial volume
- Downturned mouth corners
- Loose neck skin and muscle banding
- Marionette lines and nasolabial folds
- Hollowing under the eyes
- Uneven facial contours
- Overall facial laxity
- A tired or aged appearance
Deep Plane Facelift vs. SMAS Facelift
Both the deep plane facelift in Manhattan and SMAS facelift focus on the SMAS layer of facial muscles and connective tissues. However, their methodologies differ. The SMAS facelift involves cutting and suturing the underlying muscles to make the necessary adjustments and tighten skin, which leads to extended downtime. Meanwhile, the deep plane facelift lifts and repositions the tissues as a flap, which may involve less downtime. Dr. Mehta offers both methods, tailoring the technique to your unique anatomy and goals for optimal outcomes.
Who Is A Candidate For A Deep Plane Facelift?
- Individuals with sagging facial skin and muscle
- Those with pronounced jowls and drooping cheeks
- Those seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation
- Individuals with realistic expectations
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit temporarily
- Those in generally good health for surgery
What Happens During A Deep Plane Facelift?
Dr. Mehta performs the deep plane facelift under general or local anesthesia with sedation so you don’t experience discomfort. Dr. Mehta carefully makes incisions in targeted areas under your chin, behind your ears, and along the hairline. These incisions are made in areas where the scars can easily be concealed.
After making incisions, Dr. Mehta delicately lifts and repositions the underlying SMAS layer. Once the deep tissues are adjusted, excess skin is trimmed and sutured in place. The deep plane facelift in Manhattan procedure concludes within an hour or two.
The Recovery Process For A Deep Plane Facelift?
Following the deep plane facelift, some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common, but these side effects gradually subside over the first few weeks. You’ll be provided comprehensive guidelines by Dr. Mehta’s team, which you must follow accurately. During the initial days of recovery, you must keep your head elevated and avoid most physical activities. You can resume your daily activities within a week, but avoid strenuous activities for 6 weeks.
Dr. Mehta’s team will provide instructions regarding medication, wound care, and dietary restrictions. You will also have to attend follow-up sessions, during which Dr. Mehta will assess your progress and remove sutures. Patience is key, as the initial results emerge within the first few weeks, revealing a youthful appearance. However, the full effects will appear over several months as the side effects diminish and your facial tissues settle into a refined state.
Deep Plane Facelift Aftercare Guidelines:
- Follow the prescribed medication regimen
- Keep the incision sites clean and dry
- Use cold compresses to manage swelling
- Sleep with your head elevated
- Avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks
- Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled
- Communicate any unusual symptoms promptly
- Consume a nutritious diet for optimal healing
- Stay hydrated to support the recovery process
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use sun protection

Facelift FAQs
How long does a facelift surgery typically take?
The duration of facelift surgery varies based on the technique and extent of correction needed. On average, it takes 3 to 5 hours.
Will there be visible scarring after a facelift?
Dr. Mehta uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. The incisions are strategically placed within the natural creases of the face, behind the ears, or along the hairline for discreet concealment. Over time, scars typically fade and become less noticeable.
How long do the results of a facelift last?
While the results are considered permanent, the aging process will continue. Generally, patients enjoy rejuvenated facial contours and smoother skin for 7 to 10 years or more, depending on skincare maintenance and lifestyle.
Is a facelift very painful?
During facelift surgery, patients receive anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. While some discomfort and swelling are common during the initial recovery phase, Dr. Mehta offers comprehensive pain management strategies to minimize discomfort. Most patients report manageable discomfort that improves rapidly with proper post-operative care.
What is the best age to have a facelift?
The ideal age for a facelift varies based on individual factors like skin elasticity, facial aging concerns, and personal preferences. While there’s no one-size-fits-all answer, patients typically consider facelift surgery in their 40s to 60s when signs of aging become more pronounced.
